Review from Christina M.

Love this place. I buy my new shoes and gear here. I love this place because the people who work there are runners not posers. Most of them run marathons and ultras so they really know from experience.
They also have a gait analysis machine and treadmill so they can see your pronation type and provide you with recommendations on shoes, arch support, etc.
Yes - they are expensive -- I think my last purchase was new pair running pants for winter, new running shoes, and new winter running outwear top - $350 but... it's worth every penny.
You buy quality so you make big purchases in the upfront - but then you won't need to repurchase for awhile - other than the shoes (depending on your weekly milage).
I have run all my races in NB shoes and have had bouts of plantar faciiatis -

Stopped in yesterday looking for NB 606's that my local store said was not good enough for them to carry. This store did not have them, however, the store manager offered to order them for me and ship them for FREE!!!! I will be back, great customer service!! Thank you!

I just went here and had to hold back and only buy 2 pairs of shoes! My friend recommended going here. She told me it's the best as far as getting fitted for shoes. She was right on the money!
This place has not only gym shoes, but sandals and leather shoes for women! They also have men's shoes and children's shoes as well as clothing. The selection can be overwhelming.
As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted by a friendly guy. I had no idea what specific shoes I wanted, just that I had hard to fit feet and needed shoes for walking and working out. He picked out a few pairs, measured my feet and helped me get 2 great pairs of shoes. I could have bought some of the cute sandals and their loafers are nice looking too, but you don't want the credit card bill to get too high.
This place is located in a strip mall by Bennigans and if you aren't looking for it, you can drive right by it. It's worth the trip! -

I'm torn, the shoes are great, the service was fine, but I spent more than I thought I would by a large amount.
watch out for bait and switch tactics with their mass mail coupons -

Here is another reason why they are worth 5 stars... they just sent me a thank you card for my last shopping visit. Which other gym shoe place does that?

Review from Tina T.

I religiously buy my New balance shoes, and I only go directly to their stores. As a personal trainer and group exercise instructor, I spend a lot of time in my gym shoes, and teaching kickboxing, boot camp, and working out often takes a lot of wear and tear on my shoes. I have found New balance to give me the best support for my foot. However, I only go directly to their stores and make sure to purchase a more high end model (1004 crosstrainers) which is usually not available elsewhere. I have found their salespeople to be friendly and helpful, and they give me and all of my clients a 10% discount as well on any purchases - how can you beat that?

The people at New Balance are very helpful. I've bought quite a few pairs of gym shoes here. Recently I was having pain in my knees and hips when I worked out. So I explained it to the guy and he suggested and insert. Worked wonders! Now that's it's time for a new pair I will make my trip to the store.
