A Snail’s Pace has an excellent selection of running and walking shoes from all the

“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.

They have several 12 week training courses ranging from a beginning walker/runner to marathon training. The running
