The staff at Fleet Feet Sports are generally knowlegeable about the shoes that they're selling, and will be able to help anyone get a good shoe that will fit properly. Unlike the big name shoe stores, they'll let you "test drive" a pair of shoes around the block, which is the only real why ot tell if a shoe really fits you or not. As a runner myself, people will often ask me what kind of shoe is good, and I always tell them that they should go to a dedicated running shoe store, because everyone's feet are different, and it's important to have the right shoe for any serious distances.
