    They got me into running and helped me out of injury and improve form. I also always get my shoes from them! They know what they are talking about and ran at a collegiate level!

    I went into the store not preparing to buy a pair of shoes right away, however, I ended up buying the most comfortable pair of running shoes i have worn so far. The girl there was very helpful and patient with me, making sure I have the right shoes for my feet. The shoes were a little pricy, however, they absolutely worth the money. My previous running shoes were not cheap and kind of comfortable too, however, the shoes from Gingerbreadman are A LOT better. I will highly recommend you to go there if you are looking for something really good for your feet.

    Matt and company went above and beyond to help me get comfortable with my decision to get back into running. My last pair of good running shoes was purchased about five years ago. What i am aware of now is how the quality and choices have expanded. Matt educated me on today's brands and took the time to make sure i was getting the right shoe for my running style and foot shape. I look forward to joiining in on the "fun runs" that he sponsors as well as getting to make new running friends in the community.

    My mom is recovering from breaking 2 bones in her ankle and 2 surgeries to fix that. We needed a lot of help to find a good shoe for her therapy. The young man today was amazing. He knew exactly the right shoe for mom. He was friendly and so helpful. We were very grateful for his expertise today. Mom will be up and running in no time with her new shoes.

    Matt helped me understand what I even wanted out of a shoe in the first place. And after observing my running style, gait, etc. he suggested what became my favorite running shoe ever. Great experience! I just remembered to write a review when I was looking at their hours so I can go buy another pair!
