I have been purchasing running shoes, clothing, and gear etc. here since 2006 or 2007 so I am now on a first-​name basis with some of the employees. That being said, there is a reason I keep going back to the Trak Shak. They will work with you to find the right running shoe. The first time I went there, I needed help because some shoes I purchased at another store made my big toe nails fall off on both feet (yes, it was gross). They explained what caused the problem and got me into the right shoe. I have been running comfortably ever since that first visit. The store also truly supports the running community and their Wednesday night runs are always fun.

I love the Trak Shak folks. They are practically family by now. I’ve bought every pair of running shoes there since Cross Country in High School (when it was actually in a house).
Their regular Wednesday Night runs (5:30 at the curve) and involvement in so many local events is a testament to the fact that Val, Scott, Jeff, Tracy and crew love and support the Birmingham running community. That should speak for something.
If you walk in the Trak Shak, take advantage of their expert customer service, and then go order shoes online, may God have mercy on your soul.

I went in here a couple of times to pick up some things for the running enthusiasts in my life. One experience was very normal, they didn’t have the exact shoe I was looking for, but pointed me towards a similar shoe. The next experience was much more memorable: Whoever was in charge had to finish their Frisbee game on the sidewalk before they came in the store to help me, and then they were acting like they were doing me a favor when I bought a $ 175 pair of shoes. I am the first person to «overspend» in the name of supporting local business, but I require kind, helpful staff in exchange. I can buy on line, and likely will next time.

I love this place. They really know their shoes, and will analyze your stride and help you find what is right for your foot. Great prices, and centered around the art and love of running.

I had an issue this week with a pair of shoes I purchased and Scott at Trak Shak in Homewood was kind enough to work with me to get it resolved. A great incentive to support local businesses.

The Trak Shak seems to cover all of your running needs. I’ve purchased both shoes and compression socks from these guys and was happy with my service both times. That’s all fine and dandy, but it’s not what I think of when Trak Shak pops into my head.
You will rarely see a run in Birmingham that isn’t sponsored by these guys. Not only that, but they always seem to be an integral part of training for a race. They are a starting point for weekly organized runs through Homewood. They provide free water and Gatorade at the start/​finish line and some houses along the route have water as well. I start a lot of my runs from here, whether they are with a group or by myself.

I really like this store. They will observe the way you run and look at the mechanics of your stride and then make suggestions about which shoe you should wear. They told me I over-​pronate and recommended a stability shoe for my foot. The sales people are all very helpful and knowledgeable about running.
Also…they host a Wednesday night run (3k, 5k, or 8k… you choose) followed by free beer and pizza! The run starts at 5:30. It’s fun and a lot of people show up every week.
This is a great place for new runners like me.
