I suppose this used to be The Training Station and Run are now different. And they should be! I wrote this for The Training Station -- but its mostly about Run... I was running about 8-13 miles a day at a 6:45 pace. Then I broke my leg. I was diagnosed with chronic pain. I had a gait analysis. But then, I went to a running store where a college kid was expected to interpret the results. Or... watch me walk. Turns out, I ended up with $500 custom orthotics, $200 running shoes that caused MORE pain. Somehow, I stumbled upon Phil at The Training Station. Hes, like, an Olympian. But for real. Gait Analysis at a University or hospital is great but they dont know or sell shoes. Phil does a real gait analysis AND knows his sneakers. Im so thankful I found this place. I even called him a few weeks later to ask about a new pain. Seven miles last night. No pain at all. Running shoes at the same price as Footlocker.

Phil set me up with a nice pair of running shoes. Being a student, money is tight so I didnt think about spending on customized and overprecise equipment. The shoes I got are really good looking and are much better than my old ones that I fitted myself. Phil did a bunch of measurements and tests. Then he grabbed a bunch of shoes and asked some questions while explaining everything. Before I got to leave, I had to test them out and actually use them on the treadmill. After some adjustments, I paid what I wouldve paid on Amazon. Phil is an awesome dude that definitely knows what hes talking about. Id trust him if he told me to wear banana peels. Hes saved me a ton of headaches and money. Ill be back.

Awesome Experience. Good selection. Great process for selecting shoes. Knowledgable/Engaged/Attentive Staff. Worked with Joe. He was terrific at helping me work through several shoe models to find what I needed. Not once did I feel as though I was "sold" anything. The whole process is very much founded in the idea of "Lets take our time to find the right running shoe for your foot". Looking forward to coming back in 6 months for my next pair.

Great service from knowledgeable staff. Joe had me try out runners until I was sure I was getting exactly the shoe I wanted. Try things out on a treadmill or a Turf track; this place is great. Full service conditioning gym & classes too, if youre interested--but Im an outdoor runner!

Joined the gym AND bought new running shoes! Love it. Phil fit me to a pair of Brooks that are amazing. I thought I was going to have to see a doctor or get custom orthotics. Apparently not. Who wouldve thought a brand name shoe could actually fit well? Not me.

My wife and I have used Phils gait analysis and shoe-fitting service and we both came away very satisfied. He is very knowledgable, experienced and patient. I recommend Run Shoe Store for anyone looking for a sneaker that suits their running style.

Really helpful service with purchasing my running shoes. I didnt really know all of the technicalities of running shoes until they broke it down for me. Excellent service without being pushy for a sale.
