Tri & Run of West Orange — Local services in Winter Garden

Wonderful experience. I went in knowing the specific shoes I wanted to try on and/or purchase, but I also wanted to get some advice on alternative options. I did have the benefit of knowing my running shoe fitment (neutral vs overpronation/supination, arch type, etc.) from a previous analysis done elsewhere.

Jane and staff were exceptional in their knowledge of each shoe. It’s one thing reading a review and perusing top best lists online, but it’s quite another experience being in front of a specialist who knows her stuff. I told Jane my shoe of choice, as well as my fitment requirements, stats and goals. She educated me on the options and narrowed them down to a couple based on my needs, one of them being the shoe I initially wanted to try (NB Fresh Foam More v3). Jane took the time to talk through the pros/cons of each option. What I appreciated more than anything else was the fact that she didn’t try to sell me on something I didn’t need. She listened and was very intentional on pointing out the options that best fit my needs.

This little shop has been here since 2006. It’s currently the oldest shop in downtown Winter Garden and I will continue to return and support this local business.

I highly recommend you give them a chance if you need some new gear....

After walking past it for three year, I finally went inside after starting to look into running again after many years. Jerry at Tri & Run was welcoming and shared great knowledge and views on running even for the very beginner. I had looked up a fair amount of information and been advised by a few people, including a doctor, but it all seemed to come together with Jerry.

He studied my walk and brought out three of the most comfortable pairs of shoes that I had ever tried on. I have had nice shoes, however, the attention to detail and his understanding of my feet, my height, my walk and my weight has built my trust and my businesses here.

Sometimes a shoe can feel good, but is it really the right shoe for us? I believe that Jerry has an amazing understanding and selection to match. I have found the place and the person I am trusting feet to for a long time to come.

If you are running, getting back into running or even questioning if running is for you, consider stopping by and seeing Jerry. The difference in the right shoe might make the difference in the...

Great place for running shoes and athletic wear. Very knowledgeable staff who know running shoe issues, which brands are popular, and why. They will spend whatever time you need answering questions about which shoes you need, and even let you take them on a short test run. They also have a nice collection of Life Is Good t-shirts, along with other gear, nice sandals, socks, shoe inserts, and nutritional products. Both the store owner and employees have run many miles and competed in triathlons, so they understand typical athlete concerns. They have a couple of nice road races annually, which are recommended, and I think also have weekly group runs, although I've never tried those. You also can't beat their perfect location right on the West Orange Trail just beside the large fountain, in the old part of downtown Winter Garden. Overall, this is a great store! Would be nice to have some social events for local...
