Excellent service. We went here for cross country running shoes for my daughter. He took the time to make sure she has something that fit correctly and was comfortable. We really appreciate him taking the time to make sure it was right. I have also shopped here previously to get trail running shoes for myself and I am happy with those as well. I would definitely shop here again.

Knowledgeable and Easy Going! We went to Heartland Soles to just get my daughter fitted for a pair of running shoes. Coach Asby listened to what we needed, let her try on 4 different pairs and talked her through which one she felt was best for her! He was kind and patient and so super helpful! Even though this go around we didnt make our purchase from there, we will definitely be back and would HIGHLY recommend Heartland Soles to anyone looking for the perfect running or walking shoe. Coach Asby took his time and never made us feel like we didnt know what what we were talking about or anything! Shop local and support this awesome store!

Great experience and knowledgeable staff. The 10 second treadmill video of myself running was very helpful. Highly recommended.

Less pretentious then Fitness Sports just as knowledgeable with a similar selection. Iowa business, so beats Fleet Feet and Scheels there. The only other store in the metro that can compete with them is Peak Performance in Ankeny(that I’m aware of).

Really nice staff, they have a running club on Monday nights that is quite nice.

Great Experience, great service.Was looking for a new pair of running shoes. Logan is very knowledgeable, and helped me select the right shoe for my running style. Will definitely be back for my next pair!Locally owned business!

We had problems with blisters from a pair of brooks running shoes we had bought at scheels and after going back decided that a non running employee at a box store should not be the one to tell us what is a good shoe. (They tried to sell us a smaller shoe because they didn’t have our size) We then googled running shoes and found Heartland Soles in Johnston. Late on a Saturday we found the owner to be 100% helpful and informative about what type and size of show we needed. I don’t think we will buy another pair anywhere else as supporting local business, getting a great product and service is worth far more than saving 10$ on a pair of shoes. Thank you Lindsey! Run515!

I am new to the area and this place had just what I was looking for! Friendly and knowledgeable owner that helped me navigate finding the right walking shoes for my feet. He measured, checked out my shoes, and explained the differences between the different brands. Thanks for the great customer service and making shoe shopping a breeze. I will be back !

I had a great experience here. I had won a gift card from a race where heartland soles was a sponsor (thank you for sponsoring local races!) and needed some trail shoes for an upcoming trail ultra and a trip to Yellowstone and Utah where I would be doing a lot of trail runs. They were very helpful in helping me find the right shoes, no complaints with them at all. If I need help finding new shoes I would definitely come back.

What a great addition to the Johnston community. Excellent local running store with a great selection of shoes and running accessories. Lindsey was extremely knowledgeable, professional and attentive to my running concerns. After performing a recorded treadmill running form analysis in my current shoes and explaining to me the results she recommended a number of stability shoes I may like in various sizes. And best of all she was very patient as I ran and reran again in multiple pairs of shoes on the treadmill and outside to find the perfect fitting pair! Great business.

I absolutely love this store. The staff was great and the best part is they not only know there shoes but they know and understand the sports. I have had a pair of Brooks Transcend 3s and upgraded to the Glycerin after putting many miles on my old pair. I will definitely be coming back!!!

Very detailed in their shoe picking process. They will record you running on a treadmill and pick shoes that help alleviate some problems that you may have while running (for me I needed stability.) They were extremely patient with me and brought out many different types of shoes for me to try on. It has been about a month since I purchased my new shoes and I no longer get shin splints (I use to get them all the time, especially after doing sprint work or long distance runs.) I would definitely recommend getting shoes from these amazing folks.

Visited about 2 months ago and have put about 100 miles into the shoes I bought here. I was having a lot of problems with shin splints before my visit and found out from the treadmill video that my foot strike paired with the shoes I was using were likely the cause. The staff brought out 7 pairs of shoes for me to try on, walk around in and compare to each other, and ultimately picked a pair out. Haven’t had any problems since. Prices are also set at MSRP, so you likely won’t find a better price along with the running form analysis. Great store and people and a better running shoe selection than you’ll find at a regular department store. 5 stars for sure!

This place is FANTASTIC! When I came in one evening, the staff (an older gentleman) was very kind, friendly, helpful, and patient while I tried on multiple pairs of running shoes. 10/10 would recommend. I know Ill always come here whenever I need new running shoes!!

Staff was very helpful and knowledge. Good selection of shoes too!

The Track Guy Foundation is beyond blessed to have Heartland Soles as a partner and supporter of our mission to help and encourage Iowa Youth get involved in T&F and XC.

Loved my whole experience! Very knowledgeable staff and friendly environment. I felt like I was valued and heard when I described what I wanted. Highly recommend Heartland Soles!!

Fantastic store and customer service! They have always done a great job of helping us find the perfect pair of shoes. They take their time with each customer and make sure you have the right fit. Greatly appreciate that they let you bring them back if you try them and end up not liking them.

