Nayquan was an incredible help and an expert at what he does. He assessed my gait and then brought out 5 pairs of shoes that were aligned with my training goals. He was also easy to talk to and had a great attitude!

This place is awesome. I was greeted cheerfully at the door and got my gait and feet analyzed and new shoe suggestions in less than fifteen minutes, and tried on like four pairs of shoes in about five minutes (because I was trying them fast, not because I was being rushed. I’m sure you can go slower if you want to!)

All in all, I was in and out in less than twenty minutes, so I bought two pairs of socks to go with my new shoes as well.

I hope the employees here are well paid for what they do, because they were great!

Had a great experience purchasing new sneakers here. The sales associate worked with me they scan your feet and look at how you walk and make sure recommendations based on your anatomy and gait. After wearing my shoes in the house that evening, I decided to exchange for another size and the sales associate at another location was equally friendly and accommodating. I wish I had come here sooner rather than going around to a bunch of different stores hunting down sneakers that fit me properly. I have an old foot injury, which makes finding properly fitted sneakers quite difficult. They are really good at what they do and they will find you the right pair of shoes for your needs with very little hassle. I will definitely return here for my next sneakers.

Grateful that Logan and Nayquan (I was there on two different days) waited on me. Took the time to answer all my questions, very knowledgeable and pleasant. I hope these employees remain at this store. Another great review for Luke!

Nice people and decent selection in a small, busy store. They stock shoes, clothes, glasses, watches, gels/hydration, bottles, etc.

Their prices on some items wont be the cheapest but overall are reasonable. If you want shoes fitted I highly recommend talking to the staff here

I was there-just today-getting a new pair of treads. It was very busy--as usual, however, I've been getting my sneakers there for a few years now and I do really like the place. They're pretty nice, and they have a great selection!

Bought ON. Great shoes, just hard lesson as far as the insole is concerned. Washe em but do not dry them (in the dryer). Otherwise you'll have rollups as your new inserts. The marathon sports has been by far the best experience buying shoes. Thank you Luke, for your patience and advice. Thank you for just an outstanding experience - buying shoes.
