We have been buying shoes at Front Runner since we met Chad at the YMCA over 13 years ago! They have always been helpful with soccer shoes and equipment and as our kids got older, with swim team equipment and high school track shoes, and eventually as our children have become young adults themselves, soccer refereeing and lifeguarding suits and whistles! Chad and Andrew are so accommodating and knowledgable when it comes to getting just the right shoes for our running styles and our crazy flat feet! We don't buy our shoes fr... read more

I first went to Front Runner for shoes when I started out on my walking journey two years ago and they set me up with asics. (Prior to shoes, I had worked with them when my kid was on a swim team. They were always helpful.) I ordered a colorful pair from the catalog. I recently went back with doc orders to try Hokas or another shoe for extra support. The folks at Front Runner were great. I had to order my size. When the shoes came in, I took my old pairs of Asics to be recycled in their recycle program through which folks wh... read more

I won't shop for my running shoes anywhere but this store! I think what means the most to me is the undivided attention you get when you're the one being served! If it takes 10 boxes of shoes to lace up for me they do it without a problem because they want me to be happy and they will give me honest feedback regarding what's best for MY issues with my feet which sometimes makes it tricky! But here's the big thing...I bought a pair of running shoes and WORE THEM running and I came back and my foot had blisters and they hurt s... read more

Chad and his knowledgeable staff know shoes and running gear. That is what sets them apart from many other shoe stores. Having the right pair of shoes and socks makes all the difference. Every foot is different. As someone who has high arches and orthotics, they always help find the right shoe for me. I also love the fact that the store and all of the employees do so much to sponsor and promote running events in Chattanooga.
