Question 1

How do I know when I need new shoes?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How do you recommend a shoe for me?

Accepted Answer

We start by asking questions, watching you walk, and checking the wear on your current/previously worn shoes. (Bring them in if you can!) We also have a treadmill in the store, so you can try as many pairs as you want while we look at your gait and movement.

I'm looking for a specific model, brand, size, width, or color. Do you have it?

Do you have kids' sizes?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Help, I have blisters!

Accepted Answer

It's normal for a new pair of shoes to sometimes cause an early blister or two. Do not ignore them. Treat blisters right away so they don't affect your 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.

Question 9

Do I need insoles? Will they extend the life of my shoes?

Accepted Answer

Insoles can add comfort, support, and stability for runners, walkers, and anyone on their feet a lot, with or without pain. We can make a recommendation for you in store.

That said, insoles don't reset the clock on a worn out shoe. Shoe life still depends on age, wear, and overall quality. Any time you begin wearing a new pair of shoes or insoles, write down the date so you don't forget it.
