For the time being, there are two running stores in the state, neither of which has really wowed me. Certainly, if other options become available I'd check them out... I try to keep my shopping as local as possible for most of what I buy. I get up to Maine quite a bit, so maybe I'll stock up at the Maine Running Company next time I pass through (drat, I was just there too). As an added note: I took my first run in the Trances tonight. I love the fit, but find they offer less cushioning than I'm used to. I don't mind that, but we'll see how my legs react after repeated use.
depending on where in RI you are, it may be closer for you to go to PR running in westboro, ma. i went there and they were great- lots of shoe types and patient staff. http://www.myprrun.com/
