Singapore's running boom, from Park Connector regulars to marathon and ultra entrants, has grown a small cluster of shops built around the sport itself. This guide rounds up specialty running shops in Singapore: stores whose staff fit shoes to foot type and gait, stock road and trail models side by side, and carry the compression wear, hydration and nutrition that distance runners use in training. It spans independent multi-brand specialists, a trail-and-ultra boutique, an athleisure-and-community concept store, and two single-brand flagships built around fitting technology and run clubs. Each was checked against its own website, official store listings or recent press coverage; treat this as a shortlist to compare, not a ranking.

1. Running Lab

Running Lab is a specialty running retailer that says it has been fitting Singapore runners since 2005, with in-store gait analysis on a treadmill at its outlets to match a shoe to a customer's foot type and running style. Its range spans road, trail and race footwear alongside running apparel and accessories, with brands on its site including HOKA, ASICS, On, Brooks, New Balance, Saucony and Salomon. The retailer runs stores at Marina Square, Novena Square and Bugis Junction, plus an outlet at IMM in Jurong East. For runners who want a fitting rather than a guess before buying, its longevity and dedicated gait-analysis setup make it one of the more established specialist options on the island.

2. Key Power Sports

Key Power Sports describes itself as a performance sporting-goods retailer founded in 2006 by runners and triathletes, and its range reflects that endurance background: running shoes sit alongside triathlon gear, studio and compression wear, hydration equipment and recovery tools. Brands it carries include HOKA, On, ASICS, New Balance, 2XU, Newton and Speedo, plus nutrition labels such as PowerBar, SaltStick and Hammer Nutrition aimed at distance training and race day. The retailer operates stores across Paragon, Velocity@Novena Square, Parkway Parade, Kallang Wave Mall and Changi City Point. Its focus on triathlon and endurance nutrition alongside footwear sets it apart from the general sports chains, and suits runners training for longer races rather than a casual jog.

3. iRUN Singapore

iRUN describes itself as one of Singapore's premier running specialty stores, operated by Sports Fashion Pte Ltd, and its pitch rests on range: footwear from Nike, adidas, ASICS, New Balance, On, Puma, Saucony, Under Armour, HOKA, Altra and Brooks sits together with apparel and accessories such as Garmin watches, KT Tape and Goodr eyewear. Its flagship sits at 313@Somerset on Orchard Road, with further stores at Queensway Shopping Centre, Peninsula Shopping Centre and Wisma Atria. The multi-brand spread makes it a practical stop for runners who want to compare several brands' shoes side by side in one visit rather than committing to a single label's range from the outset, whether shopping for a first pair or a race-day upgrade.

4. Red Dot Running Company

Red Dot Running Company positions itself as a focal point for Singapore's trail and ultra-running community, working with niche brands that the bigger chains tend not to stock. Its range includes trail and ultra footwear from Altra, HOKA and Inov-8 alongside recovery and nutrition brands such as Maurten, Tailwind Nutrition and Theragun, and it runs a Mountain Goat membership programme for regulars. The store operates from a single outlet on Sims Avenue, with self-pickup and local delivery for orders. Where the bigger specialty chains cover running broadly, Red Dot Running Company's own positioning is narrower and deeper: a shop built around technical trail and ultra-distance gear for runners already past the road-shoe stage, rather than a first-timer's one-stop shop.

5. The Pace

The Pace is a Funan boutique founded by ultrarunner Jeri Chua, reported to be the first Singaporean to qualify for the Ironman World Championship, and it pitches itself as a community hub for multi-discipline athletes rather than a straightforward shoe shop. Its curated brand list leans toward independent labels new to Singapore, including Bandit Running and District Vision apparel, norda's trail shoes and Vivobarefoot's minimalist footwear, alongside high-performance sportswear more generally. The 1,200 sq ft store opened at Funan in October 2024 and doubles as an events space for the community it is built around. Runners drawn to newer, design-led labels that the mainstream specialty chains don't carry will find The Pace's range distinct from the rest of this list.

6. HOKA

HOKA opened its first Singapore brand store at ION Orchard in May 2024, stocking the label's full range from performance road and trail running shoes to its walking and lifestyle lines in one space. Coverage at launch described a 3D foot-scanning station used to help match customers to a fit, alongside staff trained specifically on this one brand's shoe technology. As a single-brand flagship it does not offer the cross-brand comparison of the multi-label specialists on this list, but it suits runners who already favour HOKA's cushioned platform and want to see the full current range in person, including models not every multi-brand retailer stocks, backed by fitting help built around that one brand.

7. On

On's only Singapore retail store sits at Jewel Changi Airport, opened in collaboration with local retailer Gill Capital, and stocks the Swiss brand's full range from cushioned road trainers to trail models such as the Cloudultra and Cloudrock. Beyond the shelves, the store is positioned as a community hub and is home to On Run Club Singapore, with the brand describing weekly group runs, training sessions and workshops covering running form, injury prevention and recovery. That structured community programme, layered onto the shopfloor itself, sets it apart from a typical mall footwear stop. Like HOKA's flagship, it is single-brand rather than multi-label, suiting runners already committed to On, or newcomers drawn in by the club runs rather than one specific shoe.

How to choose

Ask for a gait analysis or in-store fitting rather than guessing your size from an old pair bought online; shops running their own treadmill assessment, such as Running Lab, or brand-run fitting stations, such as HOKA's scanner, can flag overpronation or a poor fit before it causes an injury.
Match the shop to your terrain. A road-focused multi-brand specialist covers most park-connector and race training, but if you're moving onto technical trails or ultra-distance events, a niche outlet such as Red Dot Running Company stocks grippier, more technical models general running shops rarely carry.
Decide whether you want to compare brands side by side or commit to one label. Multi-brand specialists let you try several makers' shoes in a single visit, while a single-brand flagship suits someone who already knows HOKA, On or another maker fits their foot and just wants the full range.
If you're training for a triathlon or marathon rather than running casually, look at retailers stocking compression wear, hydration and sports nutrition alongside shoes, since an endurance-focused shop is more likely to carry the specific race-day nutrition and recovery brands you already rely on than a general sports megastore would.
Weigh community and support alongside the sale itself. A shop running a structured club, regular training sessions or a membership programme can matter more long-term than the initial purchase, especially for newer runners who benefit from group accountability, pacing advice and encouragement beyond a single fitting session.
