Brooks Running - Venice Pop-Up reviews
16Never ran before, so I walked in with no knowledge of how a running shoe should fit. Mr. Juan was an expert in finding me a perfect fit; based on analyzing my gait and extra wide feet I was recommended the most suitable size and type. What convinced me was his sound explanation on how a shoe must fit for my running profile. Since that purchase I've been on two runs with the glycerin 20's that were fitted for me and I am really glad I started running with my pair. I recommend you go check out the brand and the team.
Garrett was super helpful and friendly! Didn’t make feel feel pressured or hurried even though I tried on a lot of shoes. He helped me find the perfect pair.
If you have large feet and are frustrated about stores not having your shoe size to try on, go here. They had multiple size 15s and wides to try on. Much appreciated.
Juan is amazing! He helped me get fitted and understand what shoe type will work best for my unique running style.
Tight 3 floors location for a fancy shoe shop. The store is well designed and easy enough to find. Parking however is a lot harder as it's in Venice Beach and there's never a good place to park in Venice.
Just walked past today and spoke with Juan. Didn’t have any intention to buy but was explaining my hate for my current running shoes. So he gave me the full fitting experience and it was amazing to see how knowledgeable he was and how the right fitting shoe was going to help realign me and take the pressure off my ankles, knees, hips and back. Easily the best customer experience I have ever had. Whatever Juan is getting paid he needs a lot more! Fantastic stuff from him.
Natasha is THE BEST. I truly have never had such a thorough sneaker buying experience. 12/10. Highly recommend
Nice Brooks experience. Enjoyed Mindful Running session with Chris. And nice conversation with Brooks staff, all super-experienced runners. Check it out.
Really enjoyed trying shoes on with Steven over at the Brooks Pop-Up. Steven's knowledge of not just Brooks' collection, but also the other brand's out there was really helpful in helping provide me with everything I needed to feel good about my shoe choice. Ended up getting a pair of Glycerin GTS to add to my quiver of shoes, and excited to see where they take me!
This pop up shop was so amazing! I was able to get a very detailed foot analysis to see my gait and get a good shoe recommendation.
The store has everything you need! From custom bra fittings for women on a separate level just for women needing a bra, to getting your gate analysis checked to see what type of shoe you need to having the best location near the beach and very bright and can be spotted with the big brooks logo and sign outside! Very welcoming atmosphere for everyone
As someone who lives in Los Angeles, I have been to the Brooks Running - Venice Pop-Up multiple times. The first time was for a shoe and bra fitting and that's when I found out there are weekly events hosted at the Pop-Up as well! Of course, I've been going back every single week, sometimes twice a week!
Before I get into the events, let me just say that the space is incredible. There are three levels; the first of which has a variety of clothes/apparel and Brooks shoes. This is also where the shoe fitting takes place. The second story is where the bra fitting takes place, there's also a great seating area that I really just want to sit at all day and hang out. The third level is full of magic and you'll just have to experience it for yourself.
Oh, and let me touch on the service. It's great! Of note, Steven, Natasha, and Juan have helped me on more than one occasion and greet me when I come into the store for events. They're so friendly and welcoming!
Ok - the events. There is a weekly Brooks Run Club that meets on Tuesday evenings at 6pm and run around three miles or so. It's a great route created and led by Brad and Magena who are here in Los Angeles from Brooks HQ in Seattle! There's more magic that takes place after the Run Club that you'll again have to experience for yourself. There are also some events on Saturdays/Sundays including breathwork, yoga, jump-roping with a Grand World Champion jump-roper, some conversations with amazing advocates, and even some runs hosted by Brooks Run Happy Team ambassadors. Get to Google "Brooks Venice Pop-Up, " check the event schedule, and sign up today!
Truly, the only bad part about the Brooks Running - Venice Pop-Up is that it is only going to be on Abbott Kinney until the end of October 2023. So, do yourself a favor and get yourself over to Brooks today!
Loved my experience at the pop-up! The space is so welcoming and you can get properly fitted for a run bra and shoes by knowledgeable people! So fun!
Being a Brooks ambassador, I was just in town for Brooks Hypefest, and we stopped by the pop-up for a tour. It was a great atmosphere in a super cool location. It's Deffinitly worth checking out. They had lots of gear to try on and purchase.
Great location and space. Open and inviting, great staff, and good selection. The top floor is a great spot to relax and shop. Highly recommend.
This store is great! My first time in an all Brooks apparel store and the experience was above average. The staff was very knowledgeable of the product which led to great recommendations. I was able to do an in depth fitting including a treadmill run and foot analysis. And the overall aesthetic of the store was really cool. Highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area!
It is my humble opinion that Brooks shoes are the best running shoes. I visited the Brooks Pop-Up store while attending a special event for the Brooks Run Club. I got excited when I saw so many varieties of Brooks shoes. I am an average runner and want to improve my running speed and distance. I was explained which shoe would propel me to become a better runner. I used the treadmill to try on different shoes. It was fun trying out different shoes on a treadmill. I am planning to bring a friend who is also a runner next week. I will be back!
