This is my go to place for buying gym shoes in PHX.
Why? Because I am a lame-ass runner.
It doesn't matter that I've been doing it for years now, I still suck. I have no speed, little endurance and bad knees but these guys don't get down on my sudden desire to run stairs, they help me find shoes that will cushion my need to shred myself. This is a happy thing.
On my last visit I knew they were really listening. I am always on the look out for a good sports bra. Being extra grande up top I am often handed the old adage 'wear two'. But my sales guy actually looked at me LOOKED and said 'telling you to wear two when you wouldn't be able to get the first one on isn't going to help.' YES! Thank you! So the man asked me 'what have you been doing?' I told him what I wear so he could pass it on and it won't surprise me if when I go back there is more conventional wisdom available or maybe some new gear.
Sweet.
