My wife needed a new pair of shoes so we decided to go shoe shopping at Running Room located on Sherbrooke Street in Westmount. The salesman that served my wife was very patient as she tried on several different styles of shoes until she found the sneakers with the perfect fit. Even though the store is named Running Room, “These shoes were made for walking. ”

Response following the reply from the owner:
I had originally put a 2 star but changed it to 1. I did email the manager as suggested in the owners response, and they never got back to me. I am now wondering whether customer service is a priority to them.
Original review:
I decided to come to this store as I was interested in trying between two pairs of two different brands. The store didn't have one of the model altogether and had a different size for the other model. I told the salesperson, who is a French guy (I am also french, so I could tell by the accent), that I will probably check online to see for the other model you don't have in-store, to which he suggested that I buy them with him and get them delivered at the store. This would be easier he said. I asked why it would be easier and he wasn't really able to reply. I don't even live in the area so I said no (took me 45min to get there), I prefer not buying them with you and have them shipped here. I'd rather try them in a different store first and buy them once am sure. Quickly his face changed and that was the end from his part. No questions whether there's anything else he can do, no follow-up. I was actually interested in trying other brands and very open to purchasing a new pair even if it wasn't the one I had in mind initially. I had paid my parking for 30 min but ended up leaving in 5 min.
The worst part is that the guy never tried to be nice, no smile, no asking how I am, what kind of shoes I am looking for, if I am open to alternative brands. Meanwhile another lady enters and his attitude is unrecognizable, all smiles and "how I can help you mam". I felt like a second class customer, which is pathetic and a feeling which is unheard of for a Canadian customer service experience.

Despite the fact that they don't carry size 5, staff was nice enough to help me pick out a model that I could later order online. So sorry I couldn't purchase from this store, but I'm extremely grateful for the help!

I needed comfortable shoes for my trip and support for my plantar fasciitis. I returned a pair of never worn Brooks that I ordered, the shoes were shipped to the store since the size and color were not in stock on-site. Upon pick up, I tried them once in store to ensure a good fit. A couple of days later I saw my podiatrist a day before leaving on my trip and showed her the sneakers I planned on wearing, unfortunately it wasn’t the right support for my foot problem and she did not recommend them. Due to timing, I decided to return the sneakers after I got back from my trip. The day I returned the item, the woman at the counter was in horrid mood and turned over one of the shoe and said rudely we don’t normally accept returns of worn shoes! I told her they were never worn and explained why I’m returning them. She still proceeds to tell me that next time I should check to make sure they weren’t worn and that since they were Brooks they can make an exception- I repeated the shoes were never worn and only tried in-store when I collected them. That was my first experience at the store… terrible. I will never return nor support their shop moving forward. The reason I give them two stars was because the male attendant was very helpful and explained the different types of sneakers when I decided on this purchase.

Hello. A few years ago I visited the Running Room in Westmount looking for a good pair of running shoes.
I found them and they lasted for years.
Since that time I have moved to the country so when I came to Montreal that is where I went.
What a disappointment!
The young man working was very disinterested in helping me, quite a contrast with the original gentleman, who went out of his way to make sure I was happy with the sale.
No size 14 I was told and no offer to order some for me.
This was on Friday October 28th at 2: 30 pm approx.
A sad reflection of how good that store used to be.

I came into the store because I had received giftcards from my work to use there. The initial sales person that greeted me was very helpful and accommodating - he helped me find the right shoes that I wanted.
When it came for me to pay I told the salesperson that I would be paying by giftcard - the employee said he was new and didnt know how to use them so he called over who I assume was the manager.
Unfortunately the manager made absolutely no attempt to be helpful when he saw that I was trying to pay with a giftcard. He told me he didnt know how to use it and left it up to me to find a solution. After asking several questions in hoping to find a solution he would just stare at me and shrug - all in all pretty rude and extremely unhelpful. Needless to say I didn't purchase anything there, i'll be taking my business elsewhere.
