RunLab

Every staff member we have had contact with has been great. We have worked with John the most. He is knowledgeable, professional, enthusiastic, caring, and really seems to love what he does. Although we have spent less time with Shane and Rory, the same can be said for both of them. All three are super! Thank you so much!

These guys are Phenomenal! Suffering from osteoarthritis, I went to RunLab for a gait analysis and with their expertise & knowledge, as well as therapy with John Love, I was able to compete, pain free in my first triathlon. Great stock of athletic shoes & other retail items. Go by and check them out. Fantastic customer service. Love these guys!

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful customer service! Upon leaving I didn’t feel like a customer, I felt like a friend. Thanks Rory!

I started doing rehab at the downtown location and came up here for a follow up. Love the location near the Mansfield Dam Recration Area. They have a great selection of good quality running shoes. They even have the small sizes, I wear anywhere between a six and seven and a half. Rory, Devin and Lucas are great and have a lot of running knowledge between them. So far running has become much more comfortable and I know the root cause of my pain. Anyone should think about coming here.

I am so impressed by the staff and quality of service at RunLab. After an initial informative assessment with Dr. Davis, I had a gait analysis. John not only clearly explained the issues with my gait, he provided me with practical steps I could immediately take to correct them. I’ve struggled with plantar fasciitis for years and have seen multiple professionals, but this is the first time I’ve walked away from an appointment with a clear plan of attack. After a week of implementing John’s suggestions, I’m already seeing positive results. Consider me a RunLab fan!

Excellent customer service! Great selection. Looking forward to sending them more runners. And getting my gate analysis and next shoe fitting.

Hands down. the best! After months of pseudo running in ancient ill-​fitted sneakers, I ran to RunLab in Lakeway for help (see what I did there). Since I love their other services (chiropractic care, massage therapy, general awesomeness), I figured I’d give their newly-​opened running shoe store a try. Rory was awesome! He patiently listened all my quirks: I explained I didn’t care for those heavily padded, thick soles. I prefer minimalist — almost barefoot… and I don’t like to wear socks… but when I do, they’re usually really thin socks… but once in a while I’ll wear thick socks — Oh and my feet hurt after running a couple of miles in my current shoes and I used to have an IT band problem, but don’t anymore… AND I really need a running shoe that’s triathlon friendly — one I can slip on with a loop… got it? :)
Rory patiently smiled and asked me to jump on the treadmill for a [free] gait analysis, then said he had the perfect shoe for me… and he did… (0.0) — Skecher’s GoRun — super lightweight, form fitting, smooth fabric for barefoot wear, a removable insole for a more minimal feel and it supported my foot without squeezing it. He brought out a bunch of others to try, but the first pair were definitely the best. I’ve run in these shoes a few times now and can honestly say they feel great.
I highly recommend these guys. They answer all your questions and care about your concerns. Their main goal is to make sure you’re functioning correctly — whether it’s fitting you for the proper running shoe, nutrition counseling, treating a chronic injury or preventing injury altogether — this is the place to go. I also recommend their videotaped gait evaluation (for all ages and fitness levels) for new runners and veterans. Definitely helps with form and performance.

If you need new athletic shoes, do yourself a favor and go to RunLab! They just spent literally an hour with me, helping me find the first pair of shoes I have ever owned that actually fits right! They did a gait analysis on the treadmill (for free, mind you) and then brought out a handful of shoes for me to try on, selected based on the shape of my foot (wide toe box)… with and without inserts, etc. They explained to me what to look for in a shoe, showed me a trick for tying my shoe to avoid heel slip, and more. I absolutely would not have been able to find the right shoe without them. Service like that is just hard to come by. Highly highly recommend!

These folks just made my Fricken day. Went in to get a real pair of shoes to run on trails with the highest hopes that they could help me. Exceeded my expectations: great vibe, great service, great communication!
I didn’t know that they offer services like rehab for athletes, gait analysis, injury evaluations, (I’m copying their card now, Ha!) Nutrition counseling, bike fits, and group fitness when I walked in but am planning on going back for a bike fit!
