Editorial Review for Seattle Running Company – by Marika McElroy
The Scene
Staffed with fanatical and accomplished trail-runners, this is the place to buy gear for charging up mountains at full speed--or for just strolling around Greenlake. In addition to two walls of shoes for every pace and gait imaginable, the gem here is the stride analysis station. After a videotaped run on the treadmill, a staff member plays back customers' gaits in slow-mo, pinpoints the weaknesses and suggests the ideal shoe. Although most of the staff work out at a near-bionic level (they have to for those 100-mile trail runs), they aren't beyond advising weekend runners and casual walkers.
The Goods
Hard-to-find Montrail trail running shoes, Patagonia, Sugoi and Asics wear, Dansko clogs and an earful about your feet. This is no Big 5. Expect to pay full price for top-of-the-line sneakers.

Insider Tips
Drag Yourself Out of BedEnthusiasts up by 7am on Sundays can get in on trail-running excursions to Tiger Mountain, Cougar Mountain or the Alpine Lakes (meet at the store).
Refine Your RunFor a more extensive stride analysis make an appointment with physical therapist Scott Jurek at Foot Zone. With help from some schmancy software and more video cameras, he advises runners on improving efficiency and reducing injury.
