The only way to buy running/walking shoes!
Red Rock Running Company is an awesome shoe store. When you walk in, you know everyone in the store knows their stuff. Everyone is way into running too. I am not really a runner (unless something big and ugly is chasing me), but I like having really good running/walking shoes because it helps my back feel better during my daily activities. If something eases my back pain, I am all over it!
What really sets RRRC apart from the other athletic shoe stores is that they put you on a treadmill and record a video to see how your feet and ankles are working. You then watch the video with your sales person and they review it with you. From the info, they then decide what type of shoe you need to correct/enhance what your feet are doing. The sales person even shows you how each pair of shoes are different and what the shoes are doing for your feet. When the sales person start bringing out shoes, they will have you try a different one on each foot to see which one you like. It is like when you are getting your eyes checked, "Do you like option #1 or #2? What about #2 or #3?" What a great concept! They don't just have you walk in the store either, they have you go outside and test them around the building, so you can really test them out.
I don't know why other athletic shoe stores don't do these types of shoe testings. I think it is simply brilliant! I will always buy my running/walking shoes here from now on. If you need some new sneakers, go try out Red Rock Running Company and find a super comfy pair of shoes for your feet!
