Whether hiking or running marathon distances require the right shoe and proper fit.  Coach Gunn has long promoted the need for a good "boot fitter."  He recommends the Fleet Feet Mishawaka store in his training lectures.  The staff is knowledgeable and their in-stock shoe selection is very good.   And he appreciates the discount offered to his training team members.
