See Jane Run

I had a wonderful experience here! I don’t treat my feet often enough to «proper comfort shoes». Today I am so happy I did so here. I was greeted and helped by 3 lovely ladies who had my best interests in mind. There were a lot of choices to consider, what would be best for my needs.
Finally Anh who has so much first hand knowledge of real foot care, took her time with me, took a look at my bare feet, measurements and helped me to find the perfect for me pair! :)
I learned a lot too. I love my new Asics. And
I will be back for another pair as soon as possible. Of course I had to get some new cool socks to go with. & beautiful sports bra as well .
Great Selection of Everything here.

We had a marvelous experience here this morning with Anh who helped me find great shoes — and some great running apparel, as well! Felt like shopping at a high end boutique and good selection. Socks on sale! Big sale rack! We will be back!

Amazing service and shoes!
My feed had been hurting, so I went in for a new pair of shoes. Lori, the owner, spent some time listening to my needs and made suggestions for the type (s) of shoes I should be wearing. I tried on a bunch of shoes and ended up special ordering a pair in wide width since they didn’t carry that width in the store.
Within a week my shoes were in, and they called to ask if I wanted them mailed or delivered via Über. I chose Über, and within 15 minutes, the shoes were at my front door! What wonderful customer service. See Jane Run really went above and beyond my expectations, and I can’t recommend them enough!

Unfortunately have to down-​grade the review after 2 years because See Jane Run no longer carries entire categories of running shoes. Besides eliminating Vibram (which they discontinued in 2014 I believe), they now have stopped carrying ANY sort of minimalist footwear at all. The salespeople are even less experienced than before and offer what I consider baseless advice.
This store would go back to 5-​stars if they either became a real running store again, or re-​named themselves to something like «See Jane Shuffle.»
It’s a great spot for all the «Stroller Valley» moms who want stretchy clothes while they have their babies, and a convenient place to buy shoes to go to the park. It’s NOT a store for serious runners anymore.

The staff here are very nice and accommodating. I came in on Saturday afternoon to try on a specific pair of shoes (Hoka One One Cliftons) that I knew they had in store from the site. They let me try on multiple different pairs and seemed knowledgable about the types of runners currently using the shoe. It was v hot and late afternoon, so not my usual running time, and I wasn’t sure about the fit, so said I’d come back the next day in the morning. They weren’t pushy or trying hard to sell, and I bought a pair the next day when I had a better read on which half size was better for me.
They have a good range of clothing, shoes, and accessories. I’ll go in again for clothes and to replace gear as it wears out. Worth trying if you’re in the area!

I really wanted to love this store. It’s the closest running store to my house, and I could even see myself joining the weekly fun runs.
But I had a pretty mediocre fitting experience there. The saleswoman was not terribly articulate about the differences in shoes that I tried on. I couldn’t find something that felt right, and we collectively gave up. Bummer.

Came here for some Rock tape! Not much selection though. They only had four colors and didn’t carry Rock sauce :(

Stopped in to See Jane Run and was disappointed for the first time… I was being helped by a knowledgable young woman and a male employee all in black interrupted us in the middle of our sale. He clearly didn’t know the product I was interested in and kept pushing a more expensive pair of shoes I don’t buy, what’s up??? I was not impressed by this kind of service, she was interested in helping me and I felt odd with this controlling guy trolling the store. I don’t like the way he spoke to the employee. I like to keep my business in Noe Valley but the vibe was off for me purchase here anymore.

Brilliant store, brilliant advice. I need to run in stability shoes. Over the years I’ve wiggled around that and my feet have suffered. Went in there, they took one look at how I ran and told me you have option a or option b. Both were stability — but, I was told, if you want to find that form you’re looking for, this is the ticket. So I took them.
This is a small shop, not too many brands to choose from, but that is a good thing. You’ll find what is right for you — as one does in a good running shop. People know what they are talking about and will give excellent advice. Reminds me of Bill Rodgers running shop in Boston. Yes, he of the Boston marathon. I will definitely be going back there.

