About Goodmiles Running Company

Whether you're running around the block or training for a 10K, we welcome every runner and walker. And we'll prepare you for the steps ahead. With our top athletic shoe brands, staff expertise, and commitment to the community, we'll help you get the most out of every mile. Because we believe every mile can be a good mile.

Goodmiles is the newest team player at Midwest Shoe Merchants.

Since its inception in 1950, Midwest Shoe Merchants reliably sourced stylish and

comfortable footwear for the greater Milwaukee area. Today, under the

stewardship of its third-generation family owners, Midwest Shoe Merchants is

recognized as one of the nation's top independent shoe retailers. With 7 Midwest

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A FIT EXPERT / SALES ASSOCIATE

When our amazing customers come into our stores, they'll be welcomed by YOU - a person who gets it and loves to run and be active! Our Run Experts are here to answer all customer questions and to find the shoes that will get them across your finish line, whatever it may be. First, you'll use our Volumental foot scanner to measure their foot size, determine arch type, and analyze their gait. Then, you'll help them choose a comfortable, high-performance shoe that fits just right and gives support where they need it (and that looks good while doing it!).

Our Fit Experts can also help customers choose an insole for added cushion and support, to solve those post-run aches and pains (we've been there). We want to help our customers to be in the best shape of their lives and feel their very best every step of the way.

You'll help your customer navigate the best accessories for their run or walk from running shirts and shorts to waterproofing spray and socks.

In the end, whatever shoes, apparel, or accessories you help them choose, they can trust that their next miles will be good miles.

Qualifications For a Fit Expert / Sales Associate

• Sales Ability- retail sales experience is helpful but not required, we can teach you!
• Active lifestyle - we love runners, walkers, and athletes on our team!
• Ability to use a point-of-sale system
• Outgoing personality
  
  

Experience in sales, retail, or customer service would be a plus. Do you love shoes and running or walking? Can you easily establish a good rapport with people? Are you a true team player? If yes, you might just be perfect for this running footwear position!
