Incredible customer experience and support services. I saw Mitch the podiatrist a few weeks ago to talk about my pre-existing ankle conditions as well as to purchase a pair of new runners and he was able to provide me with some exercises to help give me better my stability overall. I also had concerns on whether my Garmin watch was giving me a legit cadence reading and he actually took the time to help me validate the Garmin readings- what a legend! While the first pair of runners he suggested may not have worked out for me (On Running Cloudflyers) after my first run, the team at Running Science were more than happy to let me come back and exchange them for an exponentially more comfortable shoe (On Running Cloudmonsters). It was like a day/night experience between these two shoes! Thank you to Mitch, Sam and Chris for the super helpful and genuine service experience. This is why I've trusted this team for my last 2 pairs of runners. Will be going back again once I eventually wear out these crazy comfy Cloudmonsters.

Running Science is a valuable resource for the inner west, and Sydney more generally. To me this is not a store, but a hub for the local active community. It’s a place where you can go for treatment, advice, even consolation - and yes, shoes. I add this last, because my first interaction with the store 6 years ago showed me that this was not just a shoe shop. Fletch tentatively conceded that, yes, he did have the model I was looking for. But I wasn’t getting my feet into it until he’d interviewed me to ensure it was the right choice. This is the care you can be sure you’ll be afforded at Running Science. It’s not a guarantee that every problem will be solved instantly, but it is a promise that you’ll be heard and helped. Combined with this is the fact that Running Science is in a constant state of professional evolution; its business innovation is matched only by the staff’s desire to know more about how to run healthily. There’s not much else you can ask from a “shoe store”.

Just moved to the area and Running Science are now my absolute go to! Fletch and the team are fantastic, with both knowledge and service that goes above and beyond to ensure you're getting what is right for you. I've been running on and off for 10+ years and have been experiencing frustrating calf strain lately after runs. Fletch took the time to discuss my sport history, check my foot type, sizing and running style. After a few jogs up on the treadmill with some different styles and assessment to see how they performed, we landed on a match and I couldn't be happier! Fletch even suggested some changes to my current training regime given my current setbacks. Their level of knowledge and care can't be matched, fantastic store by runners for runners Thank you team!

  • Mario Buchs

I've been going to Running Science for at least 8 years now and EVERY single time I get treated by a professional team of very knowledgeable staff. Fletch above all wants people to feel welcome and get A Plus treatment by leading from the front. Not only do you get the best advice on Running shoes you can also see Phil the podiatrist. This is a very unique set up and the way the guys run this shop is the way of the future. I get measured on every visit to ensure that best shoes are fitted for my running style, volume and most importantly of all comfort. As a coach I send ALL my runners to Running Science who I trust 100% with every of my athletes!!

  • Elaine Scott

As a client new to the trail running world who had a history of bursitis, I needed advice on what shoes would support me and avoid potentially flaring up old issues. Running Science took the time to get a very detailed history and consulted with their on- site podiatrist before recommending a shoe that has been fantastic. My bursitis has settled and even after competing in the Blue Mountains UTA I had no major issues. I would highly recommend Running Science to anyone looking for a personalised approach without paying exorbitant prices. As runners themselves, their knowledge is evident and their customer service excellent. Would highly recommend.

  • Blythe

I recently bought some new running shoes for my first marathon coming up in 3 weeks. I walked in quite distressed as I had been doing all this training and my toes were bruised, in pain and I thought I was not going to be able to run for a while to let them heal, let alone being able to run the marathon! I walked out with a new pair of shoes, and have already done two runs with no pain - my feet are happy and I am very very happy. Thanks so much Fletch and the team, you were so patient and persistent and so knowledgeable and I am so appreciative of your guidance and support.

  • Sean Hodgins

Best running shop in Sydney! Fletch and the team spend a lot of time and care when fitting you for a shoe, including letting you try it outside. They know what suits each individual runner and find the best shoe for you. Recently have seen Byron, who's one of the shop physio's. He's been a great help and helped me immensely with an injury I've been struggling with post Sydney marathon. Could not rate Running Science more highly. There's also 4 weekly runs with a great community that Fletch and the team have build up over the years. Thanks for all you're help team!

  • Rick Dufourq

Running Science is an amazing store! They have a true passion for helping people get into running and stay injury-free. As an experienced runner I was particularly impressed with John, who took the time to understand my running goals and fit me with an epic pair of new shoes, which are running in superbly at the moment. They were all knowledgeable and enthusiastic about running, and it was clear that John genuinely cares about their customers. I would highly recommend Running Science to anyone looking for a great running shoe store with expert advice.

  • Pete D

It was a couple of years ago that I've bought from them a shoe they recommended and some running gears and to this day I still remember my visit. Highly experienced staff assessed and recommended the Mizuno Wave Rider, and it unbelievably made a huge difference to my running. A friend recommended me here and I did not realise how much of an impact the correct running shoe let alone education would go a long way. It was overall worth it because you are receiving expert advice that's valuable in the long term. Thanks, and you guys are amazing!