This past weekend was one of the most productive weekends I’ve had in a while. In part because I was inspired by my pal Vanessa M to become a morning time runner. Well okay, in reality, I’ve gone on a total of TWO runs *so far* in the wee San Francisco hours, but in my defense, it’s extremely difficult to extract myself from my warm, soft bed.
Also, I’ve been a little held back by the daunting thought of stuffing the single, teeny tiny pocket on my running jacket with my phone, my iPod, my house keys, and my tissues (for wiping my ever-​dripping nose). «Why not just consolidate, Crys?» you may be wondering. Well because my iPod is too old to download the Nike Running App so I had to put it on my phone, and I don’t understand technology enough to add music to my POS «Smart“phone.
And so we arrive at See Jane Run. Vanessa M told me about how much she loves feeling free while running, and so she invested in a small fanny pack from See Jane Run to stash her stuff, to which I scoffed, «I am not a hipster or a mom, so I shall never purchase such an atricious accessory!» But then I saw what she was talking about and realized that a tiny «runner’s utility pack» (as I prefer to call it) may just be the solution to part of my excuse for weasling out of running.
I popped in to See Jane Run after a lovely breakfast with my roommie and our good friend KK at Red’s Café and was greeted by a lovely lady working there. She listened to what I needed, explained and demonstrated with each runner’s utility pack, and helped me choose the one that works for me. I tested putting my phone, keys, and iPod in it and jumped around a little to check bounceage. I chose a thin pack ($ 23.99) that stretches a bit to hold my things and adjusts to fit tightly around my waist, so I can avoid looking like a total dork with a giant honker of a fanny pack bouncing all around while I’m frolicking aroung the urban track (I’m so vain!).
The store is clean and has a lot of activewear items to offer. I also got some cushiony socks that I can’t wait to try on my run tomorrow morning. Here’s hoping my bed doesn’t swallow me whole to put off exercising!

This may be too much info for Unilocal,but I’m hoping I will save some well endowed ladies a LOT of time and effort. For years, I’ve worn 2 sports bras to get so-​so support. I accepted that this was my lot in life as a big boobed girl. But after recently adding running to my life, I realized I might as well be wearing no bra. There had to be something out there for my size. So I went shopping.
First stop was Lombardi’s (because it’s close). I asked a sales person for help finding a 36E bra size, but was informed that they stocked nothing over a DD.
Next I tried Sports Basement, because I thought they might have more range than Lombardi’s. It took forever for the SB boys to find a girl salesperson to help. When she finally arrived, she found the singular bra they stock in my size. Their store also doesn’t carry much for anyone past a DD. The one bra they offered required a second person to help put on.
Finally as I was about to give up, I found See Jane Run on Unilocal.I called and Nathalie (spelled w/​an H) was awesome. I could barely get a salesperson to look at me in the other stores, nor were they as knowledgeable as Nathalie was. She fitted me and found I’m actually a 34E and offered me a range of bra styles. The price wasn’t as terrible as I expected either ($ 50−65/bra), which is about normal for all bras in my size.
While I was there I decided to grab a pair of running shoes too. Yet again Nathalie answered all my questions and fitted me in a super comfy pair of shoes. I will definitely be returning to SJR for future running needs.

The ladies that work here are awesome! Super helpful and friendly. They want to make sure that you are satisfied with your purchase, and you buy what you need.
I am not a super intense runner, so I thought that I might be intimidated shopping here. Not at all! The staff is not assuming of your athletic abilities, and they have lots of helpful tips and suggestions.
If you need sports bras or shoes, check out this store!

I’m a generous portion of woman. I ain’t mad about it. That said, I need exercise shoes that make it feel like I am stepping on a combination of baby butts, bunny rabbits and bouncy houses.
While I am not what no one would call a «runner,» I was in the market for the aforementioned super comfy walking shoes. Enter See Jane Run. The employees were ready to help.
Me: «I need walking shoes. I over-​pronate and I have a super high instep, but no problem with being flat footed.»
Awesome Employee: «Thank you for actually knowing all that about yourself.»
She brought out three pairs of shoes, I tried on three. Winner winner chicken dinner. Love my Asics. Thanks ladies!!!

For someone like me who is brand new to running, this store is perfect. After analyzing my walk, the sales person suggested some shoes for my foot type. I spent a good amount of time there, but I liked not feeling rushed and the sales person answered all my questions and gave me some good advice.
If you are looking for a specific brand/​style they may not have it as their selection is pretty slim compared to other athletic shoe stores. But since went in as a blank slate, I had not problem picking from the sales person’s suggestions. I am very happy with my purchase and will trek out here again when I need new shoes. They even gave me a discount because I mentioned I was running (ok, more like run/​walking) a half marathon in a few months. A+ customer service.

