1 review for Fleet Feet Sports
Fleet Feet Sports is one of the best running/walking specialty stores in the state of Washington. Voted Best of the Northwest in 2007 by Competitor magazine, they certainly deserve this award, as the staff is always friendly and willing to spend time with each and every customer. Not only are the staff friendly but they are extremely knowledgable about running and walking shoes, various foot problems and injuries, training plans, etc.
Also, unlike many other running stores in the area, their method of fitting shoes is very unique and thorough. They use video gait analysis and traditional measurements (something no one does anymore!) to determine what type of shoe is best for each customer. The video gait analysis is the best part, as you are able to see EXACTLY what your body is doing and they explain WHY you need the shoes you do.
All would-be and veteran runners should stop in here to check it out - amazing!

History
Established in 1976
Fleet Feet Sports began as a single store in Sacramento, California, opened by Sally Edwards and Elizabeth Jansen in 1976. In 1980, the business partners responded to interest in the success of their store by offering franchises. Sally led Fleet Feet, Incorporated for the following thirteen years, building the number of stores nationwide and developing a corporate staff headquartered in Sacramento. Tom Raynor purchased Fleet Feet, Incorporated from Sally in 1993. Under Tom's leadership, the company has grown to a very successful network of stores throughout the country, which receive support from a corporate staff located in Carrboro, NC.
