Questions about shoes? Running? Walking? Moving? We can’t wait to hear from you!

It wasn’t our best, but we gave it our all. Thankful for the opportunity and ability to lace up race shoes for over 15 years now. Big kudos to @katief617 who we have gotten to know the past several months - starting in your driveway with 30 peo

Yesterday, we went around to local businesses passing out flyers for our upcoming shoe drive with @sneakers4good for the @hamiltonturkeytrot

As the calendar year begins winding down, we always enjoy looking back at where running has taken us (both figuratively and literally). For runners, our feet allow us to explore new places, cities, states, or even countries.

Regardless of where runn

We are headed down to San Antonio next month to meet with several different shoe vendors.

The running shoe landscape has certainly grown over the last decade (think pre-super shoe era to current offerings). Designing shoes has truly become a scienc

It’s the process of simply moving forward, regardless of speed, regardless of distance.

Some days it feels easy, and other days it is more challenging. So long as

If it was easy, then everyone would do it.

Running isn’t just something you do. It’s a lifestyle, a commitment, and way of life. Ask any runner you know, and deep down, there is most certainly a ‘why’.
