I've always ran in Asics Nimbus until they changed the toe box. I did hours and hours of online research, multiple sources, forums, comparison sites, everything. I went into The Athlete's Foot to try some contenders on. Looking for a new alternative to the Nimbus i spoke to Gerald and i can say with confidence i will always come to him in future for his expertise and recommendations. He new every part of every running shoe i'd read about and the differences between them. He also threw in some additional options that would suit my running style. He went the extra mile which is so hard to find these days in the retail world. He was patient and shows genuine enthusiasm and passion for running. It can be hard deciding with so many options out there, if you are in the same situation ask for him. You'll walk out knowing exactly what you want and it will take far less time that what it took me. Thanks Gerald!

Jacobs service was amazing! He was attentive from the moment we stepped in store, extremely knowledgeable on the trainers we were provided as options after completing the sizing etc exercise. My sister and I both came away knowing so much about our feet than before we walked in, and I’ve been to the ASICS store previously and learnt nowhere near as much about my feet and suitable footwear. Jocob was attentive even while dealing with multiple other customers who came into the store while we were in there. Multi tasking at its finest! We came away with 2 pairs of trainers, insoles and socks, and can honestly say it’s because of Jacobs service. I wasn’t even planning on buying anything before speaking to him as was just there for my sister. I never take the time or seek out a way to leave feedback, but I just had to today as Jacobs service was the best customer service I’ve ever received.

  • Jennie Addis

I went in to this store in a foul mood. Having just received a diagnosis of arthritis in my foot, in lots of pain and absolutely miserable about being forced to wear hideous shoes for the rest of my life. The store assistant Taniel was amazing. She was patient, understanding and very knowledgeable. She was kind and friendly, despite me struggling so hard not to be rude because of my mood. Taniel helped me to find the right shoes and although I will always hate them, I am eternally grateful for her help. Will definitely go back when I need to. I will never want to wear sportswear, but I feel confident I got the shoes I need to wear.

  • Leonie Toohey

I wish to give a huge compliment to Allan the manager of Athletes Foot in Westfield Liverpool. Allan went to a lot of trouble and time to assist me with shoes prescribed by a specialist. Allan took phone calls from me leading up to me presenting at the store. He could not have done more to assist me. The shoes unfortunately did not meet my needs but Allan gave me courteous customer service throughout our dealings. Thank you Allan . I returned recently and purchased the Hoki Bondi 7 as my ankle swelling had reduced. I recieved the same courteous service from Allan and Leanne. Thank you both.

  • Geenie

I've been to Athlete's foot many times and the quality of their products are second to none. The price you pay is the quality, skill and labour behind making a good pair of shoes. I recently bought the Wave Rider 24's and they're an amazing set 10/10. I strongly recommend everyone to become a member of athlete's foot. Costs nothing, and all of your receipts are kept in their system. So if you ever need a replacement for a pair of shoes, no need to rummage frantically through your pockets and purses. The ladies who work here are polite and courteous, always a nice visit when I come here

  • Carlos C

Went yesterday to have a refit, due to a shoe I bought a week ago was just not the right fit for me. Gerald welcomed me as soon as I entered the store. He listened to my issue, and came back with 5 options! One of the options he brought out was an option I was thinking of after doing a few reading the day before. There I knew, he knew what he was doing! Really cool guy. I went out smiling as I walked out with a shoe that was far much better for my feet and running needs! It was a 5 star experience.

  • Kevin Nguyen

Ditto what the other people have said! Came here for a nice pair of running shoes and was blown away by the customer service provided by Josh. He walked me through my walking style (pun intended) and then settled in to go through 3 pairs of shoes he thought would be eligible, iterating as he went based on how I felt about them. Did not feel that he was being pushy at any point in time and he gave me a bit of insight into how I walk and should best get fitted in the future so thank you so much !

  • Mangawhai Osteopathy

Excellent, experienced staff. I am a trail runner and Michael was hugely knowledgeable in dealing with my wider than usual fitting shoe requirements. He also explained the importance of socks. I ran in toe socks with my new shoes today and the experience was totally different. In a good way! Go here. These people understand moving and running especially. Actually I buy my shoes from here whenever I visit from New Zealand. That's how valuable I view The Athlete's Foot, The Galleries, Sydney.

