Matt Fitzgerald says the real question isn't which shoe to buy, but where. No single shoe works for every runner. A trained expert at a local running specialty shop like Run Flagstaff can fit you properly, while buying online is basically gambling.
Hey there, just testing out my new Tracksmith Elliot runners. You know, one of the questions I get most often from runners is, which shoe should I buy? And what I tell them is, you're asking the wrong question. The proper question is, where should I buy my shoes? The reason is that no single shoe is ideal for every runner. In order to get matched up with the best footwear for your needs, You need to put yourself in the hands of a trained expert, and the best place to do that is at your local run specialty shop. Here in Flagstaff, that place is Run Flagstaff, the official retail partner of DreamRun Camp. When DreamRunners come here to Flagstaff to spend some time training and they need a new pair of running shoes or other gear, I take them straight to Run Flagstaff. When you shop online, you're really rolling the dice. I recommend that you find the best local running specialty shop in your area to make sure that you get matched up with the best pair pair of running shoes for you. And if you can't find one, just come here to Dream Run Camp and shop at Run Flagstaff.