Relocating to this city that begs to be explored, best in a pair of running shoes, I found myself in search of some new kicks as my old ones had withered down to the bone.
After a bit of internet exploring, I fixed my eyes upon all of the Unilocal reviews for See Jane Run and headed down to Noe Valley to get some help. From the moment I stepped in the door, I was happy with my decision. I was greeted calmly without being harped on. Then, when I wandered to the wall of sneakers, one of the saleswomen came by to see if I needed help. I immediately let her know (in case she wanted to spend her time more ‘lucratively’) that I would probably not be purchasing but would come back after I was positive I wanted the shoes, after some more internet research. Without batting an eye, she asked me to walk for her. After explaining my walk, the anatomy of my feet and what type of shoes I really needed. She brought out four pairs and sat tight, helping others while I fastened my laces but otherwise walking me through each shoe try-​on.
Once I found my pair, she asked me to try another pair back on, just to be sure. Not rushing me or making me uncomfortable in the slightest, her amazing salesmanship made me want to buy the shoes right then and there. However, previous bad experiences buying sneakers reviewers warned about, had I bothered to read them, made me wait and put them on hold.
About a week later, I received a call from See Jane Run. I felt so bad to tell the saleswoman that my friend had bought me them for Christmas after seeing my search online (and a note with the name, size and color posted on my fridge). While I absolutely adore my new sneakers, they would have been an even better gift had my friend purchased them from See Jane Run.
The best part? The woman on the phone was overjoyed that I ended up getting the shoes, even if it wasn’t from them. This has been, by far, the best shopping experience I have ever had. I will definitely be back for all my running needs.

I love this place!!! New to the Bay Area, living close to the Embarcadero, I wanted to get back into running. Unfortunately, having put on a few pounds my old running gear didn’t even make it around the block before I knew I was going to need new equipment. I went to a few traditional running stores before I found See Jane Run and couldn’t find the gear I needed. The ladies here had me suited up in the most comfy cutting edge Brooks shoes and a sports bra that comfortably holds my DD ladies in place (while actually making them look good :) Great staff, great products, knowledgeable about what women runners need and stock product accordingly. Best place to go for women runners in SF!!!

A bit pricey, but a great store — lots of variety for all your running needs.

I ordered several items online and had a HORRIBLE experience. I agree with Karen A. — DO NOT ORDER ONLINE! –
One of my products was out of stock, which I found out 3 days after I placed my order. I waited what seemed like forever for my package, and when I received it only half of the products were in there! To make it worse, NOTHING fit true to size even though I followed the size charts on the website. The return form was atrocious and the customer has to pay the return shipping fee!
So then I spent two or three weeks wondering where the rest of my order was (there was no mention of it in the first package) and then received it at the wrong address! I just happened to be visiting my parents in WISCONSIN when it was received at their house rather than the shipping address I had provided in INDIANA! I was shocked — how unprofessional!
Because I already knew I was going to have to return a product from the second package (I had already received an identical product in the first package that did not fit at all), I was not looking forward to paying ANOTHER RETURN SHIPPING FEE not covered by the company.
I will NEVER order from See Jane Run again!

DO NOT ORDER ONLINE!
I placed an order on their website and paid with Paypal (their e-​commerce ordering process was a little weak and I was concerned about credit card security). The two items I ordered were expected to ship immediately and I was anticipating their receipt. After five days, I FINALLY received an e-​mail that neither product was available so they would cancel my order. They did offer a 25% discount, but only on full-​priced items! I am very, very disappointed with this company. Maybe they’re fine to deal with in person, but if they can’t even manage a website properly, I’d be skeptical.

I’ve been running for the last few years, after taking a while off. My girlfriend saw how happy I was after my runs and how much more energy I seemed to have and decided she wanted to start running with me. Anyone who has been running a while knows this could have been the start of a horror film, rather than a romantic comedy…
To give us the best chance of a rom-​com, I knew we would have to start with the right equipment. Going running in sweatpants and a cotton t-​shirt is a sure recipe for an apocalyptic zombie attack. Oh, and did I mention my girlfriend has boobs? Yeah, so this challenge was truly daunting…
Enter Jane, and the wonderful peeps at See Jane Run.
Our visit took well over an hour, and it was better than I could have ever hoped. Lots of good advice. Incredible selection. Friendly people. Sizes to fit people who weren’t born in Kenya. My girlfriend felt incredibly welcomed, and the sales staff took plenty of time to get us the stuff we needed. Bras that lock the boobies down. Clothes that fit just right. All the right accessories (and no, I’m not talking about earrings). Yes, we probably could have gotten some of these things cheaper online. But the personal service was well worth it.
The proof is in the pudding. And my girlfriend has now been running for a few weeks and saying «wow, it does feel really good to go on a run in the morning!»
Romantic Comedy here we come. I’m thinking Ryan Reynolds as the male lead. Call me and we’ll do lunch!
