FOOTWEAR IS THE FOUNDATION
Footwear is arguably the most important factor when
when considering a running or walking training program and a healthy
concern to avoid injury and perform at your best. This is because of
the fundamental role footwear plays in helping your body
to align itself so that joints move smoothly, and
ligaments and tendons are not over-stretched or overused. The
shoes we carry are specifically designed to compliment your
biomechanics so that stress to the body is reduced
and efficiency is increased. You can learn more
about how we fit you at the link below.

In order
to work most effectively, specialty running and walking footwear
must do 3 things well:
- Fit the contours,
length and width of your foot properly.
- Support your foot
appropriately in relation to your specifics needs; your individual
stride, strike and gait biomechanics.
- Give you an
appropriate amount of cushioning
HOW WE SELECT THE SHOES WE
CARRY
We
are constantly wear-testing and evaluating running shoes to
determine the best selection for our customers. Only the best models find a
home on our shoe wall.
We stock shoes from companies that have the highest
reputations for quality and performance. We are constantly on the
lookout for new brands and models that deserve the honor of a spot
in our store.
WHAT'S THE BEST SHOE FOR RUNNING OR
WALKING?
There really isn't a
“Best Shoe” or “Best Brand”. Everyone has unique
needs and what is best for someone else, may not be best for
you. The path to a "best" solution starts with
getting fit
to determine which shoes deliver what you need based
on the 3 criteria stated above.
TIPS FOR A GREAT FIT!
1.
Bring your old shoes
with you so we can examine them for wear patterns and indications of
special needs.
2.
Tell our FIT Specialist
what you liked and disliked about your shoes and any issues you’re
having with aches and pains, or running injuries.
3.
Let us do a full FIT analysis
with you if you have any doubts about the perfect shoe for you. This is especially
recommended if you are
dealing with any aches or pains.
One final tip: Don't buy your shoes based on how they look!
Focus on how they fit and work for your biomechanics. You will be happiest if they
work they way they should, keeping you injury free and comfortable
for miles and miles!
