Vertical Runner of Brecksville

"Came in with my eldest who has recently expressed interest in running to get him a proper pair of running shoes. I was absolutely blown away by just how knowledgeable, engaged, and enthusiastic the woman who helped him was. Heck, she even had advice for me on how to improve my stride and lessen the chances of injury! She talked to my son in a way that made him feel like he was being welcomed into the club, and that he was embarking on a life-long activity. “As you run more…” “As your running improves…” “You’ll start to notice as you run…” To say this was a really, truly impressive experience is an understatement. With any luck, this experience not only got him properly shod, but made him feel welcomed into the sport too. Thank you."

"After trying to find a store with many options I almost gave up. I came across this place and I couldn't be more glad I did. They had every brand I was recommended so I could try them all! I run OCR and need certain shoes for my needs. The women was extremely knowledgeable, kind and helpful. She wasn't trying to just sell me a bunch of stuff I didn't need but helping me find what was right for ne. There isn't another shoe store for athletes like it."

"Great experience. There are many great shoe stores, but this is a must for folks looking for new kicks. From all forms of walking and hiking, they have a wall of shoes for you to choose from. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. I worked with David, gave him some history and background, showed him the shoes I was currently wearing, and he brought out several pairs for me to try on. The staff even encouraged me to run outside to get a good feel. Dave reviewed the difference of each shoe and how it would compare to my current ones. Thank you all, I will be back."

"We spent a lot of time going over different shoes and types of running, had a good in store selection & sales staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Glad I stopped in."

"Just got done running in my new shoes! Absolutely love them! Tim helped me out, super knowledgeable, made it easy for me to find the right shoe."
