Dont let the running part of the name deter you - I got ultra-cushy shoes for walking around on concrete all day. They are the best shoes I have ever owned! Huge shout out to Chris for going the extra mile while helping several people at once. Top notch service with an excellent selection of shoes. I will be back!

They were super busy, but one salesperson was able to bounce between several customers to get us fitted. I love that they evaluate my walk and ask questions in order to help fit me to the best shoe for me.Also, you get rewards for each pair of shoes you purchase. Mine today were $75 off!These guys and gals know their stuff!

If you have a tough time picking the right shoe,, well no worries.. I was just after a good fitting shoe, after all that the bottom line of shoe shopping.. They fit me with couple choices and got me in and out with I must say the most comfortable sneaker Ive wore.. definitely know where I be getting my next pair. Great staff, clean store, and reasonable price for good sneakers..

Best place to find your first pair of running shoes! My husband convinced me to go there (I guess he can be considered as a regular already 😂) and though I was pretty sceptical I walked out with a perfect fit! Lincoln Running Company, thank you for your help

Im a casual runner and its always very intimidating going into a running store. But I didnt feel that way at Lincoln Running Company. I was encouraged to try a few similar pairs to my first preference in type of shoe and took them home. They mentioned if I didnt like them to bring them back. I wasnt a huge fan of my first selection and they were great about swapping them out for something that was more suited to my style. I wasnt pushed to the most expensive shoe and not hassled to buy.

Amazingly knowledgeable staff. They put you in the right shoe for your stride. Worth a few buck more than youd pay online. Plus, you are supporting a long time local business.

Review №15

I visited Lincoln Running Company to buy a pair of shoes for my flat feet. Max did my walking assessment and pulled out a couple of different shoe brands. I spend almost 30-40 min trying many other shoes for overpronation. However I end up buying the first pair that Max pulled out for me. This speaks for how well trained the employees are and they know what they are doing! My feet, and knees are happy!

I have been coming to the Lincoln Running company for over 20 years. They are always great at finding me the best shoes and help me find what I need to go with my orthotics. They took the time to find me the shoes that work best for me. The pricing was great too. Overall I am always pleased with my experience and will continue to send all my friends and family their way in the future. Thank you again for setting me up with some awesome shoes!

Noah was fantastic. Gave me great advice on how to look for a proper fit in a good shoe. Taught me new lacing techniques and gave me a trail map. Very professional and great experience. May buy all my tennis shoes from this company from now on.

The Lincoln Running company is a great little store! They are very knowledgeable about everything running. Their inventory is more than adequate for a person to find the right shoes and apparel. There may be parking issues and construction, but its well worth it:)

Great place to get properly fitted shoes. They have you walk around without shoes on to help determine what will work best for you and it really makes all the difference! They also have lots of fun color options (and can order more) which is a bonus. I will definitely be back for my next pair!

Great selection of running shoes and clothes. Extremely knowledgeable staff. Prices are higher than you will find online in most instances. Generous return policy if your shoes don’t work out for you after the sale. Expect to pay for parking since it is downtown, and if parking isn’t available in front of the store you may have to walk a block or two. Overall, the premier place to buy running shoes in Lincoln.

Really good service with individualized attention. They measure your feet and recommend good shoes to try. Last pair I bought here were perfect . Moved out of state and been buying running shoes on my own with no success. Was visiting and decided to stop by and happy I did. They helped me find the perfect running shoe for my flat feet. Can’t wait to go running again and get back into shape! Highly recommend this place.

I purchased a pair of running shoes there because a friend recommended them. The customer service is outstanding because they fit the shoes to your running style. It has improved my running comfort. If you are a runner, get your shoes here because they will fit you with the best shoes possible and you will immediately feel the difference.

There is nowhere else I would go for running shoes - Lincoln Running Company is fantastic! The staff is always so helpful and friendly and make sure that you are getting a shoe that works for your needs. And if it doesnt, they have a great return policy. They also take care of their customers with a great frequent buyer buyer program where you get a significant discount after buying so many pairs. And one thing you cant overlook is how involved they are in the community. Lincoln Running Company is so supportive of so many groups in town and give so much back. They will always get my business!

Review №73

Ive been going to the running company for over 3 years for my running shoes. Ann and her staff are very knowledgeable. They start with seeing how you walk without shoes, then they bring out several pairs and fit them on your feet. They keep the shoes youve bought in their computer system so if you want that same pair again, they can just look it up. I highly recommend to anyone who is serious about running or wanting to get started running to go to the Lincoln Running Company. Great shoes make a huge difference in how much you will enjoy running.

Review №77

I had been told repeatedly to try Lincoln Running Company when I was having issues finding running shoes and I am not disappointed that I took that advice. The team member who helped me started out by getting information on what type of activity I would be doing in the shoes and then proceeded to measure different areas of my feet and took note of my stride. He came back with multiple options, all which would have worked, but I picked my new favorite pair of running shoes out of the bunch and will definitely return to the Lincoln Running Company when I am ready to replace them.

Ja
Review №78

They have a pretty good selection, but for whatever reason they try to push me towards shoes that Ive said arent comfortable or they try and sell me on bright purple and pink shoes when my whole wardrobe is black and Im not a huge fan of brightly colored shoes. I asked if I could order my size in the black but wasnt allowed like the first time I was in there.

Lincoln Running Company is amazing. Ann Ringlein and her crew are knowledgeable and friendly. The company and the employees are deeply invested in the local running community. The store offers a wide selection of high-quality running and athletic gear at fair prices. If they dont have it, theyre happy to order it for you.A word of advice: when shopping for shoes at Lincoln Running Company (or any good running store), go in with an open mind. Trust the employees to guide you to shoes that will work for your body and running style. Toss out brand loyalty or a this is what I always wear mentality. You may be surprised by the pair you end up with, but you will not be disappointed.As a high-mileage runner I purchase at least 6 shoes per year from Lincoln Running Company. Im always happy with the shoes and the shopping experience. And if the shoes happen to not work out, I know that LRC will happily take them back and exchange them for a pair that works better for me.Lincoln Running Company is everything you want from a local business. Theyre a Lincoln gem. Ive been their customer for well over two decades and Im always happy to recommend them to others.

Review №89

Walked in only knowing that I need to purchase new sports shoes. Im pretty active but have flat feet so I am extremely cautions when it comes to shoe purchases. The sales associate was knowledgeable and helpful.I was greeted right away and he asked all the right questions, measured my feet, watched my walk and presented me with great options. Ive had my shoes for a few weeks now and couldnt be happier. Defiantly one of the smoothest shoe buying experiences Ive ever had.

Review №91

Absolutely best place to buy running shoes. owner hosts a beginners running class every year in the summer (and HUNDREDS go, for years!) to encourage people to run. She gives away a pair of shoes every meeting! She has coached NWUs distance runners for YEARS (like 20?) and everyone in her shop KNOWS every single shoe and what each shoe is best for. They make everyone feel like a runner, regardless of what you look like (I dont look like a runner, but they always make me feel special). Ann (owner) seems to know everyone by name, too.

Im running my first marathon this year and so I knew I needed professional advice on shoes and gear. Lincoln Running Company helped me find the perfect shoe for the way that I specifically walk and run. The store was packed full of other customers sharing stories in good cheer, and I still got fast and knowledgeable service. LRC doesnt just care about selling quality running gear, but just being in that store you can tell that they sincerely care about the running community of Lincoln. Thank you Lincoln Running Company for supporting good health and quality running in our town.
