What to expect when you visit
Walk in any time for a free gait analysis and shoe fitting. We measure both feet, watch you move, and match you with the right shoes from adidas, Altra, Asics, Brooks, Hoka, Mizuno, New Balance, Nike, On, Puma, Saucony and Topo Athletic. No appointment needed, and most fittings take 30 to 45 minutes.
Runners come to us from every corner of the St. Louis metro, from Tower Grove and the Hill to Clayton, Kirkwood and beyond. Join us Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm for our free group run and walk from the store. Running Niche is independent and family owned.
