I'm an avid runner, and finally checked out Super Jock 'n Jill from a friend's recommendation. In the past, I just bought whatever was on sale at Big 5, but the service, fitting, and advice you get from the employees is unmatched. Every employee seems to be very knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about running.
I bought a pair, took it home, and was unhappy after a few runs. With NO QUESTIONS ASKED, they apologized and allowed me to fit a new pair, which I am very happy with. ...and they're very reasonably priced. Sure, you might find the same pair of shoes online for $15-20 cheaper, but the service you get here is incredible. Most pairs I tried on were right around $100.

I've been a runner for years, and as someone who also likes to get a deal, I've been buying discount running shoes for just as many years. I was recently convinced to try out Super Jock n' Jill, however, and I don't think I'll ever go back to discount shoes.
A trainer recently told me that the material in running shoes slowly degrades, so that even if you don't use them, they aren't nearly as effective after about 8 months. So buying from those discount stores, where shoes have been sitting in a warehouse (or other stores) for months, sort of defeats the point.
At Super Jock n' Jill, the salespeople always take your foot size and shape, your arch style, AND your running style into consideration before selling you a shoe. And they aren't selling you just what is most expensive. Most of thier shoes are around $90, so they are in it to sell you whatever shoe works best. I feel so confident now knowing that not only are my shoes fitted for comfort and performance, but to prevent injury.
Downfalls: not as cheap as the discount competitors, and not a huge amount of locations. Upswings: personal attention, quality merchandise, and discounts for trainiers and coaches.

If you are shopping for the right athletic shoe, make sure you stop by Super Jock 'N Jill ( http://www.superjocknjill.com ). The staff are super knowledgeable about their shoes (and the running scene) and make sure that you walk out the door with the right shoe. When I came in, they asked for the type of activity that I do, looked for pronation, asked about the arch support, heel support, toe box. They brought out at least 25 pairs of shoes and asked me to go outside and road test it. I was there for at least an hour but I discovered a new brand of shoes that I absolutely love. Great job guys!
Super Jock 'n Jill sponsors several running events throughout the city/year. At the St. Patrick's Run, Walk, Crawl, they usually give out coupons along with T shirt when you register.

Definitely by far the best running store I've been to. Friendly and knowledgable staff that is truly focused on getting you in the right shoe. They not only let you "road test" the shoes by running...
