Why should you be professionally fit

for running or walking shoes?

The advanced technology that has gone into running shoe development in the past decade has made it possible to fit nearly every foot type. Running shoes are specifically designed to address a vast variety of foot shapes and biomechanical anomalies. We carry shoes for all types - even special needs. (Click on the pictures to the right to see some examples). It is difficult to know which shoe will work best for you. We're here to help!

The first step to being correctly fit for running/walking shoes is to have your gait analyzed. At The Running Place, our staff will analyze your gait and foot strike. Once our staff has determined which type of shoe will work best for you, all you have to worry about is comfort. Usually you will have a couple of good choices so you can let comfort be your guide.

All our customers receive friendly and professional service. At The Running Place, gait analysis is part of your shoe buying experience. We feel strongly that providing this special attention allows us to assist customers in achieving their fitness goals.

The service we provide to customers extends beyond providing the best technically advanced shoes. We also offer great looking apparel designed to keep you comfortable no matter what the environmental conditions. Whether you are looking for  the best sports bra you’ve ever worn or the warmest jacket you’ve ever had, chances are we have it.  And we offer petite as well as plus sizes
