Greg Gollaher

“Extremely knowledgeable people and a good selection. I went in for better quality running shoes. When I walked in my knees ached from running on the treadmill. When I walked out of the store, in my new shoes, my knees didn't ache. Just the change in shoes alleviated the knee pain and got me back on the treadmill comfortably.”

Ara Robbins

“Excellent customer service. They listen to your problems and help you find the right shoes. I have fractures in both ankles and tendons pulled. I went in today as a repeat customer to buy the same shoes in a different color. I stand on concrete as a nurse 40-50 hours a week. Support this small business. You won't be disappointed!!!”

I immediately fell in love with the shoes i was trying on. I was in and out within 20 mins! They were so quick and so nice. I will definitely be buying all my shoes from here for now on!”

“Somehow Mike managed to multitask and help three of us all at once, quite skillfully and efficiently. Analyzed our arch, feet and gait. Had us try multiple types and walk around to get a feel for the fit and comfort. Also recommended ways to tie the shoelaces to make it help your particular issues. Very helpful and glad I was recommended to come there.”

“

Andrew Totsch

“Extremely friendly and attentive service. I normally order shoes online, but they showed me why I should come in person. They do a great job on making their customers feel as if they are the only one in the store while even helping other customers. Great shop. I will be back.”
