Sunglasses

Just as important as sunblock, sunglasses are an important accessory to your run. When looking for a good pair of shades you want to consider one that will block the UV rays, is comfortable, polarized to help cut down glare on the roads, and price. Here are the brands we carry:

Tifosi: Tifosi’s mission is to provide technically advanced eyewear to enthusiasts of all sports and outdoor activities. They design, test, and torture their products to enhance your sport whether you’re running a 5k, riding your first century (that is 100 miles!!) or playing 18 holes on Sunday.
Goodr: Goodr is a company started to destroy the boundary between working and having fun, between the utilitarian and the fashionable. Certain brands may inspire people who want to compete, but Goodr wants to inspire people who want to love life. They love running, love telling stories, and love looking good! Goodr is here to create fun and stylish products.
Knockaround: Knockaround is the original, affordable sunglasses company from San Diego, CA, founded by Adam “Ace” Moyer in 2005. Centered around durable shades that are both practical and stylish, Knockaround provides high-quality sunglasses that won’t break the bank. Knockaround offers fifteen different frame styles in a wide range of colors as well as ongoing Limited Editions, collaborations, and an interactive “design your own” CUSTOM shop.

Running Belts

Gone are the days that we used to tie our key to our shoelaces and head out for a run. Now we need a belt to carry our keys, cell phone, and gels. It is important for a belt to not chafe, bounce, and is easy to forget once you start hitting the pavement (or trails!).

Flipbelt: The FlipBelt is a simplistic piece of running gear for holding your essentials (phone, keys, GU, etc) during a run. The flat design keeps the pouch hidden from view making a great alternative to the traditional fanny pack style. The biggest downside is that you must slip it on as it does not have a buckle or clasp like a traditional belt.
Amphipod Micro Stretch: Other run belts can have a thick waist strap; this one is thin and lightweight. But do not worry, even though it is thin it does not bounce, and the super stretchy and breathable pouch expands to fit all your essential items. Because of the thin design, this belt is very light and breathable, perfect for long, hot runs!
SPIbelt: SPIbelt is a great, universal option and is a staff ‘go-to’ because the band shortens and lengthens easily, even on the fly. You clip it on—no stepping into it and adjust it to fit above or below whatever you are wearing. It covers an expansive range of waist sizes. The single pocket stretches to fit all sizes (even XXL) phones with enough additional stretch to squeeze in keys and cards.
Hydration Belts: Hydration belts take the traditional belt to the next level by allowing you to also attach bottles of water. When deciding a hydration belt, it is important to know about how much water you will need, accessibility of the belts, and how easily it is to clean the bottles.

Hydration

Running is supposed to be a simple, freeing sport that doesn’t require a lot of accessories. That is until you go on a long run then you need to ensure that you have a method to rehydrate. While stashing water bottles in plants along the trail is still very good option advancements have been made in carrying hydration with you. Choosing a hydration strategy comes down to personal preference from the minimalist style of a handheld to the hands-free backpack style.

Handhelds: Handheld water bottles are great as they do not bounce and since they are strapped to your hand, they are very easy to access the water supply. The biggest complaint with handhelds is that it can be heavy in your hand when you are tired, or you want to pitch it when it is empty, and you are still carrying it.
Vests: Vests are great because you are hands-free and can carry a significant amount of water. The reservoirs and additional bottle options offer a wide range of hydration options. Many come with additional pouches for your phone, keys, and GU.
Belts: Another hands-free hydration pack is the hydration belt!The hydration belt is a common method as it is not as hot as a vest and the pockets still allow you to pack away your phone, gels, and keys. The biggest challenge with the hydration belt is the bounce. You need to get a belt waist that is thick to help prevent belt bounce and wear the belt lower on your hips.

Headphones

Nothing can motivate you across the finish line faster than some mad beats. Music helps you get through some of the tougher runs and can elevate your good runs to even higher highs. But the right headphones that help not hinder your run are important.

