I made the drive out from the South Side, and I'm glad I did. I brought my old running shoes with me, which they were able to look at and make recommendations for new shoes. I spent a good amount of time with the sales guy, who was a track runner himself. He observed me walk in the store to look at my habits and then try on a few different pairs and run outside in them. Great experience, good knowledgeable staff. There is also a discount for members of Pittsburgh Triathlon club.
