I've never bought running shoes that were picked out specifically for my needs but decided I would give it a try since I'm training for a half marathon. I heard a commercial on the radio for Endurance House's Personalized Movement Profile and decided I would see what they would recommend.
I walked in and was greeted by very friendly employees. I sat down with somebody and explained my training regiment. They had me put on a pair of test shoes and filmed my feet/legs while running at my own pace to show my gait and how a new shoe could improve my form.
I loved seeing the improvement from the test shoes to the Asics I ended up purchasing. The technology helps me really see that the shoes were correcting my pronation issues and convinced me to shell out a little more than I usually spend on running shoes.
Even though I am not a triathlete, I felt 100% comfortable buying shoes here. The woman I was working with explained everything perfectly and made me feel welcome. I will be buying my next pair of running shoes here as well!
