It's a great store. I've been buying my shoes here for a couple of years. The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable. First time I went in, I was looking for a pair of minimalist shoes when they were all the rage. The staff then spent the next 20 mins looking at my shoes, my gait, asking about my current fitness level, and then very politely recommended the shoe I actually needed. This continues to today, where I go in with an injury and we spent 30 mins talking, looking at my last set of shoes and even putting me in the less expensive model of shoe, because it better fit my needs.

They are definitely not elitist and not pushy. Beginner or advanced I'd recommend them hands down.
