Good Service, Great Running Shoes, Friendly Staff by Samantha V. at InsiderPages

Contributor at Insider Pages

My chiropractor recommended this place when I asked him about getting running shoes. I used to buy what looked good but he recommended I go somewhere where a professional could assess my walking / running movements.

The people that work there are runners and they have a treadmill to run on so they can see what may be best for you. Together, we found shoes that looked good and felt good on my feet. I ended up getting two pairs of sauconys and they have both been great.

There was not a huge selection of shoes but I think for running shoes there are probably less designs than there would be in a large outlet type store that carries all kinds of shoes.

Prices were reasonable.

Other than parking (very close to the beach on Washington) the place is great.

PROS: Supplied what I needed, my feet are happy!

CONS: Beach Parkiing, weekends can be difficult.

extremely knowledgeable and helpful!

i felt like i really got a good sense of what im purchasing before committing to buying the shoes. the salesperson (Brian) took a look at the way i walked...noticed that i tend to talk flat and that they collapse inward. had me try not just 1 pair of shoes, but 3. had me run on a treadmill they have in the store to look at how the shoes fit my feet and also to listen for the sound that my running makes as a way to see whether the shoes are right for me. had me run outside (i actually ran to the pier) to get a good sense of how the shoes felt. throughout the sale, also, told me various bits of advice on running (i'm starting to run again). an experience i'm willing to enjoy again when i buy shoes the next time.

• Pros: knowledgeable sales, attentive, thorough

Great Running Store!

by christie2000 at Citysearch

Running store where the employees are runners and make sure your fit is correct for you. I'm always picky and they don't complain. Great service! You could probably find prices $5-10 cheaper elsewhere, but it's worth it for the service. I've purchased 2 out of the last 3 shoes from this store and will go back. See if you qualify for a discount! Small amount of accessories and clothing. Shoes are the real focus here. Not certain below review was for right store. There is a beach store next door.

• Pros: Excellent Help, Employees know their, stuff!
• Cons: A bit pricey.

get your bech gear here

hide your credit card for some not-so-great deals at above market prices; the selection of beach gear is reflective of many desingers and local wahoos who are charging too much.

• Pros: expensive, bad color selection
