Testimonials
Hands down the best running store I have been to . . . Always helpful and kind, Bev has helped me figure out some solutions to feet issues and answers all my questions whenever I am in the store.
Locally owned! That's usually enough for me, but combined with competitive pricing and a staff who knows what they are talking about, and there's no reason to go anywhere else on the SW Side. I'll be back.
I just had one of the most enjoyable shopping experiences I really have ever had . . . [T]he owner takes the time to get to know you, to learn your habits, and to make helpful suggestions.
