On 1/20/2026 Robert B. had this to say:
Super helpful staff. They go the extra mile to get you the right product for YOU. The next time I need athletic or exercise gear I'll surely go back here and get it.

On 1/9/2026 Kimberly Andrews had this to say:
I am very thankful for Ken Combs and the employees that worked tirelessly to help me with my shoe purchase. I have an odd shaped foot and the ordered a few pairs to help me find the best one. Right after I got the shoes, I started a new job where I didn’t need them anymore. It was past the return mark but because I haven’t worn them anywhere but the store, they decided to accept the return. I would chose local the going anywhere else. Thank you so much you all!!

The store has the same name but is much, much improved under the new ownership these past few years. Excellent staff who are knowledgeable folks that will get the right shoes on your feet. I have bought a 2nd pair recently to alternate a daily walking shoe and couldn't be more impressed. :-)
