PowerStep MAXX
Garmin 110 GPS Watch
Garmin just keeps getting better for runners. What’s been missing from Garmin’s line is a (relatively) inexpensive, wrist unit with no bells and whistles that does not take an engineering PHD to operate. Enter the Forerunner 110 as the easiest way to track your training. It’s GPS-enabled so it knows how far and how with virtually no setup required, so you can just press start and run or walk with it. The real plus is the new even smaller case that fits on thin wrists more comfortably. The 110 is priced at $200 without heart rate and $250 with. A few units have just arrived, so come in an check them out.

Diabetic Socks from Feetures
You don't have to be diabetic to appreciate the comfort of the Feetures Diabetic Crew and Anklet. They are seamless and made of a new soft fabric with no roughness and woven in such as way as to be completely non-binding, even if you have some puffiness in the ankle or calf.  The black crew (for some inexplicalble reason only available in Medium and Large) makes a GREAT dress sock for dark slacks and shoes!
The Powerstep name is well known as one of the most supportive over the counter arch supports available. Powerstep  features a design that rivals that of custom-made prescription orthotics. Made of a polypropylene shell encased in a unique double-layer cushioning, it has a well-contoured stabilizing heel cradle and built in platforms under the heel and leading edge. The special anti-bacterial ETC fabric cover prevents slippage, and reduces friction, heat, and perspiration.

Now, for those desiring even MORE support, the new Powerstep MAXX is available with all the same features as the Pinnacle, but with additional support provided by a full heel post which dramatically increases the resistance to medial or lateral roll of the foot. There is no correction built in (that's what custom orthotics are for), but it provides much more support than anything we have seen in the over the counter arch support market. It's a deeper heel cup, with perfed edges for comfort. 

Powersteps  provide effective relief of plantar fasciitis and other common conditions, generating rave reviews and loyal customers. The MAXX is priced at $45.99, only $6 more than the Pinnacle.
