With its motto of putting “passion in your soles,” Boulder Running Company is the clear choice of the Runnerati. Whether you’re racing, hiking, walking, running, training or just looking for some comfy shoes, BRC has you covered. The company is renowned for its video gait analysis that helps determine the best shoe for your unique foot and stride. Runners swear by it. Putting the best shoes on your feet – footwear that actually affects your good health – would be a daunting undertaking but for BRC’s whip-smart staff. And shoes are just the start. All-season apparel and accessories abound for women, men and kids. Yet, stocking great products is not what sets Boulder Running Company apart. Owner Mark Plaatjes explains, “The product doesn’t make the business. You can get many of the same products that we have somewhere else. We differentiate ourselves by taking care of the people who walk through the door. In some cases, two and three generations of families come to us. We know them.” It is an emphasis on community that creates such longstanding trust with customers. “Boulder County Gold is an important honor for us because it tells us the community thinks we’re doing a good job. We sponsor many local events because we believe in the investment in community,” says Plaatjes.

Whether you’re running, walking, skipping or hopping, wearing the right shoes can make all the difference. The hard part is finding that perfect shoe, the proverbial needle in a massive haystack of choices. Worry no more. Boulder Running Company has both the haystack inventory and the needle-seeking service you need to get moving. The specialty running store has a broad selection of running and casual shoes, and it was the first running store in the country to offer free video gait analysis to customers. Here’s how it works: you walk or run on a treadmill in front of a camera, one of Boulder Running Company’s expert employees analyzes the tape to see what your feet and arches are doing during each stride, and then, armed with that information, you work together to find the perfect shoe for your specific anatomy and chosen activities. It’s easy to see why Boulder Running Company has long been a favorite of local athletes as well as the throngs of runners who flock to Boulder for high altitude training.
