Rapid Transit Sports - State College, Pennsylvania

Stopped in this morning to buy new sneakers. Friendliest staff in state college. Very helpful and knowledgeable. I had shopped here in the past, but it was a long time ago. Highly recommend them for their quality line of products and more importantly their customer service. The staff actually put the shoes on you and lace them up for you. If you go anywhere else they throw the box at you and don’t talk to you. It’s no wonder that Rapid transit stays in business in a world owned by amazon. Customer service trumps all!

This is a really great place to get your next pair of shoes!

Their customer service is top-notch, as they will put the shoes on you and lace it up for you (the first time I went, it surprised me). The staff are friendly and eager to help, as well as knowledgable. The staff member who helped me correctly guessed the age of my shoes based on the wear-and-tear and the model (he knew the model at a glance).

Additionally, they give great discounts. I've gotten a few Hoka's from here. They will also dispose of your old shoes (they have the channels to donate lightly used shoes and to properly dispose of old shoes). They also informed me they donate any of their old stock to local homeless shelters.

10 out of 10, would recommend!

My first time getting fitted for shoes, I was a little nervous but they are very professional and knowledgeable. He knew exactly the type of support I needed in my shoes and helped me choose the right one. I highly recommend Rapid Transit and will definitely be a repeat customer!

Best shoe shopping experience I've had probably ever. Terry helped me find out what type of shoe I needed for my feet, explaining things along the way. When it came time to try shoes on he gave me options (first he went through the type of cushioning with 3 different shoes and then based on my choice he found another option in my size that had similar amount of cushion). As someone who didn't know what type of support and arch I had, this experience was eye-opening and amazing. Will definitely be going here in the future to get more shoes when I need them.

I had the best experience at Rapid Transit. As soon as I walked in, I felt like a person and like I wasn't being a bother to anyone. Terry, the gentlemen, who waited on me took the time to get to know me and all about my running. Answered all my questions and is very knowledgeable. He had sound advice and I totally trust his judgement. Thanked me multiple times for coming in. It was an hour drive but well worth it. I will be back. Awesome job guys! Your store is a gem.

I bought my first pair of Hokas yesterday. The entire experience was 5 star. Brett was able to assist me the entire process. I have never been properly fitted for shoes and even wearing the wrong size for years! After a recent achilles tendon surgery, one of my goals is to have proper footwear in my nursing career and I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else! Thank you for such an amazing experience!

I didn’t even realize they sold gym shoes. I thought it was another PSU merch shop. But they were amazingly helpful in finding me new shoes and giving me a great fitting. Very knowledgeable! I’m glad I went to this local shop with personalized service versus buying online. Thanks Jay!

They took such good care of me and helped me get two pairs of shoes for both work and the gym. You're gonna spend $ but it's good quality. The gentleman took almost an hour helping me find the perfect pairs
