The Athlete's Foot

No...not the fungus or tinea infested foot, I am talking about The Athlete's Foot shoes company in general. My pair of New Balance runners were long overdue for replacement, so I took advantage of the new year sale and got myself a new pairs at The Athlete's Foot in Belmont. I have never shopped in any of the stores before and to my surprise, it was a truly enjoyable experience indeed. Not only they measured and recommended a pair perfect fitting shoes, the girl that was servicing us even told me I am an "overpronator" and required shoes that minimize pronation on the medial side of my feet. She recommended a pair of Wave Nirvana 6 by Mizuno, which is a superseded model and that meant good bargain. Jin got a pair new Nike runners too at the same time. We were there for more than 40mins from start to finish and not at any stage that we felt rushed by the girl, even though half of that time was passed their normal store closing time! Being in retail for a fair while myself, I know how annoying it is for customers to come in just before closing time, but to The Athelete's Foot, this is obviously not the case. That's what I call service! We know where we will go next time when we need new sport shoes, do you? :)
