It's unfortunate to hear that the other reviewers were so unsatisfied with their experience, b/c along with my friends and family I have shopped there for years and will never go anywhere else. The staff is so friendly and very knowledgeable. Despite the fact that I know nothing about running shoes they always made me feel like a runner.

Pros

+ Intelligent and welcoming

Cons

- Tough parking

Snobby salesclerk; you better know your running shoes before getting in there; he laughed when I told him I had not done much research on the shoe. Talk about making a customer uncomfortable! I left and would never go back-I'll take a Foot Locker anyday.
