Therefore, it is no surprise that the store is more than just a place to be fit for a good pair of shoes. We have everything you need from nutrition products to apparel to accessories and a friendly face helping you the entire way.

Everyone has their own needs and we want to make your experience unique to you. No two feet are alike so why would we treat everyone the same? We enthusiastically respect and tailor your experience to your particular needs, whatever they may be, walk, run, couch to 5k, marathon, ironman, beginner or veteran.

Principally, we value education. Every Greater Boston Run Co employee willingly endures rigorous and continuous training--constantly consuming the latest information on products, trends, biomechanics, kinematics and everything running. Our goal is to be able to deliver you the clearest, most subjective information so that you can make decisions for yourself. Above all, we stand by our mission to educate and inform.
