Expert Running Shoe Fitting – Our Top Priority
Finding the right shoe is crucial for comfort, performance, and injury prevention. Our team of shoe experts boasts over 100 years of combined running experience. We take the time to thoroughly examine the wear pattern on your current shoes and observe your gait to ensure we recommend the ideal footwear for your unique feet and running style.
