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?

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

Can't imagine buying running shoes anyplace else. Staff is fabulous, well informed. Good selection, with customized help in both fitting and choosing the right shoe. Bravo!
