I saw they had a great deal on a pair of shoes, so I placed an order online. The order was placed on Sunday, the shoes were in the mail Monday and arrived to me in Florida by Wednesday. There was even a hand written thank you note with the receipt. That's awesome service! Thank you!

Jim and Clifton have been invaluable resources to my running success over the years. They have always made sure that I know the latest news on my favorite shoes, as well as made sure I had the funkiest color possible with each version.
Beyond shoes they have made game changing recommendations over the years that have helped me perform my best during a run, and recover quickly after. My use of Huma gels, nuun hydration tabs, salt tablets, injinji socks, and the theragun percussive massager were all recommendations from the experts at Iowa Running Co.

I have had problems (a lot of them) with my feet for decades. I mentioned my recent issues to a dear friend who recommended Iowa Running Company. She told me how much they helped her, her mom and mom-in-law (she got them gift cards to go there, and they were hooked). So, I went to see them on 10/7, and Jim and Lynette did NOT disappoint. They were incredibly knowledgeable, funny and patient with all my questions - which were many. I cannot say enough about this wonderful business, and I'm so thankful they are right here in Cedar Rapids! My shoes feel amazing, and my feet are, as well. I'm excited

Can’t say enough good things about Iowa Run Co. I started running in 2017 and didn’t know anything about running or the shoes I needed. Clifton took the time to get me fitted and understand my needs. He Talked me into my first marathon and I got hooked. Two years later I qualified for Boston. Great products, great service and super inclusive!

As long as this place is open they will have my business. I called right before close to make sure they had my the brand/size in stock but it went to the recording, but then they called me back and answered all my questions! Wonderful servicen They make sure the shoes fit and work for what you want. If you even have the smallest complaint about the shoe they are off to find a different one for you. It wasn't about getting people in and out they wanted you to be comfortable and get what works for you.

Clifton from Iowa Running provided the most exceptional customer service I have honestly ever experienced. I bought my husband some shoes and they accidentally got shipped to the wrong address. Clifton tracked the shoes down and had them overnighted to my house and kept me in the loop during the whole process. He offered to give me a $20 credit card refund because of the delay in delivery, but the refund never appeared on my credit card statement. I wasn’t worried about it because of the effort involved in tracking down the shoes and getting them to me. Well, I’m assuming after doing his accounting

I had a very positive experience with this store. Both of the men were very professional and provided excellent recommendations and reviews of the various shoes. I was also very impressed with their customer service. While I did not purchase something the day I went in, I will definitely be back in the future!

Absolutely fantastic service! The workers were extremely helpful and made me feel like their only priority when they were helping me find a pair of shoes. Would absolutely recommend going here if you want a good pair of shoes that fit you.
They also had a surprising amount of shoes in size 12.5, which I usually struggle to find.

Our favorite running store! We haven’t bought shoes yet but they helped me find the right pants for my boyfriend and ordered the size sports bra I needed and held it behind the counter for me after it arrived. I’ve also picked up a couple headbands that are great and we’re very reasonably priced.
