Reserve to try, not buy.

Footwear Guru can help you find a strong starting point. Tell us which shoes you’d like to try, and we’ll confirm availability and have them waiting when you arrive. There’s no commitment to buy.

How it works.

Narrow it down

Ask Footwear Guru to compare options based on what you plan to use the shoes for, or browse what’s in stock below.

Request a hold

Call or email us with the model and size. We’ll confirm what’s in stock and place it on hold (up to three pairs).

Try them in store

Once confirmed, your shoes are held for 48 hours. Try them on, compare alternatives, and let feel decide.

Pick your store.

Browse what’s in stock.

Our online inventory pages show many (but not all) of the brands we carry. Nike, Mizuno, and New Balance aren’t shown online, and stock changes daily. The surest way to know is to ask us.

Not sure what to reserve?

Ask Footwear Guru first. Compare options for your feet, your miles, and your goals, then reserve the two or three pairs worth trying side by side (three is the most we’ll hold at once).

Reserve to try at your store

Once we confirm by reply, your shoes are held for 48 hours. No commitment to buy.

Please choose no more than three pairs so we can hold them for you.

Either way, a pre-written email opens — just press send. We’ll reply to confirm your hold. Prefer neither? and email it to us.
