Friendly, Competent, Attentive Staff – I've spent a long time in one form of the service industry or another and lately I've become more and more aware of the distinct LACK of service I get in most retail environments. I've noticed that many salespeople either dont know what they're doing or dont want to help and I'm happy to say that my experience at Jack Rabbit couldnt have been more to the contrary! I was greeted promptly and politely, asked what I was looking for and directed to Nina, a sales associate who politely and e... read more

CHEATED THREE TIMES – I would NEVER step foot in this store again. I have shopped there thrice for the perceived benefit of getting expert opinion and the right shoes. And with uncharacteristic consistency have been let down each of the three times. I ended up paying 2x the price these shoes were available for online or at other retail outlets. Was given disingenuous and conflicting "advice" just so they could sell their shoes that are non-refundable. This is one of the biggest scam stores that innocent customers are falling... read more

Wasn't great for me – I don't know if I just didn't look athletic enough or enough like a runner to be taken seriously, but I did not receive the "awesome" service that JR prides itself on. I went in with all the expectations created by the great commercials, but came up short. My rep could barely explain the difference between the sneakers besides stating that they have thicker soles. I'm no sneaker tech, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. I asked him if he could look at my feet and tell what my "pronation" was as I... read more

Best Place for Running Shoes, Great Customer Service – For a first timer getting "real" running shoes-this was the place to go. First my "Shoe Expert" poked fun at my old sneakers (all in good fun)I had been using-he figured out I bought them because they were "pretty "and did the trick at the time.Now that I'm running Half Marathon's I can't go on "pretty". He evaluated my stride/pronation on the video taped treadmill ( went in after work in normal day clothes-laced up some sneakers and rolled up my pants for the evaluation... read more

a relaxed, knowledgable expperience – This shop has a good selection of gear for running, swimming and biking, and even have a few in sizes that fit someone shaped like a barrel (me). The selection of wide shoes is not overwhelming, but easily comparible to an online distributor and much better than most other shops in the city. Best of all the staff is cordial, and interested in you and you goals, not just pushing products out the door. fitting for a pair of running shoes took 20 minutes: 19 to make sure I was getting shoes... read more

Great Sneakers – I have been getting foot pain from my old sneakers and one of my co-workers recommended Jack Rabbit. The sales staff was nice (and attractive added bonus) and really sat down with me to help me find a good pair of new running sneakers. I bought a great pair that day that i am really happy with! The only thing that i wish that they had more of was other types of work out clothes, not just running and spandex! But all in all great sneakers and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who works out a lot.

The only store you need to know about in NYC for running, swimming and biking clothing – This is a store for people who are physically active and demand high performance from their sports clothing. I shop at the Brooklyn location, near my home, and I can not say enough good things about the staff (friendly, smart, knowledgeable and experienced with the gear), the selection (all of it is high quality and at a fair price) and the prices (I bought a pair of shoes there and now I get 10% off everything, for ever). Great website ... read more

Very Positive Experience – I had a great experience today at your store. Came in to purchase a pair of running shoe being a complete newbie to running. Your employee Patrick offered me outstanding assistance including diagnosing my running bias on the treadmill, and offered me a selection of shoes. He took the time to explain things to me, and made process of purchasing my first running shoes easy. Thanks for all your help -- I will definitely be back!
