Went to Extreme Runners today because I keep wearing holes in the tops of my shoes and needed replacements. The staff spent significant time with me, addressed my issues with great advise and loads of knowledge, and set me up with a pair of shoes that I can wear to work where I am on my feet all day. Thank you!
