What’s better than starting off the morning of December 25th with a Christmas run?  Nothing. This holiday season give your loved ones a pair of running shoes that will make them not only happy but feel a rush of motivation to begun the new year fresh. Running shoes might not be as fashionable or as popular as winter boots or a piece of jewelry, but they are easy to get and essential gift for any person of age. Whether they are used for exercise or for a sporty fashion look, running shoes are something that is needed for any person.

But this Christmas, rather than go to a chain store to pick out a random shoe on a wall because it’s your favorite color, why not get specially fit for the proper running shoe? Shop at your local small business that not only does good for your community, but for your feet as well. Small specialty shops, like Runner’s High, located at 130 Schanck Road, make sure you’re are fitted for the proper running shoe by analyzing your gate and selecting a shoe that would work best for your foot. It may seem like a tedious way to pick out running shoes, but it is assured that you leave feeling comfortable and happy, ready to burn off those Christmas cookies.

Running shoes normally range from $99.95 all the way up to $169.95. For some it may seem expensive but getting properly fit for running shoes that feel comfortable on your feet will definitely last in the long run. So why not invest in running shoes this Christmas? Make it the “gift to give” this holiday season.
