SHOP ABOUT PRODUCTS & SERVICES RACES & EVENTS COMMUNITY BLOG CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE & FAQ Customer service is at the core of our company’s business model. The hallmark of our customer service is a custom fitting process for shoe selection. We are the only store in northeast Indiana or northwest Ohio that offers this level of service for customers. We continually receive accolades from our customers and vendors regarding our service, communication, and relationship development. These are not outside relationships for us; we believe that each and every customer, vendor, or external contact we foster makes our business what it is today. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. Do I need an appointment for a gait analysis? A. No, you do not need an appointment. We offer our one-on-one shoe fitting on a first-come first-serve basis. All of our staff members are trained in our gait analysis and shoe fitting process and we are available to help you find your perfect shoe any time during our normal business hours! Q. Do you charge for the gait analysis? A. We do not charge for our gait analysis process, but we do reserve the process for customers who are looking to purchase shoes that day. We offer our gait analysis and shoe fitting process to every new customer. Q: How long does a gait analysis take? A: Anywhere from 10-45 minutes depending on a number of factors. For that reason we ask that if you’d like to take part in the entire fitting process that you arrive at least 30 minutes before we close. This will ensure you receive the best possible experience! Q. Do I need to be a runner to purchase shoes from you? A. Nope! Our shoes work for a myriad of purposes and issues. We are happy to help you find the perfect shoes for running, walking, work, standing for long periods of time, and much more! Q: Do you carry walking shoes? A: All of our shoes can be used for walking or running. The main distinction between walking and running shoes is that walking shoes have a leather upper (the top part). For most people this is somewhat impractical as they can become quite hot and are troublesome to air out after they get wet. So in short: Yes. Q: What’s the difference between your shoes and the shoes at a department store? A: Materials, research, quality….. Pretty much everything but the logo. With running and walking shoes, you get what you pay for. Our shoes are made specifically for high impact and long term wear so they will be more supportive, comfortable, and last you longer than a generic shoe from a department store. Q: What’s the best brand of shoe? A: There isn’t one. What feels good on one person’s feet might feel awful on someone else’s and vice versa. The best way to figure out which one is best for you is to get a gait analysis and try some on! Q: Do you have sales? A: We have an ongoing sale section of recently updated shoes. It’s pretty hit or miss but you can find some great deals! 1. STANDARD RETURN POLICY All returns must be accompanied by the original sales receipt.

GIFT CARDS Three Rivers Running Company offers custom 3RRC gift cards in any denomination.

If you are unable to make it into the store, we can easily mail you a gift card – just contact us. You can also buy gift cards in our online store. 4. FREQUENT BUYER PROGRAM What is 3RRC’s Frequent Buyer Program? 3RRC’s Frequent Buyer Program (FBP) is a rewards program in which customers and their immediate family members earn discounts for every purchase they make. There are no minimum purchases to make and your rewards never expire. How does the FBP work? For every $500 spent in the store, a customer earns a $25 reward that can be used on any item. That’s equal to 5% off every purchase made. We just gather a few bits of information to enter you in the program and you start earning rewards right away. After you hit the $500 mark and redeem your $25 reward, everything starts over and you can earn rewards again and again. Don’t worry, you won’t have to carry around a membership card. We store everything for you; so if you give us your name, we can look you up! Does the FBP cost to join? There is no cost to join. When you make your first purchase at our store, we ask for a few pieces of information (name, phone, and email) that automatically enroll you in the program. Are there any other benefits to the FBP? Yes, the plan allows 3RRC to better serve you by easily reviewing your past purchases to make the best possible recommendation on your next purchase. This is especially helpful for those of us who don’t remember the brand or size we normally wear; we store that information too. Finally, the FBP makes purchasing gifts a breeze. Buying a gift for the runner in the family is easy because we know exactly what they prefer based on past selections. 5. SPECIAL ORDERS We are able to order some items that are out of stock from our regular inventory. We normally place our fill-in and special orders every Monday morning, so please let us know prior to Monday if you’d like us to order an item for you. Once we place the order, the items will typically arrive within 5-7 business days (delivery times vary based on weather, availability, shipping location, etc…). If you’d like us to order an item we do not typically stock, we may require prepayment prior to placing the order. Depending on the time of year, certain items that we have in the store (mainly apparel) may not be available for special order; apparel items are usually seasonal and the initial shipment is all we receive for that given season. In certain situations, we may not be able to order an item that you find on a particular vendor website or in an ad. We will do our best to find the item, but some colors, styles, and designs are unavailable to us. Please let us know if you have any questions about ordering our products! Our online store does have items and colors that we may not have in stock in the store. Feel free to shop at the link and let us know if you have any questions! “In today’s world full of corporate franchises and online retail giants, it is great to see a locally owned and operated business be successful. They are amazing, always friendly and helpful. They love running and it shows. It doesn’t matter if the customer is a beginner or a state champion.” ROBIN DOMBROWSKI #IAm3RRC SHARE YOUR STORY    Three Rivers Running Company 4039 N Clinton Street Fort Wayne, IN 46805 View on Google Maps  260.496.8000  Mon-Fri: 10a - 8p Sat: 10a - 6p Sun: 12p - 5p OUR NEWSLETTER SIGN UP © 2021 THREE RIVERS RUNNING COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE & FAQ PRIVACY POLICY
