I was training to walk a marathon and started having a joint issue. Someone recommended I go to Fit Right for some help. The salesperson put me on a treadmill and saw that I was pronating and recommended several different shoes in different price ranges. Of course, it was the expensive one that felt the best. But as I could see the difference when they videotaped me I was sold. The staff is extremely knowledgable. But it is sometimes understaffed when there are more than a couple of people in the store.

Whether you are looking for shoes, sports bras, or other athletic gear, this place has what you need. The clothes are moderately priced, brand-name, and the staff is helpful and educated; many of them are runners themselves. You can also sign up for various running and walking events. There are two locations, one in Portland, the other in Vancouver, WA.

After wearing out pair after pair of department-store running shoes, I decided to go to the experts. Their free gait analysis was awesome, and their sales staff were very friendly and helpful. They didn't try to push one brand over another, and they let me take several pairs for test run around the block. I couldn't be happier with my Sauconys!

I've never seen a store with so many knowledgable employees. They put me on a treadmill and video recorded my walk. They chose the shoes for me and fit them to my foot. I now have a higher expectation of shoe stores after visiting Pace Setter Northwest.
