About Us
We’re runners. That’s the reason we opened Fleet Feet. I’m very sure I could have concocted a better way to make money than to open a walking/running store. This isn’t and never will be about the money. It's about sharing our passion with you. Whether that is getting you off the couch and motivating you to start a walking program, training you to participate in your first race, or giving you the strategies and assistance to break a personal record, that is what excites us!
It was suggested to me in opening the store that I needed to be careful since I am such an avid runner and it might intimidate the “casual” walker, runner, or person that does neither. I would argue quite the contrary! When you enter our store, you will be able to feel our passion for customer service, fitness, and your feet. We hope that you will give us the chance to fit your feet for your activities and that we can inspire you to whatever level of fitness you want to obtain!
We’ll strive to find the perfect pair of shoes for you, allow you to dream big, and we just want to come along for the ride!
Fleet Feet Sports Bend opened in April, 2008 and has been received with open arms by walkers, runners and exercise enthusiasts. Locally owned and operated, 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 an 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 and/or hips, not to mention an inefficient stride. Experience the Fleet Feet difference so that you can enjoy your activities more and avoid needless injuries!
