I called before hand and asked if the staff can measure my gate and get me in the right pair of running shoes. I was told yes, we do that. I get there and the staff member, while very polite, simply looked at the arch of my foot after removing my shoe and assured me he knew what shoe I needed. He sounded confident and after trying on the shoe I decided to trust him and make the $130 purchase. Fast forward 3 weeks and I have ran about 30 miles in the shoes and start to experience ankle and knee pain that I have never encountered before. I have been an athlete all my life. I am young. I wanted so badly for it not to be the shoes causing my problems, being I spent so much money on them. But after an exhaustive amount of research I have to conclude that I am natural under-pronator and need a shoe with very minimal arch support. The staff member assured me the shoe he chose for me was right for my foot, while it has a ton of arch support.... Literally the opposite of what I need in a shoe. I will contact them to see if I can do an exchange for store credit or hopefully get a refund. I accept I am partially to blame, I did not understand what proper gate analysis was and should have know simply looking at my arches is not right. However, if they did gate analysis was the question I asked and was told yes. I was given a shoe by a very confident, but ignorant, staff member which I am convinced resulted in injures that have caused me to stop running for a week now in order to heal. It would be the right thing to do to reimburse me. We will have to see if they make this right.

Unparalleled service. Never have I had anyone try to up sell me. In fact, I once went in to get a full tune-up and the mechanic said "lets see what you really need before we do that." Saved me $50.
