The ARC Experience

At American Running Company (ARC), it’s all about the experience. We’re dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals through a free, personalized fitting service for footwear, apparel, sports bras, nutrition, and accessories. We appreciate your support in purchasing from us so we can continue providing expert guidance to our running community.

Your Personalized Shoe Fitting

Understanding Your Needs – A trained specialist will discuss your goals, routine, and any injuries to recommend the best products for you.
Gait Analysis – We assess your foot mechanics while standing, seated, and in motion to determine the right level of support and cushioning.
Shoe Selection & Fit – You’ll try on multiple shoes while we evaluate your movement to ensure proper alignment and comfort.
Your Decision – Choose the shoe that feels best for you—only you know the perfect fit!
Beyond Shoes – We’ll guide you through additional essentials like nutrition, socks, sports bras, and recovery tools to enhance your performance and comfort.

What to Expect

Expert Fit Guarantee – If a product isn’t working for you after purchase, bring it back, and we’ll find a solution.
Shoe Lifespan – Running shoes last 300-500 miles (typically ~6 months). Factors like surface, shoe type, and usage can impact wear.
Injury Prevention & Recovery – The right shoes aid recovery and prevent injuries. While we’re not medical professionals, we can recommend helpful products and specialists if needed.
Racing Flats & Spikes – We carry road racing shoes, cross-country spikes, and track & field spikes seasonally. These lightweight shoes are built for speed and typically last one season.
