Big Peach Running Co

Wow! What a great shoe buying experience! After completing the «fit process», I was presented with 3 pairs of the best fitting shoes I’ve ever had on my feet. It’s great to see customer service still exists in the shoe business. This is not the big box experience we’ve grown accustomed to… For those looking for the perfect athletic shoe and great customer service Big Peach is the place to go.

Big Peach (and all the locations for that matter) have a great selection of shoes and apparel. I love that the staff will analyze your stride and help you figure out the write shoe for you. I have been a runner for many years, but just recently had the staff analyze how my feet hit the ground. I now have an awesome pair of Asics that work perfectly for my feet!

This was the first time, I’ve been to this Big Peach store. I usually go to the one in Suwannee, but this one gave me the same excellent service I’m used to. The store was really busy and the sales associate took the time to make me feel like I’m the only person in the store. I highly recommend this store.

Best customer service for any type of business. They spend the time to match what you want. Our family has had different footwear needs and they find the right shoe. Lastly the price difference than the chain store may be 20% or less but worth every penny.

My foray into running began about 4 years ago when my bestie and I decided to start running with 5ks for no particular reason. After our first 5k, we ventured into Big Peach Running Co where we spent nearly an hour trying out shoes. The end result? We each walked out with a pair of shoes and we started signing up to run races like crazy.
The service here is incredible. They take the time to help you pick out the right shoes from using the cameras to watch you run on a treadmill, to them tirelessly bringing out shoes for you to try on and test on the runway.
For me, my running affair began with a pair of Saucony Guide 4s. These lasted me for a while until I realized the traction was gone. Since then, I only come here for shoes. I’ve switched to Brooks but I’m back to the Saucony. They keep records of the shoes you’ve bought so you don’t have to remember what you specifically bought before. Shoe technology will surprisingly change, so going with the same shoe each year may not be the same.
I haven’t really experienced the other Big Peach stores but I’m a real fan of this location.

This is a pretty good shoe store overall. The technology that they use to videotape your feet is quite helpful, and I appreciate the fact that they don’t try to sell you on unnecessary orthotics when they do the videotaping, unlike one of their competitors who shall herein remain nameless.
In addition to shoes, they have a decent selection of clothing. I would recommend the clearance rack, as quality athletic clothing can be a bit pricey.
There are a few ways in which I think this particular location could improve. There are some other BPRC locations that I prefer, but they’d be well out of the way for people who live near Windward.
First, the shoe wall could be organized better. They have brand logos at the top of the wall that appear at first glance to show what’s underneath, but when you look at the shoes, they’re not organized by brand, and the logo placement appears meaningless. The way in which they’re organized isn’t clear. BPRC could probably take a tip from Phidippides and organize by type of shoe (neutral, support, stability, etc.) and have the categories clearly labeled. This would make for a much more user-​friendly browsing experience.
Second, the shoe selection is a little on the small side. Maybe I’m just used to bigger shoe stores, or maybe the lack of clear organization threw me off a bit.
Third, the few employees I heard there didn’t appear to understand that a little pronation is not necessarily a bad thing. They seemed to want to overcorrect. I was there with my girlfriend to get her some running shoes, because she’s just starting to run. She has very mild pronation, and they went immediately to stability models, rather than exploring the various options between neutral and support.

World class customer service. We bought two running shoes (Nike lunar glide 4+ and Asics Gel-Nimbus)…amazing shoes. Many thanks to Todd for helping us choose the right running shoes.

At the beginning of the year I made a pledge to get my fat ass in shape and to exercise more and eat out less. So far, I am doing a pretty good job of maintaining that goal and have seen improvements to my body and health. Recently, I started a Couch to 5k program in the hopes of participating in a 5k in a few months. I have enjoyed the lessons this far and decided to kick it up a notch and get actual running shoes (gasp!). I drove over to BPRC during my lunch break with two expectations. First, I knew I was going to pay $ 20 — $ 30 more at a running store than I could find online. Secondly, I expected personalized service with a friendly face. Happily, I can report that only one of my expectations came to fruition. I walked into the store and headed straight for the back wall where they keep the majority (all?) of their different shoes and begin to peruse the selection. A gentleman came out of the back and offered assistance, to which I declined as I was just looking. Moments later a lady came up and offered assistance which I accepted as I had realized that I had no idea what the heck I was doing. The sales lady (drats, didn’t get her name) was extremely pleasant to deal with and guided me through a litany of different foot sizing tests. I think I really put her through the ringer and tried on about 8 different pairs of shoes. All the while she retained her smile and genuinely wanted to help me get into running. She was extremely knowledgeable about the entire process and I felt like I was in good hands. Once a shoe was selected she walked with me to the front to checkout. I paid about what I expected to pay from a running store and wondered what these babies go for online. After paying, she told me about their Monday evening runs, and I hope to join them in the future once I am in a little better shape. When I got back to the office I looked up my shoes and I was shocked to find that they were less expensive at BPRC then I could find online! That was a true shocker. For a personalized experience and a personalized fit I highly recommend BPRC. The only reason I am deducting a star is that I have not taken the shoes for a jog yet. Once I do, this will be updated. Bravo BPRC, Bravo.

This is my only stop when I am buying new running shoes. Located off of exit 11 on 400 it is the perfect combination of science, selection & staff. First with the science, when you run you do one of three things with your feet, at Big Peach the have you hop on a treadmill and film your feet to see what you do and how you land (they can also watch you run if you prefer). Then they have you try shoes that match how you run. This ensures maximum comfort and helps reduce injury.
They have an incredible selection of shoes, from different styles to different brands. They are patient, courteous and very knowledgeable. If I am not mistaken they are all serious runners and their passion shines through when they assist you.
Every time I am in I always bring a list of questions on everything from shoes, supplements, accessories and they always take their time and our happy to answer them. Right when you walk in they make sure someone is there to assist you.
They have an e-​mail list you can join that lets you know when they are hosting runs, some races that are coming up and links to articles to enhance your running experience.
To Recap
The Good: Everything. They know what they are doing and they do it with a smile.
The Bad: I honestly can’t think of anything.
The Band This Store Most Resembles: The Postal Service. They always delvier and reach «Such Great Heights».
