Like Butter

One of the Fleet Feet gang was at a popular breakfast restaurant in town recently when she overheard the table next to her talking about Fleet Feet.  One woman said to her friends something to the effect of "You should check out Fleet Feet.  It was great.  They put me on the treadmill and watched me walk on the video.  My new shoes are like butter."

What a great compliment!!! We want your new shoes to be like butter, too.

We love getting emails from our customers.  If there is problem, please let us know.  And if you are loving your new shoes, we want to hear about it!  It means the world to us that we can make a difference for you.  Here is part of a note that we received recently:

"I wanted to thank you for your personal service: for taking the time to wait on me, measure my feet, check my form on the treadmill, select various shoes for me to try out, and then wait patiently while I ran around your store. I have never received such kind, personal attention from a running store before, and I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed meeting you and your assistants."

Friends?

Fleet Feet Sports Bend is on Facebook.  Become a fan to catch the latest photos and to see what we're up to these days.
Fleet Feet Sports Bend opened in April, 2008 and has been received with welcome arms by walkers, runners and exercise enthusiasts. Locally owned by Rod and Katie Bien, the shop is unique because of its fit process. Developed with the feedback of years of Fleet Feet experience, the Fit process involves measuring and examining the feet, followed by in depth video gait analysis. With video gait analysis, YOU, the runner or walker, can see exactly what is happening with your stride. The folks at Fleet Feet can slow down your stride frame by frame to see exactly where your foot breaks down and where you need support from a shoe. Then, you can see on the video monitor how your stride improves when it is in the correct shoe.

Many people don’t realize that wearing the wrong shoes for your bio-mechanics can lead to injury and pain in your feet, knees or hips, not to mention giving you an inefficient stride. Experience the Fleet Feet difference so that you can enjoy your activities more and avoid needless injuries!
