FIT MATTERS

Experience the local service difference.

Personalized fit matters.

With so many available brands and styles, finding the right running shoe or orthotic can be a challenge. Ensuring the correct fit in your running shoe or orthotic can improve your performance, make your day or experience more comfortable, and - most importantly - prevent injury. Our knowledgeable staff provides a custom-fit experience to every customer. It’s the local running store difference that you won’t find from a big box retailer. Here’s what you can expect from our custom-fit process:

  • We check your arches. We have you stand on a tool that uses temperature-based technology to reveal visible results of you arch profile while also looking for overpronation or supination.

  • We check your gait. We look at your knee alignment and watch you walk to determine what support and stability you need in your shoe or insole.

  • We measure your foot. We measure you properly for the correct length and width to get you in the right size for you.

  • We will show you a selection of shoes from your favorite brands to choose from that will be the best fit for you.

“Working 12-hour shifts in a hospital does a number on your feet, legs, knees, and back…Never did I think I'd need to go to a running store, but I am glad I chose this one and on top of that, it was incredibly efficient. Don't always believe the hype about a certain shoe, go see these experts and they will help you find what works best for YOU! Highly recommend.”
