WOW! I never knew how much I didn't know about feet and shoes. I went in because they carried a brand I wanted and the next thing I knew, they were doing a full fitting. I had never been through this before. I found out tons of information about how I walk and the pressure points on my foot. The biggest thing I found out though was I was wearing shoes that were not a correct fit for me. I had to wait a few minutes for them to get to me, but was it ever worth the wait. They spend a great deal of time with each customer to get the EXACT shoes the person wants and needs. Fantastic Experience.

What a great experience. We did a corporate get together there for everyone to be fitted for new shoes and they knocked it out of the park. Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, what more can you ask for? Ill for sure be back.

Shari was great to work with! I sure can tell a difference on my morning walks by wearing the correct walking shoe with an insert!

Great experience here. I had gone to another running store in the area and received terrible customer service so I left. I'm not your typical runner at 6'2" 230 lbs and got judged hard at the previous place I had gone to.
Robby helped me out and was very helpful. I was looking at a particular model of shoe I had used in the past but they didn't have the exact one I was looking for. I tried another pair comparable and really liked them so decided on those. Super easy experience and great customer service from Robby! Don't go anywhere else for running shoes!

Phenomenal experience here! I am so grateful my wife and I had the opportunity to work with Kory, she was patient, informative, and fun to work with. We tried on what seemed to be 100 pairs of shoes each and at no point did we feel any pressure that we had to buy shoes. We ended up finding a few pairs each that worked out great and have resolved a lot of foot pain for myself and other discomfort my wife was having. This is a place where prices are higher, but you feel like youre getting every pennies worth! Thanks for the awesome experience!
