Yelp.com Review - by Salemiz S.

5.0 of 5 stars. I lo lo love this place. Just recently wrote a review about Top-to-Top in SM. Top-to-top was sooooo dissappointing. They ignored me while other customers came and went. Perhaps because I don't...

5.0 of 5 stars. This is the only place I will get my running shoes. At this place they will ACTUALLY get a shoe that fits your foot, not just something generic. They even take you outside to watch you run to make...

5.0 of 5 stars. It is said that Phidippides, the Athenian messenger once ran 150 miles in two days, then turned around and ran another 26 miles. Most likely barefoot or in less than adequate footwear by today's...

1.0 of 5 stars. FORGET the positive reviews. The salespeople might be runners, but they have no idea what they're talking about. Prices are too expensive.Go anywhere else!

Worst Customer Service

I trained for the Los Angeles Marathon with the LA Roadrunners. The 'talk' was that Phidippides was one of the best shoe stores for running shoes because runners work there and help you pick your shoes. I went...

Yelp.com Review - by Katie T.

5.0 of 5 stars. It's crowded. It's small. Why five stars, you might ask? Because it's also one of the best places in L.A. to get running shoes. The reason it's crowded is because you take a number and actually wait...
