Where in Chicago can someone with some foot problems get fitted for good running shoes?

I'll be back in Chicago for a few weeks in September, and want to get a good pair of running shoes. I've recently been diagnosed with falling arches, and have never done anything like having my gait analyzed either. I'd like to get a pair of shoes that will help to keep my feet in as good condition as possible, and need to know where to go to do that. (I have been fitted for custom orthoses, but won't receive them before this trip. Getting a fitting where I am isn't really an option.)

I generally hear that Fleet Feet is the preferred place for runners. They do the gait analysis to recommend the correct type of shoe.

Running Away on North Ave between Paulina and Marshfield does the same kind of thing, if that's closer to you.

Seconding Fleet Feet. They did my gait analysis and then fitted me with a pair of Brooks shoes that are the best I've ever run in.
