I went into this Running Room location in hopes of finding some good footwear. The store seems a bit crowded, but organized. The shoe selection is small. A guy at the shoes asked if I needed help, I told him what I was looking for. He asked to do a analysis on my walk to determine if I needed stability shoes. So He had me do a squat and a lunge, then walk the length of the store and back. He said I would fit best in a neutral shoe and asked if he could go in the back and just pull out a few styles for me. I waited for a bit before he came out with one pair. As I tried them on he went to find others. The first pair fit well, they were $149. The second pair he came out with were $189 and weren't all too comfortable. The third pair didn't fit well at all. I really liked the first pair, but they were white, which was a downside to me. They didn't carry any other colors. I decided to think about them. They have a 30 day return policy, as long as you do not wear them outside.
I asked about the running clinics they hold. They are $69 plus tax and usually run for 11 weeks or so. They have a great variety, walking 5km, running 5km, fitness walking, learn to run, half marathon, triathlon, to name a few. They run all year long. They offer practice days on Wednesday and Sundays for free. He said I could even come and check out a class for free if I wanted.
I was impressed with the knowledge and helpfulness at the Running Room. The selection of shoes wasn't that great, the pricing was steep. They have a great selection of clothing and gear! I think this is a great place to check out if you are a runner, or walker! read more
