Potomac River Running. They were so helpful.

I like Potomac River Running a lot. Fleet Feet is also good. Georgetown Running is also great (ask for Chris).

Don't go to a place like Foot Locker, Dicks, etc. They are just going to point to shoes and not know a lot about them.

Consultations are free. Shoes are MSRP, so it's courteous to buy from them.

I'm not a fan of Road Runner Sports. They are VERY pushy on upselling their "custom" orthotic insoles. I was warned ahead of time before I went (we had their VIP membership at the time) and it was still horrible saying "No, I don't want this" at least 5 times during the fitting.

I am flat footed like a duck and run only in Brooks for years. Love them..

Pacers, Fleet Feet or Road Runner Sports. The consultation will be free, but you should buy a pair of shoes from them afterward. After that, you can feel free to find them cheaper online.

I love Brooks. I've worn a few different models and they are just the right blend of firmness but with a spring to them. Get fitted for the right model, but they would be my recommendation!

Ditto. Get fitted properly.

No - like Pacers.

Ok thanks, i'll go check it out. What's the typical cost for consultation plus the shoe? I'm not familiar with running shoe stores. Didn't even know they existed.

I can't remember the exact name, but I love my Asics that were in the $100 range.

Asics.

I think I have Runner's Knees and I'm convinced part of the problem is the shoes I use for power walking. I've been power walking consistently for the past month, which is something I've never done before.
