Whether you walk, run, or simply need a good fitting pair of shoes, Fleet Feet Sports has a knowledgeable and professional staff that will work with you to evaluate your feet biomechanics by using our Personal Fit Intensive Training (F.I.T.) Process.  Personal F.I.T. is an extensive fitting process that insures the proper fit of shoes.  We start F.I.T. by getting to know you, finding out about your goals and needs and any problems or injuries you might have.  Being fit in a correct shoe is an important step to preventing injury and maximizing performance and comfort in any aspect of your life.  

Personal F.I.T. starts with your socks.  A sock that fits properly is made from a moisture-wicking fabric that greatly reduces the chance of getting blisters and calluses, and promotes better foot health.  Consider the fact that your sock is the layer of material that sits directly next to your skin and protects your feet.  At Fleet Feet Sports, we recommend that you wear non-cotton, breathable socks.  With the large amount of sweat that your feet produce, you want a sock that will wick that sweat away providing you with better temperature management, less blisters, and an overall better fit.

Inserts are another component of F.I.T.  A shoe provides support and cushioning, but an insert provides a more exact fit by helping to support your feet, align your body and maximize cushioning.  Our knowledgeable staff will take you through our Personal F.I.T. Process and determine if you could benefit from an insert and guide you through the process to find which insert may work best for you.  

For women, other than good shoes, the next most important item is a good sports bra.  Bras are like shoes; there are different support levels, multiple brands, and a huge variety of styles, including bras with hooks, eyes, adjustable straps and specific cup sizes.  Bras do not last as long as you think, usually 6-12 months depending on how many you have to rotate.  The Fleet Feet Sports Bra F.I.T. Process is designed to evaluate what type of bra works best for you.  Being fit in the correct bra not only gives you the correct support, but also minimizes chafing and rubbing and increases comfort.
