This is a store that caters to runners and their athletic shoe needs... not the usual place I would…read morebe seen shopping, but my sibkid needed some good fitting, supportive, ergonomic shoes for their cosmetology program so this was a recommended store to check out. The store is located in a relatively small storefront on J St., but the interior is spacious and with soaring ceilings, so soaring in fact that I did have to put in some earplugs at one point because there were so many people talking at pretty high decibels. It was like being a restaurant. We went on the MLK weekend and the store was packed with shoppers, many of whom seemed to be repeat customers. The focus of the store is getting the proper fit for the activity, and then aligning that with a particular style and brand/model of shoe that would theoretically work best. They are focused on selective and particular brands, such as Brooks and Hoka. The shoes are pricey (average price $200 for the Hokas) and they weren't advertising any sales, nor clearly pricing the shoes. In fact, the shoe browsing that you experience in a typical store- looking at and picking up shoes doesn't see to be encouraged here. Instead you're greeted by an associate immediately upon entering who is your "guide." They can help you with testing for sizing and gait, and they bring shoes for you to try, while helping you try on the shoes. It's definitely a full service shoe store. The foot testing on a walking/gait testing pad and a low platform was done for my sibkid by Alyzza, whom proved to be a knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant shoe saleswoman. The results led to several shoe models and the resultant try-ons. A few extra were added as Alyzza tried to determine the best fit for her customer. Two different arch supports were tried and one pair was the winner ($60). Ultimately one pair was selected as the winner (Hoka/Bondi model in wide). The color desired (black) was not available in this store. We found out that if the shoe was available from the Elk Grove location it could be ready for pick up on J St in a couple days, but the ownership/reciprocity of the other two regional stores (Folsom and Roseville) was different, such that we had to physically pick them up ourselves. She double checked that the shoes were available in Roseville with a phone call, and said they'd be held for my sibkid for three days. There was also an online ordering option which could take upwards of two weeks. We ended up making the drive to Roseville where the transaction was handled efficiently. It was irritating to have to drive ten miles out of the way because the stores don't share ownership nor do reciprocal regional deliveries. It would have been a much worse drive on a normal M-F, so we lucked out. Alyzza definitely made this whole process positive and is a huge asset to the store. Pros: Foot testing, hands on fitting, big selection. Helpful staff if you luck out and get a great associate. Great return policy (30 days, worn outside ok). Cons: Limited brands, no sales, little customer self- selection, potential perceived time pressure to test shoes (I would hate this but my sibkid was fine with it), sizing availability and possible need to travel to pick up shoes. Street parking in Midtown.

They were able to pull out the shoes in a couple different colorways for us to check out and I found the pair I was looking for. The pricing is standard for the quality, and if you need help finding the correct shoes for you they are able to measure your feet and look at your stride. They also offer inserts that can help with different needs and will help make the shoes even more comfortable based off the shape of your feet and what workouts you're doing.

I often buy something from this part of the store. I also tend to buy something near the displays by the checkout counter. I like the rewards and how you can get freebies sometimes. I recommend checking out this store especially if you are on the hunt for some good shoes.

Bc my wife retired from working at the Med Center & basically can only wear good supportive shoes due to her plantar fasciitis, neuromas, flat feet, high arches & osteoarthritis in her knee. Yup! Ever since the Walking Store closed their doors she needed to find a local shoe store where she can try on shoes IN PERSON!!! They have been closed for over 4 years though they are online only. Online sucks for her. She needs to try on shoes in person. She prefers to buy shoes close by to home. Unfortunately Nordstrom's closed their doors at Arden. We could probably go to the Rack. Nawww not the same service. Dan basically gave my wife personal service! She got spoiled here! Dan even brought out shoes from the back not shown out on display in the shoe store. There were a few styles she never heard before and needed to try them on in the store. They even sell Hokas & Aetrex here! She was so HAPPY & totally in SHOE HEAVEN! Woohoo! Thank you Dan for taking care of my wife bc we will absolutely be back! My wife is so happy. She bought 5 pairs of shoes & a pair of Aetrex orthotics! Thanks DAN A!!! It was my wife's first time in this store & it will NOT be her last! She almost went again today! Heehee. Oh btw shoes here are not a dime a piece. You must be ready to spend a fortune.

But it also means it comes with crazy crowd and holy smokes it was so hot in there which made trying on shoes a bit overwhelming and getting a sweat on for sure.

But you do have to make sure you like them and it fits as it's strictly no returns whatsoever. Sales are final! Clothes price point was ehh I feel you can get a better deal elsewhere.

This was just a quick stop before a comedy show with friends, nothing serious... or so I thought. At first glance I'm like ehh, maybe not today.

Next thing you know, I'm stacking boxes like I'm prepping for a season, not a night out. I pass a guy holding six pairs and think "that's wild"... then I catch myself with three like hold up, I'm not much better . That's the kind of place this is--you go in casual and leave doing math you didn't plan on doing. Deals just keep popping up if you take your time and dig a little. Gotta give credit to the crew too. Everyone was polite, easygoing, and helpful without hovering. And the checkout? Moved faster than a NASCAR pit stop, no exaggeration. In and out with bags in hand and still made it to the comedy show on time. Yeah... I'll definitely be back.

They don't proactively try to get in your business, but once you engage them they are on your mission with you.
