    Had a great Experience. They were very knowledgeable and helped me find the right kind of shoe. I have been running for several years but this year I am having a lot of pain in my calves. The new shoes feel great! It is awesome to see such a good store local to Meridian.

    Love the military discount, thanks for the support guys. Also love this store. First time in I didn't know what I needed. They had me run, videotaped my feet to see how they struck the treadmill in order to get me the right support. Amazing fit. Bought my second pair of shoes recently based on the first pair. I love not having to spend a ton of time deciding- I spent five minuets shopping this time through based on my previous results. Found the perfect running shoe almost immediately. They have a small selection of only the best of each brand. Not a bunch of mediocre filler shoes to dig through. So far I can trust them to sell me a quality product. Will be back again.

    I just had my second of (2) purchasing experiences with Pulse Running. The first was almost 2 years ago when I was looking for a trail running shoe; I found the shoe I liked (Altra Superior 2.0) but they did not have it in my size so they ordered it for me and also gave me a %10 discount for a reason not remembered. The Shoes did not arrive in time before departing to Oahu but as soon as they did arrive a couple of days later they offered to ship them to me and I received them a few days later.

    ... Awesome consumer experience and I will continue to drive to Meridian for my future purchases.

    I came in to buy a pair of shoes, I got way more than hey what color do you like. Yeah the red ones are nice bro. They put you on a treadmill do an analysis of your foot gait and help you decided which shoe fits best and functions the best...strange right which shoe functions the best. Why would you want that! Beth the manager was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and I just walked out with a new pair of great shoes. I would highly recommend going there to see what you need not what you like.

    The Pulse is a great shop for runners with a staff that really knows running. I was having knee problems running and they did a free gait analysis which clearly showed I over-pronate and they helped get me into a shoe that may help reduce the pronation and thus my knee pain. The owner is really friendly, and a great supporter of the local community. I'll be coming back here next time I need a pair of running shoes or accessories.
