Editorial Review for Super Jock 'n Jill – by Marika McElroy
The Scene
From high school cross-country stars to Microsoft marathoners to 80-year-old power-walkers, Super Jock 'n Jill outfits feet and forms of all skill levels. Employees analyze sneaker shoppers' gaits, offer a variety of shoes, and send customers outside for a trial run up the street. The store also takes an active part in promoting running, with race sign-ups, a free Monday night running club and in-house wear testing of new shoe models.
The Goods
Take your pick of sprinting, running, walking and cross-training shoes from Adidas, New Balance, Nike and more. Jock 'n Jill also carries Speedo swimwear, ultra-breathable and high-tech workout clothing from Pearl Izumi, Asics and others. You'll pay for the breadth of knowledge here. Shoes rarely cost under $75, and spendier models, such as the Asics Kayano cost upward of $130. But aren't your toes worth it?

I've heard from several people that SJ&J was THE place to go if you needed running shoes. I walked in and was greeted by staff immediately. Ty listened to my workout goals and chose several shoes for me. He was very disarming and helpful, he made me feel right at ease with all my questions and concerns. I left with an awesome pair of running shoes and will shop there again and tell everyone I know how helpful the staff is there. Thanks, Ty!
Pros: great selection, helpful staff

This is a great store for excellent customer service and a great quality product. The sales people take time with each person to ensure that they get the best fitting shoe for their foot. They have a large selection of brands and sizes. My boyfriend who has a 4E wide shoe, was happy to find a selection of styles to try on. Their prices are also the same as those found a department stores, so for the extra customer service that comes along with the purchase, there is no reason to shop anywhere else. They are great!
Pros: Customer Service, Great Prices
