I try to always shop local run stores, visit Starbucks, and Lululemon when I visit areas. The Brick did not disappoint. Great selection of running apparel and to my surprise great selection of Lululemon gear. The Brick literally had two of my favs. Customer service was top notch

Fiancé and I went in here for all-purpose shoes. They put her right on the machine, got her measurements, and had her in shoes within minutes. Phenomenal customer service and insight on each shoe she tried on. Great experience. Would recommend to anybody.

Eddie Marlow

Joanne Roberts

I'm elderly and have foot problems, so wasn't optimistic about finding comfortable supportive walking shoes. I was blessed to have Nick help me. He was patient and fitted several styles of shoes till I found the perfect pair. I'm very pleased and will be back again.

M
Moe A

They found me shoes I loved that fit me well in under 20 minutes, for a great price. Love em.

Tyler Alyssa Harrell

I came in needing new shoes with better support, but wasn't sure which brand/style fit my needs. Kayla welcomed me from the second I walked in until I purchased a pair of Hokas that she suggested. 10/10 best shoe experience I've ever had!

Danielle Feeney

Jacob was very helpful finding the best shoes for me. They are very thorough, helpful and take time to make sure you leave satisfied with your purchase.

A huge shout out to this establishment for being so friendly! We were in a pinch with flat stroller tires and they were so friendly and got us pumped up quickly!!!

Adam & Staff at The Brick are wonderful, constantly supporting our community. They have a wide variety of walking & running shoes / gear for outdoor activities or day to day life. I am on my feet 10 hrs a day and I need a stability shoe, I am very pleased with my purchases and the customer service was top notch!

Cynthia Hines

Jacob Hardy is awesome. He spent a lot of time with me to make sure that I left with the best shoes for me. It can be confusing to know which shoes to even try with so many brands to select from. I told him what I needed and he knew exactly which ones to select for me to try. I am so glad The Brick is in Danville. Thank You, Jacob!

Q
Qween Elizabeth

I went in there for shoes to support my ankles after breaking both ankles and feet a few months back. Emily was amazing! She was super kind and very helpful with finding me the right shoe for my situation, and making sure I was comfortable. I will definitely be back and spreading the word about my positive experience.

R
Rudy Hayden

I was in a pinch with air for my bike tires and I called to see if they carry air cartridges. They were friendly enough over the phone for me to want to come in and check it out. Brought my bike in and several staff were eager to help!

C
Cristian

Very friendly and awesome people, got a new pair of shoes and had a good conversation. Highly recommend.

D
Dallen McKinnis

Great store! The staff was very professional, friendly, and patient. Blake measured my feet and asked a bunch of questions about where my current shoes were causing issues in order to select a bunch of options that might fit.

J
Jacob Boyer

Wish I could give more stars! Carries a great selection of very quality products. My feet are super happy in my Mizuno Waves as I am writing this review. I always love the level of service that I get there, and I am super excited that they expanded the upstairs to include tons of bikes, gear, etc.!

The Origin Story

A Napkin, a Dream,
and a Brick Building

1

The Drive That Changed Everything

Adam Jones was tired of driving to Raleigh just to find a decent pair of running shoes. Danville deserved better. So he grabbed a napkin at Red Lobster and started sketching.

2

Opening Day — April 14th, 2012

The Brick opened its doors at 410 Main St — a historic brick building in Danville's River District. That very next Thursday, 7 people showed up for the first group run. One motto: people over profit.

3

Race Timing & “We Run the Ville”

In 2013, The Brick launched an event timing company — race directing and timing 5Ks to half marathons across Virginia. By 2015, the “We Run the Ville” movement was born: changing Danville one “sole” at a time.

14 Years and Counting

Three couples have met and married because of this store. Thursday group runs still happen every single week. Same brick building. Same mission. Still putting people first.
