Quality footwear for everyday athletes.

Wakefield Running Company is your go-to destination for high-quality, expertly-fit footwear. Find the perfect pair of Asics, Brooks, Hoka, Mizuno, New Balance, On, Oofos, Saucony, Topo or 361.

We carry a variety of running, walking, swimming, and triathlon gear for all skill levels and needs.

Just like no two brands are identical, neither are feet…

Enter the gait analysis. What’s that? It’s the way your foot moves. We’ll have you walk in your socks so we can evaluate your gait. What are we looking for?

We want to know whether you need additional support, and how much, we need to see the height of your arch, and we’ll evaluate your overall foot shape.

We are old-school, so we will even measure your feet, just like when you were a kid. Size, fit, and your unique gait all matter when finding the most comfortable shoes!

What Our Customers Are Saying…

  • “This is a terrific local athletic shop. Everyone I’ve been helped by has been super knowledgeable and nice. My brother (a runner who lives in the UK) got great advice for shoes. My PT sent me there to get professionally fitted for sneakers. And as a swimmer I got great help with a suit and several pairs of goggles - which also need expertise to fit properly. We’re lucky to have this great local business.”

    -Trudi B.

  • “Awesome running shop! My wife and I both bought shoes and the help and attention to detail for the both of us was second to none. No stone was left unturned in getting both of us into the right shoes. Will be returning to purchase shoes and cannot recommend them highly enough.”

    -Quinton W.

  • “I went into Wakefield Running Company looking for a new pair of running shoes, and no idea what I was looking for. I know nothing about running shoes :) The lady that assisted me was knowledgeable and thorough in helping me choose the right pair. Great attention to detail with COVID precautions in the store (sanitizer, signage, arrows, and distancing). Went running this morning and my new shoes were just what I needed. Thanks Wakefield Running Company!”

    -Laura G.