Aftershokz: Aftershokz brand headphones took the industry by storm when they launched because you can still hear cars, bikers, and other runners when using Aftershokz headphones. These are bone conduction headphones that deliver unrivaled situational awareness & comfort with premium audio.
Jaybird Run: Jaybird run brings incredible, customizable sound in a super-small lightweight package, delivering a secure comfort-fit, up to 12 hours of portable battery life with included charging case, sweat-proof, and water-resistant. Free your run with no wires and no worries.

Garmin

The Fitness Tracker category is bombarded with options. At The Running Well Store, we carry the tried and true Garmin watch. Garmin has always been the leader in the fitness wearables category due to its GPS capabilities, sporty design and continually providing innovative products. Garmin is committed to performance and is known to produce a wearable that looks good, but more importantly, works well. They back that up with amazing customer service and product warranties. So whether you swim, hike, walk, run, paddleboard, ski, yoga, or any other wide variety of activities, Garmin has a tracker that will meet your needs.

Laces

Adding a pair of laces to your athletic shoes can enhance comfort, improve speed, and ease of putting on footwear. The best running shoelaces will ensure that you get the best fit from your athletic shoes.

Hickies: Hickies shoelaces are perfect for sneakerheads who want to pimp their ride or those who want a “set it and forget it” lace as they allow you to slip on and off your shoes. Hickies elastic lacing system is a different concept than most elastic shoelaces. They’re guaranteed to never come untied and you will like the sleek, tie-free look.
Bubble Laces: Bubble Laces are perfect for those individuals who want a secure knot but do not want to make the jump to elastic laces. With a bubble twist on the traditional flat shoelaces, these laces are more secure, and you can feel the support in the shoe.
Flat Laces: If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Most footwear comes with flat shoelaces so for those who are traditional and don’t want to mess with a good thing here are some replacement shoelaces.
Lock Laces: Lock Laces are perfect for individuals who either avoid or can’t tie and untie their shoelaces. The elastic lacing system saves runners and triathletes time as they slip on and off quickly in transition areas.

Odor Elimination

Most odors that emanate from shoes stem from bacteria that grows in dark, moist places — aka, your shoes after your feet sweat in them all day. To get rid of the smell, most shoe deodorizing products work to destroy the bacteria or preventing it from growing in the first place.

Sneaker Balls: Sneaker Balls have a spherical shape so they can roll around in your shoes and get into every nook and cranny, unlike some other deodorizers that can’t reach the toe area or other tight spaces. They twist open to release a fresh scent, and in between uses, you can close them for longer preservation. Depending on how often you use them, each sneaker ball can last up to six months.
Activewear Detergent: You work hard to be healthy and stay fit. Your detergent needs to work harder. Keep your clothing clean and odor-free with Active Wear Detergent, formulated specifically for those musky, set-in odors and hard-to-rid stains that come from sweat and other biological residues.

Visibility

It is imperative that when running or walking you make sure drivers notice you. It doesn’t matter if you run or walk in high traffic or lower traffic areas you need to make sure you are visible so you can ensure your safety. It is important that you are proactive for your safety and investigate light-up equipment, reflectivity, and bright colors to ensure you get lit and don’t get hit.

Vizlet Lights: Ultra-bright, versatile, wearable flashing LED reflector. You can clip these lights on your waistband, hydration belt, pack/bag strap, shirt sleeve/collar, vest, caps/hats, and more. Constructed with bright LED and reflective materials.
Hat Lights: The SwiftClip cap light is one of our more popular items as it can attach to any ballcap and light your path. Great paired with a bright, reflective, and lightweight running hat (yep, we carry those too).
Versa Light: Sometimes the most traditional items are the steadfast go-to items when we run. The versa light is an extremely bright, rechargeable LED clip light that will fasten to belts, straps, bags, and waistbands.
Optical Beam: The 360 degree light-up, lightweight vests are becoming all the rage in the running visibility category. That is because they are lightweight, rechargeable, and have LED visibility.

Yaktrax

Yaktrax is a traction device designed for icy and snowy days. They are perfect for pedestrians, runners, and driveway shovelers who do not want to bruise their tailbone wiping out on the slick surface.
