About Us
grivet (griv-it) n. β a forest-dwelling African monkey, greenish-brown in color, that spends its days grooming, playing, climbing, and play fighting.
grivet (griv-it) v. β to get moving; to acknowledge your inner, wild self; to be primal.
We named our store after this little primate for a reason. You were born to move β to run, hike, climb, and play. We're here to help you do it better.
Memphis's Running & Outdoor Specialty Store
Grivet Outdoors has been serving Memphis and the Mid-South since 2015. What started as a single store in the Cooper-Young neighborhood has grown into four locations across Memphis and DeSoto County β Cooper-Young, East Memphis, Germantown, and Olive Branch β each staffed by people who run, hike, and train themselves.
We're not a big box store. We're your neighbors.
Free Foot Fitting at Every Location
The most important thing we do isn't sell shoes β it's fit them. Every Grivet Outdoors location offers free foot scanning and expert fitting. We look at your arch, your gait, your foot width, and how you move, then match you to the right shoe for your body and your goals.
Whether you're training for your first 5K, recovering from a running injury, logging miles on Shelby Farms trails, or just need something comfortable for a long day on your feet β we'll find the right shoe for you.
We also welcome medical referrals. If your podiatrist, physical therapist, or orthopedic specialist has sent you our way, we know how to work within those parameters.

We carry the best running and outdoor brands in the business β Hoka, Brooks, Altra, Saucony, On Running, New Balance, Merrell, Oboz, Patagonia, The North Face, and more.
Wide widths and extended sizing available. Men's sizes up to 15, women's up to size 11.
