| - After suffering another bout of running related injuries, I finally decided it was time to cave and seek professional help.
I had been torn between trying Elite or Fleet Feet in Mt. Lebo, but seeing as I had some errands to run in Robinson, Elite won simply by convenience.
The owner (I assume) was extremely helpful and nice. He looked over my current running shoes, stated an up front hypothesis on the issue (too much support), watched me walk, run (shoes on/ off for both), measured every dimension of my foot, and finally helped me find a pair of shoes that seem to address an issue I never knew I had.
I would have loved to give Elite a perfect 5, but considering my shoes were $40 more than I could of picked them up at the nearby REI, I just can't bring myself to do it. I'll consider the $40 an investment in my own health and the expertise of a 30+ year runner, but now that I have it figured out, I'll probably reserve my Elite interaction to once every year or two.
