How do I know when I need new shoes?
Most shoes are ready to be replaced around 300 to 500 miles, but it depends on how often you use them, what you use them for, and where you run or walk. Other signs it may be time include visible wear, foot pain, shin splints, or new aches and pains. Rotating between two pairs can help shoes last longer and may reduce injury risk.

​

I am looking for a specific model, brand, size, width, or color. Do you have it?
Maybe. The best way to know is to stop by and ask. We are happy to check and pull similar options so you can compare. Short on time? Give us a call and we will let you know what is in stock.

​

How do you recommend a shoe for me?
We start by asking questions, watching you walk, and checking the wear on your current shoes. Bring them in if you can. We also have a treadmill so you can try as many pairs as you want while we look at your gait and movement.

​

Help, I have blisters!
A new pair of shoes can sometimes cause an early blister or two. Do not ignore them. Treat blisters right away so they do not affect your stride or form. We can help you choose the best treatment based on where and how severe it is, and we carry blister care products in store. Good socks matter, too. Quality sweat wicking socks can go a long way in preventing blisters. 

​

Will new insoles extend the life of my shoes?
Insoles can add comfort, support, and stability for runners, walkers, and anyone on their feet a lot, with or without pain. That said, they do not reset the clock on a worn out shoe. Shoe life still depends on age, wear, and overall quality. Pro tip: note the date you start wearing a new pair and check back to the first question.

​

Do you have racing spikes? What about trail running shoes?
Yes to both! Ask us about our current selection.

​

What do you sell besides shoes?
Socks, compression sleeves, insoles, apparel, fuel, GPS and non GPS watches, sunglasses, blister care, massage sticks, foam rollers, accessories, and more.
