Distance Runwear

If you’re serious about your running go here or the North Van store. Super friendly and knowledgable staff, and a great selection of gear. Exceptional advice based on the team’s own experiences of trying every piece of kit so you can make an informed purchase. Retail of this calibre is why you should never go to a conventional running store where you’re sold the latest overpriced shoe that does nothing but cause injuries.

I had a great experience here. Excellent customer service. The salesperson and the manager I spoke with were both very knowledgeable and helped me make a very well-informed decision. Prices were reasonable as well. I received some great advice. A very stark contrast to my last visit to a Running Room.

Owner is extremely knowledgeable, non-biased and completely honest with experienced opinions. You can obviously tell he’s an avid barefoot runner and knows his stuff. The store boasts a wide range of different brand and styles. I like how a large majority of the brands on sale all have strong ethics on sustainability and minimalism, whilst offering a long-term and sturdy product. Prices are also competitive and definitely worth going in store, rather than using an untrusted online purchase. Support your local businesses! Purchased two pairs of Shamma barefoot sandals for my wife and I, and one of the best decisions I’ve made in a while for my health and well-being.

Best place to get minimalist shoes in the city. I hope their selection continues to grow.

Best place for gear and advice for trail and road running! Dave is awesome!
