 New Shoe Arrivals, Including Vibrams FiveFingers Classic
Our shoe manufacturers keep updating their models and we continue to bring in the best, for you, our valued customers. This month we have added Vibram's FiveFingers footwear. Vibram FiveFingers allow you to relive the sensation of barefoot running. Unlike conventional shoes that insulate you from your surroundings, FiveFingers footwear deepens your connection to the earth and your surroundings. FiveFingers enhance your sense of touch and feel, while improving foot strength, balance, agility, and range of motion. Because wearing Vibram FiveFingers is so close to going barefoot, you’ll enjoy the health and performance benefits of barefooting without some of the risks.
Below is a brief list of some of the models that have arrived at FrontRunner this month. Next time you're in our store, ask to try one of these shoes. Maybe you will find a new friend.

Outperforming your performance wear?
If you are washing it with regular detergent, then you are. Residues left by regular detergents trap moisture which cause odor, and block their performance-enhancing features of your gear.
Penguin Sport-Wash is no regular detergent.
Penguin Sport-Wash is residue-free, non-allergenic formula is designed to keep high-tech fabric at peak performance and odor-free by washing away residues left by regular detergents, removing dirt, neutralizing bacteria, and restoring breathability, moisture-wicking, and factory applied waterproofing (DWR).
And Penguin Sport-Wash is biodegradable, so your conscience is as clean as your gear.
