Pacers & Racers

Pacers & Racers is a running and walking shoe store with a fitting process built around how each customer moves. The store watches customers run or walk to analyze their biomechanics, examines their old shoes for wear patterns, and measures both feet for length and width before recommending a pair. Staff also talk through breaking in new shoes, caring for them and knowing when to replace them. The shop sells shoes and running merchandise, and it keeps a race calendar and running group for local runners and walkers.

The New Albany store is at Northgate Court, and the business also has a Jeffersonville location on East 10th Street. Fittings are walk-in, and customers often mention that the staff take their time without pressure to buy. Hours at the New Albany shop are Monday through Friday, with a shorter Saturday schedule and Sunday closed.
