Super Runners Shop

This store is always short on invetory. Every time I visit it looking for running gear they tell me that they can get what I need from another store. Don’t bother calling the store to check in advance, I have tried that. The salesman rushed me off the phone and hung up. Save your time and just go to the store on Amsterdam. You will find what you need and you will be treated as if they actually want your business.

I am beyond pleased with this store in terms of service, staff knowledge, and shoe selection. Wowwee!
For Christmakkuh this year (…yeah, that’s right…), I wanted to get the beau some fitness-​related gifts. He’s been going to the gym more and more lately, but he hasn’t had a good pair of gym sneakers for years. He walks on the treadmills, uses the elliptical machines, and uses rowing machines and weights. He doesn’t run or do excessive physical activities due to his handicap, but… he really shouldn’t be doing these exercises in his Pro-​Keds, does he? (Even if they DO look good on him…)
What is excellent about this store is the pedorthist in the store. I wish her got her name, but she was most helpful! She took a profile of the beau’s feet; she found that he is extremely flat-​footed, virtually without an arch on his left foot. She was able to pick out six sneakers to provide him with the most stability and was very patient with him. After about 20 minutes, after trying on a few pairs, they settled one a pair of New Balance sneakers that felt excellent on his feet.
This isn’t just a place to buy new gym sneakers, but a place to find gym sneakers that will be help and support your feet and, ultimately, your body. Adjustments such as this can go a long way as compared to just finding a fly pair of kicks at a Foot Locker.

This is a great store! This running store has a large selection of sneakers, clothes and gear. Beautiful gps Garmin watches! Large selection of sneakers (and good prices)! The staff was not only friendly and helpful but also very knowledgeable about running. I originally went to the store undecided about which watch to purchase but thankfully Michael, the manager, explained the different watches and their features. He also checked my form when I run to make sure I was running in the right type of sneakers! He was kind & helpful! If you need running gear, this is the place to go!

50% off Sale going on

As none of you probably know I’m no runner, but the bright sneaker display and the 50% off sale sign drew me in. I don’t run. I don’t attempt to run. I won’t hurry to the bus stop. I’ll just wait for the next one.
But I did need new sneakers, and bright zip ups for biking around the city. I was able to get both at Super Runners. Adam, manager, greeted me as soon as I walked in and immediately showed me the sweet merch. Adam even told me there is a bigger selection at another SRS location. What a guy, huh? He was willing to give up a sale so I could have more options. I ended up with a new pair of Nike Frees and a super bright florescent yellow long sleeved top. Its beautiful and cabs will see me on the road, even at night.
Thanks Adam!

Every time I go into this store no one says a word to me. They are excellent at ignoring you and pretending that they don’t care. I called them to ask a question and they didn’t know anything. They are in my neighborhood, but I’d rather head downtown to Jack Rabbit or Paragon before ever giving them money.

I am not exactly sure when this store officially opened but glad either way that it has graced its presence on the upper Upper West side! I can say I have been to the other ‘professional’ shoe stores and I guess I was better prepared and knew what to ask.
I wanted to get an analysis of the type of runner I am as well as what might be causing specific pain in my foot. Bob helped me out and I could already tell he was not trying to just sell a pair of sneakers to me, which has happened in the past. I tried running both in socks and in the pair of shoes I was considering to purchase. After we reviewed the first video it was apparent that my feet were pointing out a little bit. Bob then showed me a photo from one of his running books to give me an idea of how I should be running.
He suggested a pair of shoes that was wider than my earlier shoes and my feet were very happy. Of course, because I am a brand loyal person I also wanted to have my pair of black asics that I have been using for the past 3 years. Bob suggested I try a pair of shoes ½ size bigger. I did not think of this. Additionally he also said I should consider a pair of ultra thin socks so my feet would not be constricted.
I left the store more than satisfied and definitely better prepared for future runs and races I have.
I would also suggest Sean/​Shawn who was working there during my visit. Both sales people are experienced marathon runners and general running.
Thank you Super Runner Shop Upper UPPER West Side!
