Where to buy running shoes in Singapore: 12 stores worth the trip (2026)

The right Singapore running store depends on what you need: a free treadmill gait check, a carbon-plated racer in your width, or a S$60 first pair that does not require a finance degree. Orchard has the mono-brand flagships. Queensway has the discount hunt. Kallang has Decathlon's Singapore Lab. None of them is "best" in the abstract: each wins for a different runner and budget.

This is a directory guide, not a scored review. Prices are indicative SGD as of June 2026; confirm live stock and promos before you travel. For which shoe to buy once you are in-store, see our KIPRUN Singapore guide and how to choose running shoes.

Specialty multi-brand stores

Running Lab: Marina Square, Velocity @ Novena, Takashimaya Sports Central, Bugis Junction, IMM. The straightforward performance specialist: ASICS, Brooks, HOKA, New Balance, On, Saucony and more at full-price positioning. Free treadmill gait analysis at Novena Square and Marina Square only (roughly 5–10 minutes of analysis plus fitting time). If you want evidence-aligned fitting without paying for a stability lecture, start here: our shoe-choice guide still says comfort beats pronation prescription.

iRun: 313@Somerset flagship, Queensway #01-04, Peninsula Shopping Centre. One of the broadest brand walls in Singapore: Nike, adidas, ASICS, New Balance, On, Puma, Saucony, HOKA, Altra. The Queensway unit skews discount-friendly versus Orchard. Third-party guides report treadmill testing and 3D foot scan at the Somerset flagship: confirm in-store before you rely on it.

Key Power Sports: Paragon, Velocity, Parkway Parade, Kallang Wave Mall, Changi City Point. Running, triathlon and recovery under one roof (HOKA, Brooks, 2XU, Altra). Community try-runs and brand nights at Kallang Wave are useful if you want to test shoes on a short jog before you buy. No published free gait lab: fit advice is conversational.

Red Dot Running Company: 108 Sims Avenue, Geylang. Niche endurance specialist: HOKA, Xero, Vivobarefoot, trail and ultra accessories. Not where you go for a Pegasus or Novablast, where you go when MacRitchie is your training ground.

Island Run Club: Great World and i12 Katong. Newer multi-brand performance shop (roughly 2024) with On, HOKA, New Balance and Altra. Useful if you live east or central and want specialist curation without Orchard parking.

Brand mono-stores (2024–2026 openings matter)

HOKA Brand Store: ION Orchard (May 2024). Full HOKA range plus SafeSize 3D foot scan for fit recommendations. Clifton, Bondi, Mach, Speedgoat: all under one roof.

On Flagship: Jewel Changi Airport (July 2025). First Southeast Asia On flagship (~9,300 sq ft). Home base for On Run Club Singapore group runs and clinics. If you are an On loyalist, this beats hunting limited stockist colourways.

ASICS Singapore: gait hub at Suntec City. Video gait analysis and optional 3D foot mapping (~15 minutes). Costs a S$20 voucher redeemable on purchase: essentially paid unless you were buying anyway. Plaza Singapura, Bugis Junction, NEX and other malls carry standard ASICS retail.

Nike Orchard Road: 268 Orchard Rd; 28,000 sq ft, largest Nike mono-brand in Asia outside China. Pegasus, Vomero, Structure, Vaporfly, Alphafly. Nike By You customisation on the third floor.

adidas Brand Centre: 270 Orchard Rd (#HOMEGROUNDSG). Full Performance range including Adizero Evo SL (~S$209) and Adios Pro 4 (~S$339). MakerLab customisation on-site.

New Balance: nine Singapore stores including Paragon, ION, Jewel, IMM outlet. Fresh Foam, FuelCell, 1080, Made in UK premium lines.

Budget and value: Decathlon + Queensway

Decathlon Singapore Lab (Kallang): 230 Stadium Boulevard. Experience Store with full range plus KIPRUN wear-test zones. Fifteen outlets islandwide; six Experience Stores stock the deep range. For S$59.90–199.90 KIPRUN performance shoes, this is the anchor: see our full KIPRUN guide.

Queensway Shopping Centre: the "sports mall" at 1 Queensway. Start at iRun #01-04 for a true running specialist; Athletes' Domain, Sports 'n' More, Fuze and N-Zone for general discount footwear. Caveat: verify model year and authenticity; the discount is real, the grey-market risk is too.

Gait analysis: what you actually get

The most evidence-backed way to choose a running shoe is to pick the pair that feels best on your foot during your normal running, not the pair a treadmill video prescribes for pronation.The Catalyst Feed shoe-choice guide

Use gait analysis as fit triage, not gospel. If two neutral shoes both fit and one feels better on a short jog, that is your shoe.

What opened (and closed) recently

Opened: On Jewel (July 2025), HOKA ION (May 2024), Island Run Club (~2024), Running Lab Bugis Junction. Shrinking: Royal Sporting House reported down to six stores with further closures per business press: verify before visiting. Not a Singapore shop: "SBR Sport" confuses search results; no operating SBR running retailer exists here.
