I made my first and only visit ever here during the last week of March 2019. I needed BRC's help either repairing or replacing a pair of running shoes that would be needed on the journey home for a full marathon on 3/30/19 (Wamego, KS - Wicked Marathon). Who knew that running shoes might not be the best shoes for travelling up and down the Manitou Incline and the Flatirons? (I had a pair of Salomon Men's Speedcross 4 CS Trail Runner in one of my travel bags - but strangely decided against using them - a decision for which I'm still shaking my head in disbelief.)

Annnnywayyyy, the sales person (twenty-ish female) who helped me was very knowledgeable and direct. So welcomed - to not have to struggle through terms and specifications and confusion (as you are likely to encounter at a large general sporting goods store.) No, Boulder Running Company seems to know, at least with my quick interaction and purchase here, their running shoes! Beautiful! Competency. Love it!

And, to my great delight, they not only had my shoe (Saucony Ride ISO) and my size, which is always challenging (12.5 men's) they also had the color I like and get this - it was on sale - equal to or less than a stinkin' online price. Amazing.

My salesperson was quick, professional, educated on my purchase and needs and hooked me up. She solved the problem for me while I was on vacation, and far from home base, and I was able to complete my marathon in comfort and style. (These shoes are amazing - I'm a 225lb guy, and only had 48 hours of sightseeing/walking to break them in before putting them to the test of 26.2 miles of snow and rain - but my dogs were quite happy - no foot issues whatsoever - in basically a completely new pair of shoes. That's a testimony to Saucony, I realize, but the nice people at Boulder Running Company had EXACTLY what I needed, when I needed it. BLAM! In a Universe that seems to trick you every time you turn around, it's nice to have someone getting your back once in awhile. Thanks BRC!
