Running Wild, Sports and Fitness, Fairhope and Pensacola

“Feets don’t fail me now!” That’s really not the way it goes. This phrase is what I thought of after visiting with the founders and owners of Running Wild, a terrific running shoe and athletics store in Pensacola, where it was first established, and a second store in the heart of downtown Fairhope. The brainchild of Paul and Cherie Epstein, Running Wild is where you get the right shoes, apparel, and accessories for your running and fitness needs.
