Shoes

Gary Westlund	Stocks a variety of shoes appropriate for race walking, including the Loco Bandito and New Balance RW111. Knowledgeable assistance in selecting a shoe that is appropriate for your foot. Brings the shoes directly to one of the weekly walks.
The Running Room 2801 Hennepin Ave S Minneapolis, MN	Ask for shoes for race walking - not walking. Make sure they offer you a shoe that is flexible in the forefoot and has a low heel. It will probably be a "road flat". This is only shoe store in town where the clerks have any knowledge of what you need as a race walker.
