Be an original, not a copy - That's why we've been around since 1981.  Whether you're a competitive runner, run for fun, just starting or walking, we're here to fit you individually as an original, not a carbon copy of someone else.  Unlike large chain stores, we talk to you about your goals, dreams and requirements and help you find the right shoe for your feet.  

Our staff, experienced in running, track & field and fitness activities, includes competitors chasing the 4 minute mile to people searching for the 4 hour marathon and everything in between.  From collegiate to recreational runners, we all take the job of finding your shoe seriously. What you won't find is untrained help, inattentive service and an attitude.  Visit one of our stores in Jenkintown or Ridley and see our passion for helping you become an original and our desire to earn your trust.

We've seen it all and know how to help. Our gait-analysis process will help you get back to running, walking or working after injury or just find a better shoe.
