I took my dad to a running store yesterday called, A Snail's Pace and was so impressed with the service and knowledge of the employees that I wanted to give them a shout out.
My dad injured his knee about 2 years ago while climbing and it has been bothering him off and on every since. A brief little history about my dad; he is a mountaineer. Climbing mountains, building igloos, rock climbing, kayaking, and running circles around me is just a normal day for him. Every since he injured his knee, he hasn't been running, and I was missing my running partner when he was in town. So we decided to head to A Snail's Pace so they could help him find a pair of running shoes that will properly support his running style and protect his knee.
The guy that helped us (wish I could remember his name) knew so much helpful information about all the different styles of running shoes and the support design of the soles. He analyzed the wear on the pair of my dad's old running shoes, watched the way he ran, and asked educated questions about what my dad was looking for.
All the consideration and detail that he put into picking the right shoe for my dad was amazing, and they aren't even working on commission, so there is never any pressure to buy anything.
If you are on the market for a new pair of running shoes, I would highly recommend A Snail's Pace. I know I will be going there for my next pair.
Pura Vida!
