The Sweat Shop
A running store?
Well you better go catch it!
Where is it going to be? Maybe you can incorporate the town or neighbor or something like that in the name. Here in Atlanta, there is Big Peach running co (Big Peach for Georgia) and a place called West Stride (it is on the West Side of Atlanta).

Try leaving the word running out of the name while still letting "runners" know you are a running shoe store. It is tricky but could be beneficial. You want the joggers/walkers bussiness, so appealing to the "my podatrist sent me" group can help your bussiness greatly. Also, shoes still sell in this economy. People still see them as a necessity that needs to be replaced so their feet don't hurt. Its apparel sales that are hurting. Also, people want specialized service (especially if their feet hurt!) so a store will continue to compete with online shoes. For instance, Nike shocks have done more for running stores than any other shoe by giving people problems! Here are some of my ideas for names.
Endurance Specialty Shoes
Endurance Shoes
"town name" Quality Shoes
Specialized Shoe Company
Olympia Performance Sports
We Got The Runs!
In the present economy? Good luck.
How about Running Scared?
This one keeps making me laugh, only because I think he was dead serious, and these names are so bad.
