Expensive - no great expertise and a lot of hype.

Yes, they have a treadmill and yes they videotape you for about 5 seconds while you run on the treadmill to determine what kind of shoe to sell you - but it is just a lot of hype to make you believe you should pay over $100 for a pair of running shoes. I was talked into a pair of Brooks a size larger than I usually wear when I specifically told the salesperson I loved my old New Balance running shoes and want something very similar. Over $100 later, I was stuck with a pair of too large running shoes that aren't nearly as comfortable as my old NB runners. I could have gotten my old reliable NB shoes at Modells for $60ish. So forget the treadmill and the supposed "professional evaluation" it's a lot of hype.

i have only been to the Manhattan location and it is everything it is advertised to be. i bought a pair of running shoes and went through the whole process on the treadmill before buying running shoes, which was very thorough. i love what i wound up with. the clothing selection is extensive. i have also taken a swim clinic through the store which has been very helpful in my preparation for my first triathlon.
