Big Peach Running – Kennesaw

My Daughter (7) and I (39) are running in a 5K race for her school and we’ve been «training» (mostly consists of jogging for a few yards then walking) in our neighborhood. I injured my right knee about 5 months prior playing basketball and it was still bothering me when we would jog so I figured it was about time to get some new shoes for our race and maybe that would help ease my pain. After researching what shoe would be best for me I found a few retailers that had them in stock and Big Peach Running Co was the closest so we went in for a visit to see what they had.
I had seen on their website that they had a service where they would evaluate your foot with a scanner and then fit you accordingly. My wife, daughter, and I all had this done and then they brought out shoes that would best fit our feet, none of which were the shoe I had researched online. Had they not ran me through the evaluation, I likely would have bought the wrong shoe for me, instead I got a shoe that fits great and best of all when I was wearing it and testing it on the tread mill there was ZERO pain in my right knee while I was jogging! My wife has an issue with her right foot (she broke it when she was younger and it has always bothered her since) and her gait (sorry, I know that’s horse talk, but I can’t think of a good synonym) was a bit off (which they could see during the foot evaluation) causing more irritation on that area of her foot. They fitted her with a shoe that had extra support and she really loves it, when we got home and she put her new shoes on she was raving about how great her feet felt (I wore mine from the get go). When we got home we went out for a test run thru the neighborhood and everything was still great, no pain in my knee and even my daughter commented that her new shoes felt much better while we were jogging. The staff was super nice and really patient with us, at no time did we feel pressured to make a selection and you can really tell they want you to be comfortable and happy with whatever shoe you decide on. While I was there I also picked up a knee brace, they measured my leg and made sure it fit just right, letting me try on several ones and test out in the store to make sure it fit to my liking.
I’ve definitely been guilty of «cheaping» out on shoes before, but having experienced such great customer service and seeing first hand how comfortable their shoes were (and how much pain was eased in my knee) I’ll be buying all my shoes from here in the future. Having said that, I felt the prices were really not bad at all, I spent 119.00 (same for my wife’s shoes, my daughters shoes were around 65 I think) and these are by far the best shoes I’ve ever owned comfort-​wise (hard to beat those Reebok Pumps I had in 8^th grade for style! lol).
It’s so refreshing to actually walk into a store where people are truly knowledgable on the products they are selling. If you are unsatisfied with your footwear, you owe it to yourself (and your feet!) to check them out. Very, very pleased and highly recommended!!!

I love this store. I sign up for all of the Kennesaw Grand Prix races here and I can’t get out of the store without doing some shopping. They have a great selection of running clothes, shoes, socks, and accessories. The staff is friendly and I love meeting up with their running groups.

Very helpful staff who will take the time to help you find the shoe that’s perfect for you. they have a treadmill and foot analyzer thing that helps determine the type of support you need for walking or running. the selection is limited to a few brands, but they are good brands.

Big Peach knows running! I loved their analysis of the arch of my foot and the way I run so they could put me in a pair of shoes that are perfect for my feet. Much better than going to the big box stores and staring at a wall of shoes not knowing where to start.
The sales person that helped me at Big Peach was insanely knowledgeable about running and how it can affect your feet and legs, and helped me to quickly and efficiently find my match. I am the proud owner of a brand new pair of Brooks and can’t wait to break them in!

All of the Big Peach stores are wonderful. These folks put me on a treadmill and gave me a pair of shoes that don’t hurt when I run. It was pretty nice considering my odd foot size. I’m on my third pair of Big Peach shoes and have rediscovered running because of how comfortable the shoes are.
This is the place to go for walking or running shoes.

I went in here after hearing some good things about how they could test your feet to see how they hit the pavement and check your stride and then recommend a good shoe that would help reduce the wear on your feet.
We went in and met with Nate, the manager, and he helped us out quickly and efficiently. We saw how I had fallen arches and she had normal arches. I tended to pronate when I walked and he recommended a good sneaker that would help alleviate all of those conditions and since we were heading out to Disney, it couldn’t have come at a better time.
After spending a week in Disney, my feet were feeling absolutely fine although my legs were tired as anything! I would have to say that this was the best shoe buying experience I have ever had and I didn’t pay a fortune for the shoes like I normally do!
This place rocks!
