Fleet Feet Sports

Great place to get running/​workout shoes. They can really get you into a good show for your foot, and if it doesn’t work, you can bring them back in xx amount of days. I love my shoes and I will be back for my next pair! I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Great selection and very knowledgeable staff. Shelby was especially helpful and she knew quite a bit about good shoes for people with orthotics. Thanks!

I’m not a runner, but I started walking several times a week for an hour at a time. I was not getting overly tired, but my feet were really hurting. A friend recommended I go to Fleet Feet.
I explained to the sales lady the pain I was having. She did several measurements and watched my stride on the treadmill. She was able to tell me what type of shoes would work best for me. She spent quite a bit of time explaining things. She also recommended some local trails I didn’t know about in the area.
It’s been about a month since I bought the shoes and my feet are doing much better. I’m not sure if I would have been able to keep up the weekly workouts without the new shoes. I’ll be back as soon as these wear out. I don’t know if I could have found them cheaper elsewhere, but the expertise and great customer service has won me over.

While they may seem knowledgeable my husband was trying to purchase a present for me and the sales person was feeding him tons of lies. I LOVE my Mizuno shoes. So of course I did my homework to show my husband. The salesperson tried to tell him that last years model was the newest model and that this years model was an old version and they no longer carried it. He tried pushing a shoe color my husband knew I would hate just to get a sale in his store instead of offering to see if they could have it shipped to store. Please make sure you know what you are looking for at this store. Not a large selection in Mizuno shoes which I am disappointed in because they are the only ones I will buy.

When growing up in the sixties, going to the shoe store, the shoe salesmen were all highly trained in fitting shoes to your feet. Now you don’t see that anymore, with the exception of Redwing Shoe Store & Nordstrom’s. This place was recommended to me by the Neovita Foot Comfort Store where I bought my custom orthotics. I must say that they do an excellent job in fitting shoes to my feet. I wear a wide width & this store is good for people with wide feet. They ordered a nice pair of Brooks walking shoes & they are real comfortable on long walks. I plan on buying my next pair of walking shoes here.

Great service — real runners work there, and they know how to do proper fittings. Wish they handled wide feet better — my last trip to them they didn’t have anything for me in stock for my «mild support» pronation gait in a 9 wide. Fred Flinstrone feet! I was just wanting to pick-​up a new pair of my regular running shoes since I left my primary pair at the vacation house.
They said they could order me something in — would take 7 — 10 days, I ended up ordering them from Zappos and got them in less than 48 hours (and 10 cheaper). I try to buy local whenever I can, especially when we get such great service, but I think they need to find a way to work with their suppliers & improve on how they handle special orders.

The go-​to place for shoes and running accessories in the Bonney Lake area. I started going here for shoes in 2008 when I decided to take up running. I was skeptical because most shoe stores don’t carry a size 14. When I walked in that was the first thing I asked about, and Paul said, «Of course we do!» They put me through a little test on the treadmill to see what kind of shoe would be best for my body and running gait. Then I had a selection of at least 5 different pairs and brands to choose from. I got to try them on, and take them for a test run outside before making a decision, They didn’t mind how long it was going to take, as long as I got the right shoe for me. Since then, I have bought a bunch of shoes, gear, and food from them and the level of service has never decreased. My wife even bought a pair of shoes that started to hurt her feet after doing a 5 and 10 mile run. They let her exchange them for a different pair with no questions asked.

While their prices are slightly higher than Zappos, Fleet Feet provide a critical service that justifies the price (well perhaps two services, more on that in a bit): they provide the proper fitting.
Fleet Feet provides one of the coolest, science driven shoe fittings I’ve ever experienced. My fitting was based on multiple measurements, then a slo-​mo video (to observe pronation) of my feet on a treadmill, then opportunities to test out the actual shoes.
The second critical service is the way Fleet Feet takes part in local sporting events, such as the recent Oktoberfest 5k. Because of that, there are numerous timed events in the Pierce County area.
A final note is that Fleet Feet’s staff seems welcoming to new runners. I don’t feel like an outsider talking to a member of a clique, like I have at other running stores. Looking forward to seeing the Tacoma franchise open up.
