Brady Velez

When did you start and how did you come to work at such a fine establishment?

I started working in August of 2024 and I came to this job because of my brothers actually. Two out of my three brothers work here and I’m just adding another Velez to the running store family.

What current sock, shoe, and insole setup keeps your little piggies happy?

My current setup to keep my piggies warm at the moment are the Ghost Max 2 with the Max support power step inserts. The socks I’m wearing are our own twisted socks or our running store midweight socks.

Where are you from?

I am from right here in Bristow Virginia where I have lived for all of my life 😃.

Give us just one of your many favorite TRS customer experiences.         

One experience that has been in my head since I started working here is when I made one of my first sales. It was an elderly lady and the look on her face when she felt so much relief from trying on the shoes I brought out for her brought me so much joy. It’s one of the main reasons why I love working here, and I hope to bring that same relief to customers in the future.

What do you do when you're not living the TRS dream?

When I’m not working at this fine establishment, I am usually at home hanging out with my dogs or playing video games with my friends and brothers. Outside the house I love to go golfing and hanging out with friends on the weekend.
