I ran track and cross country in high school. During my junior year, I developed shin splints in both legs which developed into stress fractures diagnosed by a bone scan. My physician sent me to a podiatrist who recommended that I go to Priority Sports in Carbondale to get properly fitting and supportive athletic shoes. My first time at Priority Sports was 18 years ago. I have continued to rely on the knowledgeable and courteous workers at Priority Sports for every pair of athletic shoes I have needed over the years. I get all my work shoes from here as well since I’m on my feet all day, and running shoes are the best for me at work. The professional workers at Priority Sports have measured the length and width of my feet and evaluated my arches to ensure the proper fit of my shoes. I left their store today just as happy as I always do. I walked in wearing my old, worn out shoes which I purchased from here over a year ago. I asked the workers to show me the most similar shoes to the ones I had on. They let me try on and walk around in them.

Information that helps them put the correct shoe on your foot. I truly don't want to shop at another shoe store in this city. While I'm sure there are other stores that are good quality, for me, you can't touch the service you get at Priority Sports. I'm currently wearing the third pair of shoes I have purchased from them, and I've been very happy with every purchase so far. I don't see that changing. If you need shoes, especially athletic shoes, or even work shoes, Priority Sports is the...
Read moreSo I bought a $185 pair of new balance and was told they were made for runners and they would last. Today I went in there after a year of having the shoes and the actual soles have come apart from the shoe. I was told that the soles aren't meant to wear when it was wet outside? And the water eats away the Cushioning? I could of bout 3 pairs of regular new balance for the price I was charged cause I was told that they would last. I won't go in...
