I came in looking for running shoes, to my disappointment the salesperson was on an agenda of his own. I have fit shoes for 4 years and know what a good fit is, he tried to convince me that I need a ton of extra room in the toebox.
I don't care what this guy says, it's important to have a secure fit around the metatarsals. There is a fine line between having too much pressure along a potential bunion and supporting your metatarsals not to create unnecessary friction causing blisters during long runs. Unfortunately the sales person did not know that line, nor did he listen to my feedback regarding the fit and he lost a sale.
Also what concerns me about this store is how they make alterations to shoes. This can be very dangerous, because if you have musculoskeletal issues often times it can be corrected through PT/Stretching or Surgery. Making alterations to orthotics or shoes should be done with advanced technology..not with someone who has their own theories without credentials. Steer clear from the place if you want sound fitting advice. I apologize if this was just a bad apple and there are other good fit specialists who work here, but experience was bad enough that I will not give this place another try.
