Wow. I was so nervous about finding a new pair of running shoes because I had a very specific list…read moreof criteria that I knew was going to be so annoying for whatever poor sales associate was brave enough to greet me. After taking a few moments to look at the wall, Monica ended up greeting me and was on her A-game from the get go. She listened to what I thought I needed, helped guide me to what was actually best for my feet, fitted me, and was incredibly considerate and helpful when picking out shoes for me to try. I think I probably tried on 10 pairs before landing on a pair and she was just as bright and personable for the last pair as she was the first. Give that girl a raise, I rarely write reviews but she was fantastic!

I stopped by because a friend suggested this place for running shoes and insoles. I had injured my…read moreheel and decided to give it some extra care to hopefully recover quicker, so she convinced me. I was greeted and helped right away. The man who helped me was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He watched me walk across the room to observe my gait and made suggestions from there. I learned that my feet grew an inch and a half (yes! they keep growing well into adulthood and throughout your lifespan.) He also advised that I wear a half inch to an inch more for running shoes. (Apparently it's common for running shoes to fit on the smaller side. Plus, going up half a size gives more room for the foot to spread when it hits the ground.) He let me try the insoles and even pulled out some running shoes for me to see what they offer despite me not being in the market for them yet. I figured why not. He did all the work of fitting them on me correctly. No leaning down to put them on myself. I fell in love with the Hoka running shoes and hope to buy some new ones from them in the future. Shoe prices run from $90 to $150+. (The Hokas were roughly $150.) However, when the newest shoe is released, the previous version goes on sale. On average, you can expect to pay $100-120 for a pair of running shoes here, but you can sometimes get some for $90 with that discount. I walked out with some good insoles and a massage ball for the bottom of my feet. With tax, that cost me $52. There's also a barrel where you can discard your old shoes. I think they get donated, but I don't know for sure. I always try to add something that would make a place better, but I'm so inexperienced with shoe stores and so satisfied with my experience that I'm not sure what to add. hmm... How about getting the parking lot repaved so the dips and bumps aren't a bother. Great job. 5 stars well earned.