  • Lynette Hughes

Absolutely love this store. Got some runners fitted here today and it was a great experience. The staff here are full of knowledge and actually take the time to find you your perfect pair of runners, not just trying to sell you any pair. They won’t let you leave without being fitted correctly and they assess your running / walking style. Also the staff here are actually degree qualified and are knowledgeable regarding running and other exercises. Super worth while. Thank you!

  • Jane Comensoli

I am delighted with my new running shoes. This is a shop that "knows its stuff". Staff took the time to understand my running needs, my history of injuries, and the eccentricities of my running style. There is no sense of rushing, as different models are tried for comfort, and staff observe them "in action" on the treadmill. The staff truly want you to have what best suits your running needs and are prepared to go above and beyond to achieve that. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

  • jody whitson

Booked an appointment for a walking/jogging shoe fit, I arrived and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the young lady, Tamra, who checked my foot type and sizing was excellent. I was given different options for style of shoes suited to my feet. I settled on a shoe and the lady suggest I go half a size bigger, I am glad I did as the shoes are very comfortable and exactly what I was after. Highly recommend running science and their staff.

  • Emma Virgona

Fantastic customer service. Served by Fletch. Takes the time to get the right shoe for your foot and running experience. If you aren't completely happy with the shoes they will find one that is. It is slightly more expensive than buying shoes online, but the personal service you get with the team is worth it. (Shoe companies keep changing their styles!). Have been going here for many years and have always had a positive experience.

  • Warren Williams

The Team at Running Science are so supportive of our training squad. I can trust that if I send an athlete/runner to Fletch and the team they will be expertly fitting with the right shoe for their needs. Phil is also an expert podiatrist with specific knowledge for running injury and between them their passion for running makes it the go to place for all your running needs.

  • Rachel Kim

I'm from Perth and waited to for my trip to Sydney to repurchase my worn out trail shoes and I'm glad I did. Fletch and the team at Running Science provided the best and most informed advice. I really appreciate the time and expert help in making sure I had the right shoes for me. Next shoes pair of shoes they will still be able to support me while I'm in Perth.

  • Ryan Barton

First visit at Running Science today and it was 10/10 start to finish. Friendly staff, spoke to Fletch and another girl who works there, didn’t catch her name but, both really nice. Had a physio appointment with Byron. Top bloke and clearly knows his stuff, exceptionally thorough. Left very satisfied with diagnosis and exercises/ treatment. Highly recommended!

  • Evelyn lengua haro

Great store with a good range of shoes, very happy how John explained and fitted the right shoes for me. After having done so much running this year it was important to me to get the right shoes to avoid injuries. Using the treadmill to make sure they are comfortable while running was great! I would happily come back to buy my shoes from here from now on.

  • Heather Hawkins

Recently I popped into Running Science, as I needed some new shoes for my upcoming 24 hour track race. The team at Running Science were absolutely awesome - I received valuable advice, they were incredibly generous with their time and I was fitted with the perfect shoe. I went on to run 178.92 kms in the 24 hour race with no issues at all, cheers, H :)

  • Gillian Seeley

Best service and advice ever! Fletch was so lovely and extremely knowledgeable. I left with the perfect pair of running shoes, shoes I didn’t even know existed! I love that he was concerned about finding the best shoe for my foot rather than focusing on brands… None of the shoes are out on display for that reason. Highly recommend!!!

  • Caitlin Payne

I have been wearing ASICS for as long as I can remember and have recently increased my walking and seem to be getting lots of blisters. I went in and saw Fletch – he was extremely knowledgeable, patient and a super nice guy! He has helped me find the perfect pair of walking shoes; not sure I will ever go back to wearing ASICS!

  • Louise O'Connor

Had a shoe fitting with Johnathan. So helpful and friendly. Great to deal with someone who is a runner themselves and knows their stuff.. allows you to do a practice run in the shoes which is practical and gives you a real idea of what you’re buying! Definitely recommend.. worth the bus from the eastern suburbs …

  • maria zol

Whenever I need new runners I come to Running Science Rozelle. No problem fitting my problematic feet, always satisfied and I return when the shoes wear out and need replacing. Thanks Fletch for your service and remembering me from three years ago, great memory! Will see you again no doubt.

  • Mark Moran

Really happy customer! I'm just returning to trail running after an ACL reconstruction and needed expert advice on the right shoe. Running Science took loads of time to find out my goals and my running style. I am absolutely delighted. Perfect fit. Now I can start racking up the KMs.

Perfect name for the shop, as there really is a Science to getting new Running Shoes!!! They were able to analyze my running style and advise the best type of shoe to match! In my view you can't buy a good looking pair of running

A big thank you to Mitchell Thorpe for all his help with my running technique. Mitchell was very thorough in discussing all aspects of running, including giving me some tips on strengthening. I left feeling much more confident.
