Does anyone know of any good running specialty stores in San Francisco? Headed there with my wife for a few weeks and didn't bring much in terms of running gear. She needs new shoes anyway.
Prefer a place that can give us some pointers on running areas and logistics of getting around town!
i hear great things about this place:
I'm incredibly biased having worked there before recently moving (and it being run by my HS coach), but if you want to drive an hour north into Wine Country, check out Heart & Sole:

It's your typical local, independent running store that is all about enjoying the sport and having fun (uniforms hanging from ceiling, real running pictures all around store, staff are actually runners/racers) while still having good service and selection.
Santa Rosa is also a cool town and we have an awesome state park (Annadel). Plus great wine tasting all over and one of the best breweries in the country (Russian River).
So if you have a car and want to experience some more of what NorCal has to offer, drive on up!
