Best sportswear store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PA) 2024

My fiance and I met with Luke today for a shoe fitting at the Walnut St location and he was fantastic. I have wide feet and always have issues picking out the right shoes. Usually I was a fan of Brooks and stuck to them but I started to have fatigue and pain in my shins and ankles on my right leg and decided to look into it further before I ran the Broad St Run again. Luke measured my foot and width, which matched my current shoes so at least I did one thing right, but then he had me walk and run on the treadmill without my shoes on so they could check my gait. Turned out that I overpronate so I needed a shoe for stability. I tried on 3 different pairs of shoes that fit my width and stability that I needed. The first pair was nice and better than my current pair, but the second felt fantastic and I didn't even try to run in the third when they didn't feel as nice as the second did. My ankle didn't roll inward and my stride felt much more comfortable and I felt like I could have gone for hours. After seeing how well and quickly my appointment went my fiance asked Luke if she could have him fit her. She just bought a new pair of running shoes and was curious if there was a pair better for her. She went through the exact same process as me and found a pair of shoes that fit her properly for maybe the first time in her life! Her other new shoes are now bike and cross training shoes instead and the ones Luke helped get pick will be her running shoes. Thanks Luke and Philadelphia Runner for helping us find the perfect shoes! ~Jeff
