Tom helped me find the perfect running shoes today, and I couldn't be happier. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and listened carefully to every request and need I had. I left the store completely satisfied with my purchase and I can't wait to try my new shoes on a run.

Thank you, Tom!

Reggie helped me so well! He was very patient with me 🙂
I exchanged the shoes for another pair twice.

I received great help picking out my first running shoes. Exactly what suits me. They really take the time to find the right shoe!

Peter van der Mast
I received pleasant assistance with a warranty case where a small piece of stitching on one of the shoes had broken. There was no discussion; they were simply replaced with new shoes. Because the correct size was not in stock and the shoe had to be ordered anyway, I was even able to choose the color of the new shoes.
Owner's response:Dear Peter, thank you very much for your lovely review! It is great to hear that we were able to resolve the warranty case quickly and to your satisfaction. We wish you many comfortable and enjoyable kilometers in your new shoes! Best regards, Team RunX
Hendrik Klaassens
I always buy my running shoes at Run X in Groningen. I bought Asics a year ago, but after a year the shoes broke. I contacted Asics and Run X, and Run X offered me a new pair of identical Asics shoes. So the service there is great, so thanks Run X Groningen for this good service.
Owner's response:Thank you very much for your lovely review and your trust in RunX Groningen! It is a shame that your shoes broke after a year, but we are glad that we were able to resolve this to your satisfaction with a new pair of ASICS. We wish you many more enjoyable running kilometers! Best regards, Team RunX Groningen
Jan de Bruijn
I had the opportunity to conduct my graduation research for RunX Groningen. During that research, I spoke with many customers and heard positive stories time and again.

As a thank you, I was allowed to pick out a pair of running shoes, so I was able to experience RunX for myself. First, I had a gait analysis, and based on that, we looked at which shoes would suit me best. I received really great help. They really take their time with you, are very knowledgeable, and help you well in finding the right shoes.

It's nice to experience it myself now after all those positive stories. I received some really nice shoes and I definitely recommend RunX if you want to do a gait analysis and/or are looking for new running shoes!
Owner's response:Hello Jan, thank you for your detailed and wonderful review! We really enjoyed that you conducted your graduation research at RunX Groningen and greatly appreciate your contribution. It is especially nice that you were able to experience our gait analysis and personal guidance yourself afterwards. We wish you lots of fun and many great kilometers with your new running shoes! Good luck with your studies and happy running, Team RunX Groningen
Rita Timmer
Yesterday (23-9) I went for a pair of sports/fitness shoes. I explained to the person helping me what I would be using them for; definitely not running 😊.
I tried on 3 pairs of shoes, and there was actually one among them that fit well. However, since I wasn't wearing the right socks, I agreed with her that I would try them on at home with the proper socks, as they fit well with my too-thin socks at the time (size 41), but I wear different socks when working out. I definitely tried on a larger size, but they still didn't fit quite right; they felt a bit big. In the end, I walked out the door with those Brooks size 41s. When I got home, I immediately tried them on with the right socks, but they still fit too tight at the front, especially the right one. And I discovered that I had bought running shoes😳! Even though I had said that I definitely don't use them for that... besides, I didn't find them very stable. I even Googled if this was the right shoe for my purpose; no, they said. Okay, now I know that they know what they are selling in the store, and that's what I assumed.
I went back with the shoes today and explained that I didn't have the right shoes for my purpose and that they didn't fit well with the right socks either.....
I definitely received good help yesterday, and again today, and they also explained why this choice was made. But he also understood me regarding stability. I tried on a size larger of the branded shoes I had, but I still didn't like them in terms of the sole and stability. I tried on others... and that felt a lot better... unfortunately black 😉 even though I love black, I wanted a different color for a change, but oh well! Never mind, they fit well. So thanks for the service, I'm happy with these shoes now! 👍🏻
Owner's response:Thanks for your detailed and honest review, Rita! It's a shame that the first shoes turned out not to fit well upon arriving home and didn't offer the desired stability. We're glad you came back and that together we managed to find a pair that fits well and is better suited to your sports and fitness activities. Even though they ended up being black 😉, we wish you lots of fun exercising with them! Best regards, Team RunX
Bjorn Hilgen
Everything was absolutely fine. I made an appointment via the website and am very happy with the generous opening hours, as I also work in retail. I received good advice and ultimately walked out the door with lovely Asics.
Owner's response:Dear Bjorn, thank you for your lovely review! It is great to hear that you were able to easily make an appointment online and that our extensive opening hours fit well with your work in retail. We wish you lots of fun and comfortable kilometers with your new ASICS! Sporting regards, Retail team RunX Groningen
