It all started with a simple idea: what if shoes could do more? Not just protect your feet, but actually make every step feel lighter, every run more effortless, and every adventure a little more exciting. That’s the thought that kept us up at night—and honestly, it still does.
Back in 2018, our founder, Alex, was training for his first marathon. He’d tried countless pairs, but none felt quite right. Too heavy, too stiff, or just plain uncomfortable. Frustrated, he decided to take matters into his own hands. With a background in design and a passion for the outdoors, he sketched his dream shoe—something lightweight, breathable, and built for real life. A few prototypes later, and the first version of what would become RunSpree was born.
We’re not just another footwear brand. We’re a team of runners, hikers, and everyday explorers who believe the right pair can change everything. Whether you’re hitting the trails or just running errands, your shoes should work with you, not against you.
Let’s be real: the world doesn’t need more mediocre shoes. It needs footwear that’s thoughtfully designed, rigorously tested, and made to last. That’s why we obsess over every detail—from the stitching to the soles—because we know the little things add up.
Here’s what drives us:
And hey, we’re not perfect. We’ve had our share of failed prototypes (trust us, some were downright hilarious). But every misstep taught us something—like how a slightly wider toe box can make all the difference, or why certain fabrics just won’t quit.
Ever slipped on a pair of shoes and thought, “Wow, these just get me”? That’s the feeling we’re chasing. Because footwear shouldn’t be an afterthought—it’s the foundation of how you move through the world.
We’re here for the early-morning runners who lace up before sunrise. For the travelers who pack one versatile pair for an entire trip. For the parents who need something that keeps up with their kids. Because life doesn’t pause, and neither should your shoes.
One of our favorite customer stories? A woman wrote to us about how our sneakers got her through postpartum recovery—when even walking felt like a challenge. That’s the kind of impact we live for.
We don’t just follow trends—we listen. To your feedback, to the ache in your feet after a long day, to the way you describe your “perfect pair.” That’s how we’ve grown from a single running shoe to a collection that adapts to your life.
Some brands chase flashy gimmicks. We focus on what actually works: breathable materials that keep you cool, soles that absorb shock without weighing you down, and designs that transition seamlessly from trail to street. Because let’s face it—your day doesn’t fit into neat categories, and neither should your footwear.
So whether you’re sprinting, strolling, or just standing in line, we’ve got you covered. After all, the best shoes aren’t the ones you notice—they’re the ones that let you forget about your feet and just go.
Thanks for walking (or running) this path with us. We can’t wait to see where you’ll go next.
