Combining the convenience of online shopping with their 45 years of expertise in shoe fitting, Phidippides is changing how online running shoe shopping works. Worried that you’ll order the wrong shoes online or that your local store doesn’t have consistently knowledgeable staff? The virtual consultation process of Phidippides will make sure that you’ll get shoes that you love. The best part is that the process is free (with purchase of shoes) and the prices are the same as you’ll find online or in a big-box store.

I started Phidippides in 1973 with the goal of helping runners and walkers get the best shoes and apparel available and giving them the tools and support to get active. Since then, we have remained dedicated to those goals while evaluating each advancement in technology to determine if it aligns with our mission. We’ve seen fads come and go, the “popular” shoes change back and forth, and true breakthroughs in shoe technology.

With that history as a background, Phidippides has just launched the next level of their shoe fitting service. No longer do you need to physically be in the Atlanta store to get fit by our experts. Using a live video connection and the new “Phidip ID” fit process, you will ensure that the 5 aspects of your shoe needs and preferences are met, having fun in the process!
