went yesterday to get son outfitted for track season. i forgot how much there was to think about in selecting a running shoe and all the other paraphernalia that goes with running. one of the benefits of having offspring, you actually care that they are properly outfitted thus you are forced to take notice of how much you neglect your own running needs beyond the cute clothes and ipod shoes. the staff took an hour with us having my son run around the store, they even have a treadmill with video analysis to measure your gait. their selection of high tech shoes and equipment is more than you'll need but not so much that it overwhelms you. the nicest thing was that one of the salespeople knew my son's track coach and was able to apply that knowledge towards deterring us from purchasing both practice shoes and spikes...you gotta love it when a salesperson prevents you from wasting money. these people really took us seriously and made my son more excited about his new sport. compression pants, high tech socks, perfect shoes to protect his knees, what more could you ask for?
