As a newish runner I sometimes get lost when I am out wandering crazy town. I am happy to say however in the midst of my jungle there is a safe haven and that safe haven is Vertical Runner. I have browsed many a time as well as made substantial purchases here including shoes, hydration packs, & fuel. I had the poor luck of purchasing a wrong sized shoe, but with good fortune Vertical Runner let me size up. Thats class act among any shoe store, running specialty or otherwise. On top of having the good goods, they also hold running classes and clinics. Occasionally you may also happen across a shoe vendor allowing you to actually significantly run in their shoes with out having to purchase them. Like far-out man. I did a 5 mile on a snowy trail in a pair of Hoka One One's. Its stuff like all of this that makes VR pretty Bdass!
