New Shoe Arrivals Including the Brooks Adrenaline 10
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 the Brooks Adrenaline 10.  The new plush Profile Sockliner and Asymmetrical upper overlays give the Adrenaline 10 a more secure and comfortable fit.  Brooks also gave the Adrenaline 10  a new crash pad that customizes the individual’s lay down for the right amount of cushion and stabilization, resulting in a perfect ride for every stride.  All these changes have been made, and Brooks has reduced the price of the Adrenaline 10 by $5!
 
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.
