I had such a great experience here! Brad helped me out and was incredibly nice and knowledgeable—he was so good I honestly thought he was the owner. He took the time to make sure I found the right shoes, and the prices were very fair. Would absolutely recommend this place 10/10 to anyone looking for quality running shoes and excellent service!

I needed a pair of supportive sneakers after transitioning out of a boot post foot injury. I planned to shop around for the best deal online but decided to pop in and check out the selection at Athens Running Company. I’m so glad I did! Within minutes, the gentleman working selected a few shoes for me to try on based on my specific needs. I was in and out with new shoes perfect for my needs in less than 10 minutes AND they were the same price as Amazon. I’m so glad I decided to shop local!

This place is amazing! Even though they don't carry kids shoes, the guy was so awesome and actually went looking in the back to find a pair that looked great and fit for my son! Best shoe store around!
