Delray Beach Running Company

Annie’s amazing, so helpful and friendly, best experience at a shoe store, bought an amazingly comfortable pair of running shoes she chose fore me based on the outcome of the treadmill test etc. definitely a place to check out!!!

I learned of Delray Beach Running Company when I stopped in to pick up my bib for the Jingle Bell 5K in December.
I needed a new pair of running shoes and complained to Annie (the owner) that the shoes I keep picking from other general stores were just not cutting it. She said I really needed a good pair of true running shoes and that she did fittings for no charge.
So… Jeff and I came back another day and had a fitting. We ran on a treadmill and Annie recorded our steps. She was able to show us our strengths and weaknesses (I run with my feet turning ‘in’ which I learned is called ‘pronated’ and I have high arches. Both issues causing me some ankle soreness). Of course, as, usual, Jeff ran perfectly and had no issues, which he bragged about for several days!
Annie then had me try on several pair of shoes for fit and arch support, etc. I ended up with a Hoka One One running shoe, and Annie then recorded me running and showed me that my issues were strongly minimized. The shoe ‘corrected’ and stabilized my foot so it didn’t roll in the same way.
Annie and her team have great personalities and made the experience fun. They are also experienced runners so gave great recommendations regarding running, foam rolling, socks, you name it.
They also shared that they have a free running club on Saturdays and a couple evenings a week. Now that I am getting my mileage up, I am going to start going on Saturdays when I can to jog with others and mix it up a little for fun.
I am glad I found this Running store and Annie! I have been to other running stores in the area and I didn’t find them as friendly, as experienced or as team oriented.
Would definitely recommend checking the store out. If you park on the side lot, you can get a smoothie next door as you pass by!

I have to say Annie is the best at what she does. She put me on the treadmill, examined me walking around in them, examined my feet and gave me exactly the shoe I’ll ever need. Her whole team are professionals and experts as well should be trusted completely. I could not ask for more of a delightful experience when I walk in, I was greeted with a warm hello and a handshake. I am on and off with the running club, but they are a supportive and informative group of people. If you want to become a better runner join their running club and you will. The folks that work there are not just employees, but people that actually are obsessed with running as much as I am. I recommend this place to anyone that is a serious runner or beginner. You cannot go wrong here!

Annie, Megan, Simone and Hannah are the best! Very friendly, lots of free runs and fun activities. Check em out!

Whether you are new to running or an experienced runner, this place is worth checking out! Today was my first visit and the owner and her associate were very friendly and knowledgable. They took the time to evaluate my run and show me video playback. They also showed me how to better position myself so I can minimize the impact on my heels. This was a free service they offered even if I didn’t buy shoes. I tried on about 5 different pairs and found ones I liked (Brooks). If they don’t have the size, color, etc. that you want, they will order it for you. They also offer a free organized running group 3 times per week.
FYI — 4 stars because the prices are MSRP and no discounts/​negotiations.

Delray Beach Running Company is the place to go If you want a very thorough and intelligent analysis of your feet, your walk/​run, proper shoe selection and sizing. A treadmill with a monitor recording how your feet step is the electronic technology used to properly analyze how you currently walk/​run. Many details and a lot of information is taken to put you on the right path of finding the right shoe for you.
Annie was very welcoming. She (& her staff) provided excellent customer service while her main concern was for my safety. She considered my current needs & wants, as well as what I would want/​need in the future.
I highly recommend visiting Delray Beach Running Company anytime you’re planning to run or walk efficiently using the best footwear to enhance your performance!

Very excited to have this new store on the Ave. It’s great to have a choice local, instead of driving to Boca or Wpb. My girlfriend and I needed to order Newton’s pretty fast and the Owner walked my order through quickly. The store is definitely beautiful, and has some of the highest tech stuff I’ve seen around.
I hope they keep up the great customer service, and recommend this place to anyone.

Haven’t bought anything there yet, but I went in to check it out and the store is beautiful! And the owner is very personable and knowledgable. They had a treadmill so they can watch you run before you buy your shoes.
I am good with shoes for now, but I will definitely go there to get my next pair. I also like that the owner is involved with community.
