OUR FIT PHILOSOPHY
Fleet Feet Sports Fair Oaks - Roseville is dedicated to ensuring that runners and walkers of all abilities are fit with the proper footwear and technical apparel to meet their individual needs.
Being fit in the right shoe is an important step to preventing injury and enhancing your fitness experience. Whether you are just beginning a walking program, training for your first marathon, or are on your feet all day and need some foot relief - we can help.
It's Our Way of Doing Business
We listen carefully to your fitness goals and interests, take into consideration any aches and pains, and evaluate your experience with your current footwear. We then measure your feet, assess your foot type and watch your gait cycle. Using all of this information, we utilize our training and experience to make individualized footwear recommendations.
Plan to spend some time working with our staff to identify the right solution for you. We will take as much time as necessary to insure you are properly F.I.T.
- 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'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 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!
