Best Crossfit Shoe Experience!!

Hi Frank!!

We came in on black Friday looking for cheer shoes for my daughter. While we were there, we were talking about crossfit and what would be a good shoe. You showed me the Topo shoes that had just come in.

I haven’t had a chance to stop back in, but wanted to let you know that after two weeks of wearing them at the gym, I am very happy with them. The zero drop has certainly improved my form! Just last night, we were doing back squats and one of the spotters noticed how much more stable my feet and toes were with my new shoes. I actually was using good form for the first time in six months!!

Thanks for all of your help.

Have a very Merry Christmas. We will probably be back in the Spring before the track season begins.

Orange Classic 10K

The 2014 Classic 10K is June 1st. What inspires me most about the Classic is that the overall experience positively impacts everyone; and it’s huge “give back” to the community. It is an honor to be part of an incredible team of organizers for the better part of nine years.

Perfect Shoes for Zumba

Vibram Five Finger shoes changed the way designers approach creating shoes – Forever! Since 2007, when I first began recommending minimal shoes to my customers, many of my shoe companies have created their own version of the minimal or natural design shoe.

By far, the New Balance Minimus is doing the best job to satisfy my customers participating in Zumba, Granted, there are other great models out there, but New Balance is the only company offering widths in my store.
