as a novice runner, i was a bit intimidated to venture into one of those hard-core shops. i'd never been truly fitted for a running shoe, so the whole process was a bit foreign. however, the woman helping me was super-kind and very knowledgeable about all things running. she had great recommendations and was not pressuring on sales whatsoever. (also, research online proved their prices to be quite reasonable.) they let you try on as many shoes as you'd need and run around a bit in the plaza outside - even wear a mixed pair to compare and contrast to help you decide. it was a really helpful experience - i'm sure i'll be back for my next pair!
Pros: GREAT staff!
