Fleet Feet is a national specialty running store that provides expert advice regarding all aspects of running. They offer a free footwear fitting service to help you choose the best pair of running shoes based on your foot size, gait pattern, and biomechanical needs. Fleet Feet also offers free clinics on a range of topics including nutrition and running for beginners. Fleet Feet Davis hosts training sessions for the local Davis chapter of the Roadrunners Club, the Golden Valley Harriers, and are free and open to the public. They also offer training sessions for triathletes and walkers. Fleet Feet Davis has a mailing list to keep runners up to date on clinics, training sessions, new products, sales and upcoming races. They also have a free personal rewards program that for every $250 you spend in the store over any length of time you get a free $25 in store credit. There is no card to carry or no cost to join, your purchases are tracked in the computer by your name and phone number.

Fleet Feet offers excellent marathon and half marathon training programs. The fall program trains for the Cowtown Half Marathon, run in Sacramento in October, and the California International Marathon, run from Folsom to the Capitol the first Sunday in December. The winter program trains for the Shamrock'n Half Marathon, run in Sacramento in March. The group meets twice a week for coached workouts—Tuesdays at 6:00 PM for a shorter, speed session, and Saturdays at 8:00 AM, for a long run. With enrollment, participants get a training schedule and information packet, a non-cotton technical running shirt, $10 off a pair of shoes at Fleet Feet Davis and $5 off a sports bra (for the ladies), plus additional perks and goodies.

4/17/06 You will pay as much for sneakers here as you would at most mall shops or upscale department stores. The difference is you will walk out with the best shoes for your feet and activity. I spent $90ish on a pair of running shoes, but we went through six or seven different pairs, with me running up and down the street in each pair so the shoe guy could better define which would keep me from bashing the hell out of my knees and ankles. After all this we talked about proper stretching and how to alter my warmup routine to take my own needs into account. $90 sounds like a lot of money, but $90 and over a half hour of trying and testing may save me who knows how much more in money on orthopedic repair down the road. Get into their database as a customer, and for every $250 you spend they give you $25 in in-store credit. BlancheNonken

I bought some running shoes here 2 years ago, they make you run to past the avid reader and back to look at your form. Service was pretty good. —StevenDaubert

2009-02-10 12:23:47   Highly recommend. I went to the store just as they were closing and the staff (I think it was the owner) stayed open an extra 20 minutes to help me. The service was great. She took plenty of time to fit my feet and talk to me about what I needed. I ended up with a great pair of shoes that I couldn't be happier with. I will definitely go back next time I need running shoes. I don't think the price is higher here than at other comparable stores. They may be more expensive than a Big 5 or Sports Authority, but that's because you get what you pay for. If you pay more here you're going to get a better pair of shoes that will feel better when you run and last longer. —BethanyHelmboldt
