  • The skinny on barefoot running & walking! We love the idea of running or walking barefoot. However, we looked in the mirror yesterday and remembered that we're your local running store, thus, we felt obligated to fastidiously fill you in on the particulars first! In addition, we want you to know that the Vibram Five Fingers (those little rubber shoes with the toes) are coming to our store this fall, so look for them soon. In the meantime, we have great minimalist footwear that can be a great transition shoe to EASE you into some barefoot trekking. Remember: Our ancestors ran & walked barefoot, but they certainly didn't live in our concrete paradise. Find soft terrain when applying the barefoot approach and when you're back on your asphalt neighborhood streets, try switching back to your regular trainers (or a lower-profile/flexible shoe at least) Click here for a pretty balanced article about the subject.

    MORE THAN JUST SHOES: At Foot Traffic, we believe a running and walking store has a much larger responsibility than simply selling running shoes and apparel.

    In addition to providing Portland and Lake Oswego with great products and services, we strive each day to find ways to improve the communities around us via healthy, fun, and active lifestyles. Whether it's coaching and organizing youth track and cross country events, raising money for our schools through our races, or simply donating gift certificates to the local grade school auction, we aim to make any community we're in that much better.

    The idea is simple: we're your neighbors and we are committed to the advancement of where we live.

Happy Spring from Foot Traffic!

    YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS: The next time you see us going for a jog through the neighborhood or shopping at the grocery store, we hope you'll take a chance to say hello. After all, treating our customers like friends and neighbors is not only fun and satisfying, we believe it's the only way to do business.

    BUY LOCAL: Only in a perfect world exists an ideal symbiosis between supportive businesses and supportive customers. Unfortunately, small businesses now have to contend and compete with "Big Box" retailers and businesses that choose to put a premium on profit over people. As a result, we are truly indebted to those who choose to support local businesses. Thank you.
