ELM Shoes is excited to introduce ELM Active, a brand-new store dedicated to premium active footwear and gear. This expansion brings new energy to the historic Carl’s Drugstore building at 6 E Baltimore Street, transforming it into a vibrant hub for fitness enthusiasts, runners, walkers, hikers, and more.
A Legacy of Movement and Innovation
The vision for ELM Active comes from Gavin Martin, the fifth generation of ELM Shoes. A few years ago, Gavin embarked on a personal health and wellness journey that deepened his passion for running and performance footwear. His dedication, along with the expertise of Loren Martin, has driven the expansion of ELM Shoes’ athletic selection over the past six years.
As the demand for high-quality active footwear grew, so did the need for space. The search for the perfect location led to Baltimore Street, where ELM Active is now being developed to complement the trusted ELM Shoes experience.
Your Destination for Performance & Comfort
ELM Active isn’t just about running—it’s about movement in all forms. Whether you’re a dedicated runner, a weekend hiker, a fitness enthusiast, or a pickleball player, ELM Active is committed to providing the perfect footwear to support your journey.
The new store will feature an additional 4,000 square feet filled with top-tier athletic footwear and active lifestyle gear, ensuring you have the best support every step of the way.
Grand Opening Spring 2025
Construction is underway, and we can’t wait to welcome you to ELM Active in Spring 2025. This new space will bring together performance, comfort, and innovation—helping you move better, farther, and stronger.
At ELM Shoes, we’ve always been “With You Every Step”, and with ELM Active, we’re taking that commitment to the next level.
Gear up from the ground up—ELM Active is your ultimate destination for performance-driven gear!