  • Maximillian Groblicki

My girlfriend and I had a great experience with Jacob here. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. We knew nothing about our feet before we came in, and upon leaving the store we know understand our feet very well! He wasn't pushy for purchase (they didn't have my preferred option in the right size and he told me to go their website and collect from another store), and he directed us appropriately for our budget. A very good retail experience.

  • Motyl Zavality

Wow what an experience I woul not have expected in the middle of CBD! Super friendly and professional team. The shop assistant Stephen was helping me to choose the right shoes. Useing magic machine, sharing pediatric knowledge, respecting and following all my needs.... like budget colours...being patient, gave me enough time... lets say its not easy when girl is buying shoes! In Sydney - I wont go anywhere else anymore. Thanx for that!

  • Chris Smith

This shop is fantastic for a casual runner that just wants any old pair of trainers at a reasonable market price. Lots of colours and styles to choose from with foot measuring service on-site. However for the serious runner or a lover of the off-road scene, there is no great Racing/high-end shoe choice or staff expertise to help you here. Not a single pair of shoes with any decent lugs. Certainly not a specialist running shop.

  • Mark Anthony Peña

The staff are courteous, professional, and knows their stuff well. Attentive and helpful in giving expert advice on choosing shoes. Philippa, one of the retail salespersons, gave excellent customer service and made the whole endeavour of choosing the best-fitting pair of shoes an enjoyable experience. Definitely a recommended place to go when you're looking for your next pair of perfect shoes!

  • Ajean De Mesa

Went here today to get the perfect running/walking shoes. I have minimal knowledge nor understanding on finding the correct running shoes for my feet. I was served by Jacob who was super helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks Jacob for helping me find the perfect shoe for me! I felt no pressure in buying anything which made my experience super seamless and quick. Highly recommend Jacob .

  • Gabriela Hart

One of my best experiences buying running shoes. One of the staff measured my feet to find the best shoe for me and then he came with several options, been also very patient while I was choosing the colour, design and price that I liked the most ☺️‍♀️ I think the customer service is very personalised, and for me that’s highly important when buying running shoes

  • Mitch Hawkins

Excellent help and service from Ash! We came to the store looking for decent runners to replace generic fit fashion brands that wear out to quickly. After doing the foot analysis, Ash went to the back and brought out a selection of shoes I wouldn't have picked. All felt like clouds on my feet compared to what I had been wearing. We left with a pair each and very satisfied!

  • Geoff Davis

Having experienced some niggling injuries recently, I was looking for some science behind this shoe purchase. Charlotte was professional, helpful and patient. She asked me a range of questions about km's I run, issues, current shoes etc. Ran me through the computer step analysis thingy and settled on options from there. Highly recommended.

  • Jess

Can be a wait time if there are more than 2 customers in store being looked after but staff have a great knowledge of the brands of shoes and what would be best suitable. Staff really spend a lot of time making sure that you're happy with the right shoe. Really friendly and helpful. Def recommend buying your runners from here!

  • Sierra

Amazing spot, amazing service. I have bought two pairs of runners from here over the years and always been happy with them. The digital analysis of your foot shape and gait is unparalleled and continues to improve. Amiable staff are always happy to help out, even with very specific shoe to training regime/goal matching.

  • Kaitlin Kramer

Small store and small selection but excellent staff, service and genuinely interested in finding the right shoe over making a quick sale. First time I’ve gone into a proper shoe store in ages instead of online shopping and had a great experience. The young enthusiastic runner who worked there was super friendly!

  • Chilip L.

My second time visiting the store for brooks dyad 11 wide. Although they didn't have the darker colours i wanted, the staff were super professional and helpful particularly Georgia who showed me other stores nearby which had alternate colours. Best experience I've had in a retail store for a long time.

  • Marie Gabriel

Walked in clueless this morning about what shoes I needed for work but Eugene provided exceptional service in finding me the right pair. He is very knowledgeable about the product and friendly with his approach. Excellent job! (Sadly, the same cannot be said about the rest of the team)

  • Jonathan Reeve

Amazing service from Gerald. He helped me find the best trail running shoes for my wide feet. Unfortunately the size I needed was not in stock so he directed me to another store to make sure I had the pair right for me. Gerald did not get the sale but made me a big fan of the store.

