Last night I attended a Komen 3-Day shoe clinic at Whirlaway Sports and the attention we received from Dave and Maggie and all the staff was phenomenal!
The clinic followed a short training walk that Dave had marked out for us with arrows on the route; he even met us halfway with water and sports drink!  Very thoughtful of him.

There were about 6 or 7 3-day participants at the clinic, some first timers.  Dave and Maggie talked about proper hydration, footwear, other clothing and gear.  Then for those of us who wanted to be fitted for shoes (I think we all did!) they did a very thorough job of first taking a good look at our feet and gait, and then did an assessment of the type of shoe that's best for us--do we toe in, roll out, have high arches, wide feet?  

I tried several styles of a moderate stability running shoe (endurance/long distance walkers should wear a running shoe we learned) and made my selection.

All of us who participated in the clinic received a $10 gift card, a discount on our shoes, free socks and t-shirt, water bottle, and several samples of Gu.  

The staff here is knowledgable and friendly and the shop has an astonishing assortment of clothing for all kinds of sports.  The first floor is devoted to golfing and there is a driving range next door.  
Upstairs you'll find a huge assortment of shoes for many sports and activities--wrestling, track, baseball and cheerleading, you name it.  And lots of clothing for men, women, kids.

Awesome.  I like patronizing this type of family run business that offers such great personal service.
