“When I was first introduced to Topo Athletic eight years ago, everything about their shoes made perfect sense — from the zero drop to the natural shape and the way they cradled the heel and instep,” store owner and avid runner Tiffany Cruickshank said. “Being selected once again as the only local retailer to carry the CHICAGO Specter 2 is both an honor and a dream come true. I’m beyond excited for our runners to experience (and see) these shoes firsthand.”
