1ST RUNNING STORE IN MICHIGAN

UNMATCHED EXPERIENCE GETTING YOU THE PROPER FIT!

From humble beginnings selling running shoes from a trunk to the local running scene back in the early 70's to the Greater Flint Area's largest specialty running store; Bauman's Running & Walking Shop is your one-stop shop for everything Running & Walking.

OVER 48 YEARS DELIVERING
YOUR PERFECT FIT

Our #1 priority is getting you in the best possible shoe for you.  With the widest running & walking shoe selection in Genesee County and our knowledgable staff's dedication to our shoe fitting process, we guarantee you will leave the shop feeling confident that you have found your perfect fit or your money back.

YOU DON'T PICK THE SHOES; THE SHOES WILL PICK YOU

Our lengthy experience fitting athletic shoes for our customers has made one fact abundantly clear; no matter what techniques or technologies you use to fit the customer there really is no alternative to just trying out all of the top models. 

Our huge selection of the top models in specialty running and walking allow us to assess your foot type, body mechanics, and any pain points you're experiencing to recommend a shoe support category.  We then give you a "feet-on approach," with all of the very best models in that category.  There really is zero alternative to getting fitted by professionals who live and breath emerging footwear.

Jim Lanave

"Best running store I know. It's staffed by real runners. The positives are numerous. Great location. Wide selection of shoes and gear. . . . The stuff you really need. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The owner might be the nicest guy you will ever meet.  The negatives . . . If you get caught up in a conversation about running philosophy or strategy or a big race that happened 2 days or 40 years ago, you might be there awhile."
