Tortoise and Hare Sports

Tortoise and Hare Sports is a running and walking shoe store in the Arrowhead area of Glendale, selling athletic shoes from brands such as Hoka, Brooks, Altra, New Balance and Saucony, along with socks, insoles, sandals, hats, sunglasses and apparel. The store also carries nutrition and hydration products and gift cards, and it runs community events, group runs and product launches.

The store's main draw is its 5-Point Fit Process, which uses 3D foot scanning and hands-on fitting to match shoes to a customer's feet and goals. Fittings take about 40 minutes and need no appointment, and staff will keep helping walk-ins until they are finished. Customers can also call or email with questions, though the store prefers to see people in person before recommending a shoe. Local pickup is available, and returns are accepted within 45 days for exchange or store credit.
