There’s something special about having a place that just *gets* runners ☕🍻👟 Backroads Brews + Shoes is more than a stop before or after a run—it’s part of the trail running community that makes events like Phoenix Trail Races possible. Whether you're heading out for a long run, stopping in for a coffee, or attending a special event - it’s a space built around connection, movement, and showing up. We’re grateful to be connected to it 💛 and we're so excited for them as they expand their community to KW!

Kitchener 👀 we’re coming in hot. Our pre-opening social runs start next week and we’re kicking things off strong💥
👟 HOKA demo run
⚡️ full lineup of samples
🥤 Free non-alcoholic après run drinks (including some faves)

📍 5 Wellington Street South
Lace up, bring your crew, and come see what we’re all about.
Will we see you there?

If you're looking to upgrade your winter running gear this holiday season, look no further than BackRoads Brews + Shoes! 👟

It may be wintery out there, but that’s no reason to stay indoors this season - just choose the right gear to combat the conditions! We’re stocked on a selection of weatherproof footwear, engineered for safety, performance, and peace of mind when you’re braving the elements.

Waterproof and weatherproof materials keep moisture out, while high-traction outsoles provide reliable grip on snow-dusted roads, wet sidewalks, and slick surfaces. The result? More control, more comfort, and a safer outdoor adventure, no matter what the forecast says ❄️
