Running Room

A super rude guy works there. I just called to ask a couple of questions about the gels they sell. After answering a couple of questions very curtly, he refused to answer a follow up question and told me, "you can investigate that yourself when you get to the store". No, buddy, I won't be coming to the store. He was obviously busy with a customer, but that's what the hold button is for... or offer to call back...

The guy who works here has a terrible attitude like really really rude. I do not want to purchase a shoe here even if I really like it. That I literally want to go and buy from another running room just so I dont have to deal with him. Also, unlike other running shoe associates, he has no knowledge abour shoe. In fact he embarrasses you for asking him questions. I see other similar reviews. Like how is he still working here??

Unsure why there are so many poor reviews of this location. The store manager was incredibly knowledgeable and spent 20 mins helping me decide what to purchase, even though I told him Im not ready to make a purchase at the moment. He also spent time walking through the biomechanics of the body and how shoe choices influence movement. I enjoyed speaking with him. So helpful, and so kind. He may not have been the most energetic extraverted guy in the world right off the bat but who is? recommend!

I went to the running room today for a new pair of shoes, as my old ones are giving me very particular foot pain... which is spreading, due to how frequently I run. The sales associate was extremely helpful and efficient. I think a lot of these reviews are non-neurodivergent people assessing a neurodivergent person's social skills. As an also neurodivergent person, my interaction was calm, easy, to the point, and I cannot stress enough *efficient*. Everyone communicates differently. I think it is important to consider this before placing judgment. I, personally, would recommend this location to anyone who wants a skilled eye in assessment without too much Canadiana banter.

Individual working couldnt have tried to rush me out of the store fast enough. Also stood 10+ feet away from me at all times, couldnt hear what he was saying, wasnt any help, was incredibly short/was almost upset that I showed up, and ultimately just pushed me to order online. Wont ever go back here.
