My parents and I were in desperate need of some new running shoes and wanted to go somewhere OTHER than Road Runner Sports. We went to Road Runner Sports once and vowed to never go back, the service was just too pushy and more sales oriented than helpful if anything... I wanted to buy a pair of shoes, not a car!
After some 'yelping' we found Sole Sports and figured we'd give it a shot... needless to say we were not let down! The gentleman who helped us (forgot to grab his name) was young but INCREDIBLY knowledgable! We told him our issues and he gave us solutions to our problems, not options for payment plans and memberships that will discount us on x amount of sales!!
Long story short, if you love to run and need a pair of shoes that will allow you to keep pursuing that passion go to Sole Sports! They have made lifelong customers out of me and my family and we promise to never shop elsewhere!
