Laura and Matt are so great for staying. We didn’t realize they closed early because of the holiday and they insisted on helping me anyway. Thank you!

Dathan was knowledgeable and very helpful in helping my Dad determine the right shoes for him. My dad isn't a runner, but we wanted to find a supportive pair of shoes for him. Dathan was very patient in answering all of our questions!

Matt helped me try on shoes and get fit into the right choice! He also helped me by looking at my running technique on the treadmill and gave me good feedback! Thank you!
