Subject: Good store to buy running shoes in northern NJ?
I've heard many people say that you should buy your running shoes at a store where the staff is knowledgeable and will fit you after evaluating your step, but I've never seen a store where I felt the staff were that well trained. Is there a good place in northern NJ (near Montclair) to have running shoes properly fitted?  Thanks!

When we lived in NJ (Bloomfield), my husband and I got fitted for running shoes at Fleet Feet in Montclair.  They were Great!!! We moved from there 6 years ago, so things may have changed but when we lived there, they were knowledgeable, had a great selection and we're both still wearing the brands we were fitted for (and it's been 10 years).  They even let you take them for a spin around the block to see how they run (so make sure you bring the socks you would be running in).  Can't say enough good things about that store -

try roadrunner on route 4 in paramus.  i went there a few months ago and they took an imprint of my foot and then had me run on a treadmill and replayed it in slow motion and realized i was pronating.  they fitted me running shoes with a high arch on the inside and i have not had shin splints since.  happy running.

I love RoadRunner Sports.  Most of the people seem very knowledgeable, they've been able to solve any problems I've had and they have an awesome return policy.  I think I've bought ~14 pairs of shoes from them in the past year.

Fleet Feet in Montclair is great! Everyone who works there are extremely knowledgeable. I have been buying running sneakers from them for years.

Another vote for Fleet Feet in Montclair (Bloomfield & Midland Aves)
Ask for Paul G. he is a friend, and very knowledgable.
In general though, all the staff are great.
