I went to Running... Science with multiple compounding issues and was seen by for a fitting by Sean. He was patient and understood precisely how all the issues were connected cascading. I ran in 4 pairs of shoes and left with a pair of sneakers that I would never have tried but that are feel like the best I’ve had.
Thanks guys.read more

Fletch and the team... at Running Science Rozelle always go above and beyond in their customer service. Their knowledge and expertise is fantastic, therefore providing customers with the perfect shoes. The time taken with each customer is outstanding. My new trail
shoes and road shoes are feeling awesome. I would highly recommend Fletch to any of my clients and to anyone who is currently running or wants to start running. Thanks and see you soon!read more

I was absolutely... blown away by the experience I had at Running Science on Saturday. I wish I got the guys name but he was the young guy with glasses and he was beyond helpful. He took the time to understand my running history and goals and then used his expertise (I don’t use that word lightly) to present 3 options, which became 5 over the half an hour I had with him. Don’t feel like you have to be a top level athlete to come here either - even if they do make you feel like one throughout the process.
Thanks so much!read more

Had a nice... experience with this shop, yes there can be a little wait, but what I enjoyed was watching this store go the extra effort to make sure they fit the customer properly, they talk about your history, activities, injuries, watch you run and if need be (like me) they'll happily go through 7 pairs of shoes to ensure you are well fitted.
It's like my old school shoe store of my childhood, great service with the added benefit of obvious running experience and knowledge.
Thanks ?read more

Definitely worth... the trip and worth buying from bricks and mortar. It’s really important to keep these kinds of high service retail places thriving. Not that they have anything to worry about - we return year after year and so do many others by the looks of how busy they get. Best fit you will ever get.read more

Been coming to... Fletch and the team for some time now. Absolutely love their knowledge and understanding of everything running related. I never question what they recommend to me, I just know that whatever shoe they say would be best for me WILL be best for me. Top service from a top team. Wish many more businesses were run like this, would enjoy shopping a lot more then! 🙂read more

The team at Running... Science were absolutely sensational. Rather than a pick off the shelf service, you were greeted politely and was provided with impeccable service. It was a smooth transaction. They are truly a customer service orientated business with exceptional knowledge.read more

Best shoe fitting... service I’ve ever experienced!
Couldn’t be happier with the runners I bought, I am loving running in them!
Also Phil the Podiatrist is amazing! Not only has he helped mend my problem, he has taught me a new running technique which may prevent
further injuries & made me quicker!read more

Excellent service!... Extremely friendly and helpful staff.
I had an issue with a pair of running shoes, emailed the team and was told to come in for another free fitting and replacement. I arrived and was told I had no need to email and they were more than happy to replace the shoes on the spot. I was offered another fitting, however, I was happy with my original shoes and therefore given the latest version (and sent for a test drive).
Just before I went to leave the store, I was asked to come back to collect a free pair of Running Science socks (when back in stock) and invited to join their running club and Facebook group.
I don’t think I have ever had such good service.
It will not be hard to decide where I get my next pair of running shoes and any other running related gear. Thanks a million!read more
