| - My sister and I came here on a Monday to find her a new pair of shoes. My sister has special needs and her feet tend to turn inwards when she walks. The shoes she had from the beginning of the school year were worn out and needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, when it comes to shoes, sometimes it can be a bit challenging to find a pair that is supportive enough so she doesn't have to wear the painful orthotic inserts that she's been prescribed.
In search of another pair of Asics, we ended up here at Run for Your Life. I called earlier in the day to see if they sold Asics for children and they stated that they did. We showed up about two hours later and we were warmly greeted by Windy. She was extremely attentive to my sister and analyzed her feet and shoes thoroughly as well as her gait and recommended a shoe based on her analysis.
A cool pair of New Balances. When she put them on, the difference was like night and day. Immediately, I noticed that her ankles were upright. When she watched her walk and saw her heels were slipping she altered the laces into a special formation that stopped the slipping. I was impressed to say the least.
I called my Mom so she could give her approval. Unable to reach her, I asked Windy if they could be held. She obliged without hesitation and we left. After leaving, my Mom called and said she would head over and that I too should pick out some shoes. After a Starbucks break, we headed back.
This time, Lexi analyzed and measured my feet and informed me of what I should be looking for in a shoe. She brought out three options, from 3 brands: Mizuno, New Balances and Adidas. She also let me demo a special pair of socks to try on too. The two together made all of the difference. I noticed a huge difference immediately, even with the shoes I ended up liking the least.
I tried on each pair and Lexi watched me walk in each and agreed that the Adidas appeared to be the best option. We purchased both pair and bought the socks on a buy 3 get one free special.
My sister ended up wearing her shoes out of the store and donating her others to their Samaritan's Feet donation collection.
I later returned mine after finding a deal at a bulk retailer that they simply couldn't afford to match as a small retailer which I understood completely. Even still that doesn't negate the outstanding experience we had. We will continue to patronize them, especially for my sister's footwear needs.
One thing I found really cool is that they offer more than shoes and apparel. They also offer workshops, classes, training, races and fittings. Really a well-rounded business.
I really enjoyed my visit and would recommend then highly for running shoe needs.
