Extra Mile Fitness Company - Valparaiso, Indiana

Just wanted to shout out Extra Mile for going above and beyond today! I had recently purchased a pair of New Balance Running shoes to prepare me for my first Half-Marathon Race. They fitted me and informed me since I have lost a significant amount of weight over the last few years that I had actually gone down a size in shoes, something I would have never known if I didn’t get fitted by them.

Fast forward a month later, I purchased a walking pad to use while working and found out after walking for extended periods of time that it wouldn’t into the sole of my New Balances, compromising the shoes. I went to Extra Mile thinking they would not let me exchange the shoes, but to my amazement they let me exchange for a new pair! Even without a box. I was so happy that they went above and beyond I decided to purchase a new pair of everyday athletic shoes right then and there.

Overall I will never purchase my running shoes anywhere else but Extra Mile, And to top it all off, the store is locally owned and operated and supports local causes! Shoutout to Ali for helping me get fitted and going above and beyond in exchanging my shoes. BRAVO EXTRA MILE!!!

In desperate need of some new workout shoes, I was provided this place to try. My current shoes are about 2 years old and were great in the beginning, but they slowly turned on me, causing much foot and ankle pain. Like my experience at the New Balance store, the young lady who helped me asked me some questions about my previous pair and any issues I was struggling with. After trying on several different brands and models of shoes, I finally found the gold mine of comfort. I have a wide foot and decided to size up half a size from before since I always felt I didn't have enough wiggle room. Also purchased the inserts for arch support, and the shoes felt amazing. Great experience!!! 👍

I went in today and Mason was a great help. He knew all the shoe info to get me in a great shoe. I'll definitely be back.

I was so frustrated with trying to find the right shoe for my feet. Years of pounding the floor for work reeked havoc on my poor feet.

I had a shoe that supposedly was the one of the best leading contenders on the market but over time, it started to fail me.
When I pressed professionals for their opinion on the fit of said shoe, they all responded with "great shoe for you". Turns out it wasn't at all.

Enter "Extra Mile Fitness Company"!
I walked in with an interest in Brooks Shoes as I had been researching the possibilities and was very impressed with all the reviews.

I was approached by a woman whom I later found out was the owner of the business. She started out by measuring my foot. Incidentally, my feet were different sizes, but she knew exactly what to do. She brought out a few sizes and models of Brooks shoes with varying widths. One by one we tried them all, but the magic happened when the right fit was put on my feet. Then, the owner had me take a walk and on my return, she put up a mirror in front of my feet to show me
how they looked.

Surprisingly, the new shoe was quite a bit lower by the heel. Bingo! The arch of my old shoe was way high for my feet. Even though I complained to others that I believed the heel was too high off the ground, no one agreed. Well, except

My new Brooks felt so great I wore them for hours on the first day. Weeks into this, I am still extremely happy with the fit of these shoes.

It gives me great pleasure to "highly" recommend Extra Mile Fitness Company. My experience can be yours if you need expert assistance finding shoes.
My feet and I couldn't be happier!

Excellent store! I ordered a pair of Hoka’s from their website that were sold out in my size everywhere else. The shipping was very quick - I received the shoes within two days of ordering. They even included a nice note in the box thanking me for my order. Thank you Extra Mile Fitness Company!

Libby is a great customer service rep. She was full of so much knowledge and really took her time with me. She measured my feet and stood back and observed how I walk so she could find the best fit for my situation. She knew which shoes that I should stay away from and brought out 7 different pairs for me to try on until I found the most comfortable pair. I will never buy another pair of shoes ever again. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

This is my new review from our visit this week: I reduced my review down to 1 star. We went there for my husband to get a new pair of shoes. The girl who helped us was very knowledgeable and attentive. She did a great job. The shoes he wanted weren't there so we tried to Google the newest version so we could ask if they had those in stock (this was while our person was helping another couple briefly). While my phone was open, another lady looked over my shoulder at my phone and then started questioning what I was looking up and said they could answer our questions . It was weird. She was abrasive. We asked if she could order the shoes, she basically said no, she doesn't do special orders so we decided to leave and go elsewhere. When we were headed to the door, she offered to order the shoes for us. Nah. That's ok. We did end up getting shoes at Feet Fleet. It was worth the drive. On the plus side, I love that they have a treadmill to test your shoes on! After 2 subpar visits, it's going to be a while before we try again.

This was my original review from 2 years ago: Low selection, they don't carry toe socks anymore. Bought an older pair of shoes than what I went there for because they didn't have the newer versions in stock. Will go to a bigger store next time. The two younger girls working there were very helpful.

Edited to add after owner response: I went there for the Olympus 5 but they weren't in stock there. So then I tried to go with the last purchased shoes from there but you didn't have those in any version either. I ended up with the older model of the Olympus which was the only thing in the size I needed that was comparable. Then I tried to get Injinji socks but you don't carry those anymore either. So all in all, I settled for a shoe that is good, but not what we wanted because the newer models were not in stock there.

I was fit by Heather for shoes as well as inserts. She was patient and fit me with great shoes!
