Run N Tri Outfitters Llc — Attraction in Wake Forest

So I decided to pop into Run N Tri for the first time today because I needed a pair of running shoes to start slowly rehabilitating myself from some old injuries. I haven't run in years and know very little about running other than you put one foot in front of the other a whole bunch of times. I can assure you that after shopping at this store I'll never buy running gear from any other place again!

When I walked through the door I was greeted immediately by the professional and congenial owner Brian, who took an quick interest in my reason for being there. He quickly isolated my needs, and fitted me to a couple different brands of shoes. After putting me on the treadmill for a quick jog he assessed my gait and he had me immediately in the proper pair of shoes. After having just finished a workout, in said shoes, I'm writing this and I can say it's the first time I haven't experience knee and back pain while working out since I can remember.

Brian is a wealth of knowledge and has an amazing demeanor to boot. The store may appear small but is very deep and has tons of quality merchandise to choose from, while maintaining that down home feel which unfortunately is waning in our society. Thank You for proving to me that true customer service isn't dead Brian. I look forward to seeing you again when I need to make my next...

After working in customer service for 10 years, I can say this store has some of the best service in the triangle. My mom recommended this location to me and she did warn me that they were very friendly and nice here but I have to say for a shoe/athletic store they really blew me away! Brian (and Barkley) helped me find the perfect shoe and basically showed me that I have been wearing the wrong size shoe for a while. Super knowledgeable. I am currently at work and I feel like I’m walking on clouds. Not to mention the funny jokes and great conversation along the way. Seriously if you have never been and are in search for shoes, skip DSW, skip Rack Room, skip Footlocker, etc… Come here! They have more than just athletic shoes too, they even have a huge selection of Birkenstocks. Support small businesses and come buy the best shoes you’ll ever have and have a great time with humans and the cutest dog ever! You...

I'm new to running at age 54. A business associate who has ran 9 Marathons asked me if I had good running shoes. I liked my ASICS off Amazon, but when I thought good running shoes. I thought of Run N Tri in Wake Forest which I'd never been in prior to my recent visit. Kaitlyn was very helpful, patient and shared options. I ended up getting a pair of Brooks DYAD 11. I plan to go back to RUN N TRI to get trail running shoes and will likely stick with Brooks. SIDE NOTE: I did my first ever 5K in our neighborhood on 12.13.2020. I got the Books on 12.29.20. I'm not sure how much has to do with having real running shows. But for about the last week, I've been relatively ache free. Also on 1.13.2021, I beat my 12.13 time by 9 minutes and 30 seconds. I've done more running miles in the last 30 days than at any point of my life...
