Walk down Chestnut Street and Market Street in Philadelphia's Center City and you will have your plentiful pick of footwear retailers to purchase your sneakers from. You have the five Foot Lockers, Sneaker Villa, Samsung, City Blue, Unica and many other mom and pop sneaker shops to choose from. Many of them have a wide selection of fashion footwear such as country edition Air Force 1's, Kermit the Frog and Ms. Piggy Adidas and other things that cater to the young urban crowd. Yet none of the stores listed cater to people of all genders, tastes and athletic needs.

Then recently two Finish Line stores have opened up in Center City, one on 16th and Chestnut and the other in the Gallery Mall on 8th and Market Street. Since I work right around the mall that is the Finish Line I have been to four times since it's opening in April. What makes the Finish Line the best place to get footwear in Philadelphia is the immense selection of footwear they carry, let me explain. The Finish Line has the fashion-based footwear like you would find in Samsung, City Blue and Unica and they carry the running footwear you would find in Philadelphia Runner on 16th and Samson Street as well as every other style in between.
