I get the Road Runner Sports catalog in the mail, and was very happy to finally have them finally open up a physical store in the Tempe Marketplace. From the catalog, I knew they had a wide variety of shoes, clothing, and running accessories, and the store was stuffed full of them. But once you step inside the store you get something that you cannot get from ordering online: superior customer service.
I was having some foot issues from running and wanted to check to see if maybe it was my shoes. Their sales staff was excellent in analyzing my foot, stride, arch, and so forth and were able to recommend a great pair of shoes that have not caused me any problems whatsoever (that'll teach me to by running shoes at a Nike outlet store). They've got treadmills set up so that you can test out the shoes and a 30-day return policy on the shoes just in case they don't quite work out for you.
For those of you that are avid runners and see yourselves coming to this store often, I'd recommend joining their VIP program. You'll get discounts both at the store and online and even earn a free pair of shoes too. You can't be that. Happy running!
