Using our innovative Personal F.I.T. Process Fleet Feet team members guide runners and walkers through an extensive fitting process that ensures a proper fit.  Below is a summary of the process each team member uses to make sure you are fitted into the best shoe for you.  No appointment is necessary but please allow extra time when you come in to get fitted.

Step One:  Explanation of the Personal F.I. T. Process

Every process has a beginning point, fitting our customers begins with “hello” and an explanation of the Personal F.I.T. Process.

Step Two:  Getting to Know You

We take time to ask questions about your current activity, such as how often you run, how far and if you have a goal in mind.  We also discuss any existing or past injuries and talk about the footwear you  currently use.

Step Three:  Measurement

Several measurements of each foot help us determine proper sizing.  We analyze both unweighted (seated) and weighted (standing) measurements as well as different point-to-point measurements.

We aren’t doctors and don’t pretend to be, but we will take a look at your feet for signs that will help us fit you properly and determine any special needs.

Step Four:  Gait Analysis

We want to see your feet.  We’ll observe as you run or walk a short distance.  This helps us understand how you move and the biomechanics of your gait.

Step Five:  Fitting and Recommendations

Based on our findings we will bring out the shoes that may work best for you.  We’ll carefully inspect the fit and watch as you run or walk in each shoe. We’ll discuss the options, provide you with our recommendations and answer any questions.

Step Six:  The Decision

This one is all you since you are the only person who knows how the shoes actually feel.

Step Seven:  Ready to Go

Now that you’ve made a decision, we’ll talk about how to properly adjust to your new shoes, help with any other product needs you may have and make sure you’re ready to get the best results!
