Fitlosophy

Everything we do is geared toward fitting you as an individual. Whether it’s footwear, apparel or sports bras or simply getting you fit, you have a fit that’s best for you and we’re here to help you find it. That’s our Fitlosophy™.

Our fit philosophy is much more than a process or procedure; it’s our way of doing business. By providing a complete fit experience, our knowledgeable staff will help guide you to the right products or programs for your individual needs.

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 anaylize 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 look at your feet for signs that will help us fit you properly and determine any special needs.

Step Four: Gait Analysis
We'll bring out a neutral “test” shoe and 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 break in your new shoes, help with any other product needs you may have and make sure you're ready to get the best results!

Bra Fitting

Fleet Feet Sports also utilizes a similar process for bra fitting to ensure you are in the correct bra for you.  No appointment necessary and our Bra Fitting Specialists can assist you anytime.  We start be measuring you and we have a full array of bras from 32A through 44DD in a variety of colors and styles.  We know how each bra fits, so we will be able to find the right supportive one for you.  A good and proper fitting bra is the 2nd most important piece for a female and we are here to help find it for you!!
