At A Snail's Pace Running Shops, our specially trained staff will make sure you're fitted with the running shoes that are best suited to your individual needs. It's a simple process that typically takes about thirty minutes. While watching you run or walk, we’ll analyze your bio-mechanics and make appropriate footwear recommendations from the many quality running shoe brands we carry. Then all you need to do is discuss these options with us so we can help you select the ideal pair which fits and feels the best to you. It's easy and it's fun!
In addition to running and walking shoes, we also carry a full line of running apparel and accessories. Whether it’s shorts, shirts, or tights; accessories for injury prevention or injury care; hard-to-find items from head lamps to hydration belts - you name it, we've got it.
Be sure to look into our renowned running club, which can make your running a more enjoyable and interpersonal experience. And we even offer a suite of training programs in our Running Academy, which will get you ready for your first 5k, or that marathon or half-marathon that you've been thinking about.
