Fantastic experience! I highly recommend Front Runner Athletics! They are knowledgable, professional, honest, personable, and kind. Owner Chad Varga gave me his undivided attention, analyzed my gait, and helped me find the perfect shoe by letting me try on several different styles/brands until I found the right one. Great people and great service!
