Valley Forge Running

I used to purchase from a local running store (NOT this store) to purchase my sneakers until the time I bought a different brand and after my first workout (a 5 mile power walk) I had horrible hamstring ‘issues’. I took the shoe back, as the owner had stated I could, BUT got a lot of attitude.
Fast forward to a 45 min drive from our home to eat at a small restaurant near a friend, I stumbled upon this running store. I was met with an enthusiastic manager/​owner, while I was just browsing, and explained the previous ‘situation’ to him. He was clearly very knowledgeable about sneakers and fitting people with various concerns and encouraged me to bring the shoes in question to him to figure out what I really needed. He stressed they would never give me a hard time if I had any problems with my purchase.
So I finally made another trip out there yesterday and, although I did not deal with the same gentleman I did the first time, received the same personable and knowledgeable service even though we arrive 15 minutes before closing. The didn’t have my shoe size in stock, but ordered me a pair that I plan on going back to pick up in a week or so.
Morale of the story… I would never hesitate to drive the 45 minute back to this store to get the sneakers I need. GREAT store, even better service!

We stumbled, luckily, onto this store while trying to locate a particular sneaker brand. The woman who waited on us was very knowledgeable about sneaker fit, especially for the flat footed runner. If u are in serious need of a good fit, I would definitely go here. I don’t know about price but we spent $ 110 on a pair of Sacouny (sp?) and felt the insight was worth the price.

If you are in the market for running apparel or shoes, THIS is the place to check out. The staff are very knowledgable and friendly and will take time to help you find a pair of sneakers that work for your foot type and running style. They are close to the Perkiomen Trail and have regular trail runs on Mondays, Saturdays and Thursdays as well.
If you are training for a race they will also send you a postcard wishing you luck before or sending one congratulating you after. Definitely a place for runners of all types (beginners thru serious).
