Getting You Fit
Did you know
there is a right kind of shoe for you? Run On! has an excellent, educated staff that will
help you find the right shoe for your foot type.
Step 1:
Our store is staffed by runners that are committed to your fitness success. We will ask
you about your current activities; such as how often you run or walk, and what your
fitness goals are.
Step 2:
Next, we will watch you walk! That's right, we ask you to take off your shoes so that we
can look at your foot as you walk. This helps us determine your foot type-do you pronate
or have high arches? We'll help you find out!
Step 3:
Based on our findings, we will bring out shoes that would work for your foot type. We
watch you walk or run around a bit, and answer any questions you have.
Step 4:
After you've picked out the best shoe for you, we will gladly answer any technical
questions you might have about shoes, accessories, and apparel. |

History
The birth of Run On's first Dallas store came in March of 1995 when Bob and Rebecca
Wallace purchased Phidippides. Concerned they may never be able to spell it correctly they
quickly changed the name to Run On. The two had been doing running event management and
race timing since the late 1980s. Bob had some previous running retail experience and a
notable running resume. This coupled with Rebecca's ability to talk to strangers made for
an exciting beginning. About a year later the store relocated from the original Greenville
and Lovers location to Mockingbird Lane. Soon after came the birth of the Richardson
store. Currently there are 5 stores in the family: Dallas, Richardson, Coppell, McKinney, And San Antonio. Meet Bob Wallace in an article from On Sports Magazine.