My wife and I dropped by Heartland Soles during their grand opening yesterday (July 1st). Very impressed with the personal care and concern of the owners. They listened to my wifes concerns, problems and desires in a walking shoe. With that concern, their products and their recommendation; she selected a pair of shoes that are the most comfortable and fitting she has ever purchased. Jordan and Lindseys record, running experience and the time they take to analyze your walk and run on the treadmill was impressive. I would highly recommend that you check out their new store.

I was very pleased with my experience at heartland soles. The owners analyzed my stride by video taping me jog on their treadmill. Then after trying on several different styles and brands, they found me the perfect running shoes that complement my offset stride and now I actually feel comfort when i run. I would recommend anyone to visit heartland soles that is in need of comfortable shoes for running or for everyday use!

I went to this brand new running store in Johnston, IA and was very pleased with the owners, selection, service, and atmosphere. The owners are very knowledgeable and know their facts about running, did a video of my running with my old shoes, as well as while trying on new shoes. They were able to fit me with a new shoe that offset my pronation, and felt super comfortable. They have a good selection of the top running shoes, as well as other running and fitness accessories, and they are super easy to work with. I highly recommend this running store for your running and walking needs.

Jordan, Lindsey, and the Heartland Soles staff are very knowledgeable. As a local chiropractor, its great to have a resource for my patients (and me) to be properly fitted for a running or walking shoe. They also have a great selection of apparel, recovery tools, and I love the goodr sunglasses I recently purchased. For your running needs - check them out and support small business!

Actually made a house call to us during the retail closure during march. Great customer service!

The owners were very friendly, and also very knowledgeable. They analyzed my stride and used that information to pick out a few different shoes for me to try on. They were very helpful to answer any questions I had, and werent pushy at all. The shoes they helped me find work great for me! If you live in the Des Moines area and are looking for anything running, I would go here first.

If you are looking for a great, supportive shoe, this is the place to come! They do custom gait analysis (the right way) so you know that you are getting the perfect fit. They also carry a wide variety of running and walking accessories including orthotic inserts. This is a great addition to the Johnston and surrounding communities!

Great place to find running shoes for your feet type.

Such a great place!! The people are so helpful and very nice! They helped me find the perfect shoe at a great price! Highly recommend!!

The owners at the new running store in Johnston, IA were very welcoming and helpful with fitting me in running shoes. They had a good variety of shoes for me to try on. The personal attention was very much appreciated. I highly recommend this running and walking store.

Finally someone who has the technology and takes the time to help me understand my legs and feet and select a shoe perfectly suited for me! Personal focused help and lots of options to best determine my perfect shoe.

Wow outstanding service and knowledgeable staff. Best shoe buying experience I have had in a long time. Thanks

Great service!

Great customer service and great products for a great price! I love the one on one interaction and recommendations for finding a product that fits and works for me uniquely.

Small local store that really knows their stuff. Just bought a pair of shoes there for the first time. Ill definitely be back and sending those I know here as well!

I started a new job where I walk over 4 times as much in a single shift, so my feet were killing me. I went into Heartland Soles to get some nice working shoes. The staff was extremely knowledgable and so helpful. They helped me find the exact shoes I needed and my feet have never felt better.I highly recommend here for new shoes.

Had a wonderful experience shopping at Heartland Soles today! Lindsay was friendly, helpful, and considerate. The shop pet, Ellie, was also friendly! Will definitely be doing business there again!

Many reasons to shop here! Knowledgeable, very helpful and super friendly! Invest in your local stores and not the big box stores. Guarantee you wont get better service than you do here!

I found my perfect shoes in under 20 minutes with the Heartland Soles system, it was fast, easy, and you get to try on lots of shoes to really find that fit youre looking for. My flat feet are very happy in my new shoes!

Excellent variety of shoes for all ages, very helpful staff, group of people that really want you to succeed in your future endeavors in walking/running, or just enjoying a new pair of shoes

I came to this store because I wanted to support a local business rather than a chain store. This place did not disappoint me and I am glad that I came here. The owner assisted me with finding the right shoe and answered any questions that I had in regards to the shoes I was buying or about running in general. If I need another pair of running shoes in the future I plan on coming back her.

Great, friendly staff who take the time to get you the right pair of shoes. And they have a great selection too!

They were very friendly and knowledgeable as to what was best for my feet to make me a better track runner.

Awesome service! She was incredibly friendly and thorough in picking out the right shoes.

Shopping local. Great prices, friendly and informative staff, and very passionate about running.

Very personalized and accurate service. Big shoe selection and very nice atmosphere.

The best running store in Iowa! Great products, great service, great events!

I came here to buy a pair of gym shoes to help with sesamoiditis. Lindsey helped me find pairs that fit me. I have bought 2 gym shoes and a pair of recovery slides here and wear them every day. I always reccommend Heartland Soles to my friends. There is no better place to find walking and running shoes.

Exceptional service, great selection, and reasonable prices!

I was new to running, the staff and owners of this store were very helpful. Not only helping me find shoes, but races, and clothing.

Great staff, great atmosphere, great service.

Very welcoming and informative.
