Dave Reynolds and Eddie Johnson, the co-owners of A Snail’s Pace Running Shops opened a branch recently in downtown Monrovia.”We established A Snail’s Pace Running Shops in 1979 and have three stores in Orangeounty. We believe the Monrovia store will be a great location to serve the San Gabriel
Valley population. As a company, we are dedicated to serving the fitness community
including runners, walkers, and outdoor enthusiasts”, said Dave Reynolds.
A Snail’s Pace has an excellent selection of running and walking shoes from all the
major brands, fashionable and comfortable fitting apparel, and the latest line of
running accessories.
“We have built our success upon providing individualized fitting procedures”,
according to Eddie Johnson, co-owner. “We put every customer through a five step fitting process that includes a digital foot analysis to determine foot length, width, arch type, and pressure points on the bottom of the feet. We also do a gait analysisto determine the biomechanics of each customer. This information is used to recommend the most appropriate shoe for the
customer”, reports Johnson.
The company also operates ‘A Snail’s Pace Running Academy’ for customers looking to improve their fitness profile.
They have several 12 week training courses ranging from a beginning walker/runner to marathon training. The running
academy has experienced and certified coaches, provides clinics on training, diet and nutrition, and has a strong network of
