Before you run out the door with your new shoes, we want to make sure you are in the proper footwear. While some of you may walk into our store knowing what you want and need, we want to make sure that the rest of you get the help you deserve from people that know how to help.
For those of you that do want help, here are some things to expect from our fitting process:
- Our goal is to help you be more comfortable while running so that you can run more, be injured less, and come back to our store often. ;)
- The fitting process may vary a bit from customer to customer. Your own personal experience might even vary as your needs as a runner change over time. The important thing to remember is that we are always here to help by providing as much (or as little) help as you need. No more...no less...but just the right amount.
- Bringing in your old shoes can be a big help to us. By looking at the wear pattern on each sole, we can gain insight into your footstrike and what type of shoe you might like.
- Don't hesitate to tell us what you're feeling during the fitting process. Your feedback will help us provide better guidance to you and our other customers.
- Finding a proper running shoe is not an exact science. For most customers, there will typically be more than one pair of shoes that will work. The decision of what shoes to purchase and wear will ultimately be yours. We can guide and advise you, but only you will know what feels best.
