I recently decided to take up running. Crazy, I know.
I really wanted to get legitimate with it, and this place had been recommended a few times. So, down I went to see what it was all about.
I was promptly greeted by Kelly. She asked what I was in for and I told her I had no idea what I needed, as far as shoes go. She was up for the challenge. I have to say, this was the most interactive shoe buying experience I've ever had. First, she had my take off my shoes and show her how I walked. After observing my feet she went to the back and brought out several pairs of shoes. She showed me how to properly put the shoe on and then had me go for a little jog outside of the store while she observed some more. I ended up doing this a couple of times, each with more comfortable shoes. I ended up with a really great pair from Brooks that I nearly fell asleep in the first night like a little kid. I didn't feel like she was trying to push me to buy higher priced shoes, which is great! I hate feeling pressured to get the biggest/most expensive/etc. of something. Then she gave me a little info on what kind of socks I should be wearing.
I referred a friend here, who also found her experience to be top notch. I look forward to shopping here again! I can't sing Kelly's praises enough, she was so awesome!