  • Avinesh Pasupati

Had the best experience with Andrew just now, he helped myself and my partner perfectly. Definitely got some long term buyers! Also watched himself and his team deal with a very rude customer with admirable patience and customer service, would give more then 5 stars if I could!

  • Jonathon Calleija

Been running casually for a few years and wanted to get a better analysis. Philipa was very helpful in choosing the right shoes for me. We tried on a bunch before getting the right one. For something as important as a shoe to prevent injuries it's definitely worth visiting.

  • John Wastnage

Excellent expert help from Jasmine today. I usually like to go away and consider my options before I buy but Jasmine's expert analysis of my feet and running style combined with zero pressure to buy left me feeling confident and comfortable buying my Hokas today.

  • Nuttaporn J (Alice)

My husband and I usually buy our shoes here once a year and everyone is always lovely. Today I was served by Jacob. He was so patient and helpful. It took me almost an hour to get which ones I liked and he wasn’t pushy at all. Thank you so much for your help.

  • Heidi Pasqual

I've always found the staff knowledgeable and helpful. I go through a lot of Brooks Dyad Walkers as I work full time on my feet and I know that I can always rely on the staff here to fit my wide feet correctly and order the shoes in specifically for me. HP

  • Anthony Ng

Excellent service. I went into the shop at lunch time today and the guy gave me the full tour - from getting my feet measured to getting full comparison and explanation on a few different pairs of shoes including ASICS , New Balance and Brooks.

  • Nikki P

I came in today and received exceptional service from Jacob. He was very knowledgeable on the products, picked out a range of shoes after assessing me and ensured that I left the store with the shoe that fit me best. It was a busy Saturday

  • Lucy Davies

I had the best experience at this store. They were so busy but the amazing staff made sure everyone was being looked after and the service was so thoughtful. Jacob helped me and his advice and care was so appreciated (I know nothing about

  • XOZTCATPREZ

I'm a sports podiatrist, and I frequently refer patients here. The stock is good and if we have any concerns with shoes after performing a treadmill gait analysis they are excellent to deal with. I thoroughly recommend Mike and his team.

  • Ben Still

These directions are misleading, and the QVB directory does not list this at all.-The store is near the QVB entrance of Town Hall station, at the same level as the ticket booths to the station. From the station, you can go left to QVB

  • Aaron Spiteri

Went into the store and was assisted by Connor, total legend helping me ensure that I was getting the correct shoes! Would strongly recommend you visit this store if you need assistance with running shoes. Very helpful and friendly.

  • Luke

Josh has absolutely insane customer service... Multiple customers at once during peak hour and does it so well. Sold me the nicest socks I've ever worn aswell. Go here, the whole team is amazing as you can see from the reviews.

  • PJ

Good service , they examined my feet and presented some options. For me wearing the correct shoes makes a lot of difference. I am happy with the shoes I bought and feel the difference when I walk compared to my old sneakers

  • Tayla Hart

The team at this store are the best! They’re super friendly and go above and beyond to help you find the perfect shoe. Evan helped me out last week and he provided the best customer service. Thank you team!

  • Nikhil Sharma

Great customer service, great collection. Ask for Lenny, has sound understanding and knowledge which makes the visit so much easier. I'll follow this up with the review of the shoe in a few days.

  • Prue Moodie

Excellent staff. Very patient and well-informed. The store should keep more stock on hand (particularly narrow-fit shoes), but the staff do what they can to order in when stock isn't available.

  • Debbie R

Expected a good range of kids shoes from a big brand like athletes foot, but there were only small range of school shoes and one sport shoe to choose from. Surprised by the lack of range

  • Jo Bargon

Excellent customer service. I got very good advice, was shown a range of options and the sales rep then took the time to chat through which shoe he thought would work best for my feet.

  • Brian Edwards

Both my wife and myself travel from Sutherland Shire to this specific store for our sport shoes. They listen to your needs and provide appropriate choices. Excellent customer service.

Stephen had in-depth knowledge about the shoes and gait analysis. Bought a pair of sneakers suggested by him. It is comfortable and suitable for my plantar fasciitis.
