I've been here several times - and used to only buy my running shoes here. After I took a break from running and now walk daily, I have been buying different shoes but have been wasting my money on "okay" shoes that don't really give me proper support. Finally decided to go back to get a couple nice pairs of walking shoes and was very happy with that decision. Service was great! Got my feet scanned and sized and then the lady helping me asked me a few questions to determine my needs. She advised me on the type of shoe I needed for my arch and angle of my feet. I told her I was hoping to find something on sale and she brought me all of the shoes that fit my need that were also on sale. I ended up taking home two of the pairs I tried on and have been happy with them. Value for me was good - finding them on sale. Honestly, I've likely been spending the same amount (or more...) on lower cost shoes that wear out faster and also hurt my feet. Happy with my decision, and will be coming back when I need to get my next set of walking/running shoes. Recommend. read more

Fleet Feet - Davis - New shoes on sale - Shoe Stores Near Me - Davis, California

I wish I could say more positive things about this store. A woman with gray hair helped me. I'm from out of town and she was able to find my size and information. Compared to the help I received from a younger rep, he didn't even try. While she was ringing me up, a short curly haired male rep, (manager?) suddenly shouted to her across the store. " Hey "name" its time for you to go." This interupted our transaction and conversation. The female employee became nervous and was uncomfortable. He negotiated with her in front of customers and even verbally reprimanded her, in public. This was uncalled for and very unprofessional, this person should be fired for treating employees like this. I will never shop at this store again. read more

We were scanned/fit/helped by Bella. Bella was AMAZING!!! She was so knowledgeable and friendly. Great with my daughter. Give this girl a raise!!! read more

I've been looking for Hokas online but wasn't sure what my size was with this particular brand. Came to this place since they have lot of selection for Hokas. Hokas are not that cheap so i had to make sure I had the right fit. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I made an appointment online for my exact foot shoe measurement and it went smoothly. You can then access your measurement online. I recommend trying this place out if you're looking for the tennis shoes that will fit you right.. Place was easy to find. It's Davis, so street parking and some designated parking lots. read more

My wife came here to ask the experts on the best fit shoes for her based on her occupation (teacher). A staff member ran a thorough test by having her stand on a sensory platform that collects data to report the condition of her feet. With that info they recommended a list of shoes that best fits a teacher who is on her feet for hours throught the day. Visiting Fleet feet has been a very informative experience. read more

Ask for Sharon!! Well, all the ladies in here were great. Been a fan of fleet feet for years. If you need shoes, clothing or any nutritional needs this is a great stop and worth your time. They take the time to find out your needs and make sure they pair you with the right equipment!! Sharon was very adept at helping me find the right shoes. After a scan and some basic questions we tried on a few shoes, then a few more and found the perfect shoe. I'm off to the races and fleet feet is making sure I cross the finish line!! Thanks for the help!! read more

I first went to Fleet Feet in the Elk Grove area a couple months back. I asked them about being fit for shoes and they did an amazing job finding shoes that work for my foot and had me feel the difference with the inserts. They even email you your 3D foot scan. They told me my arches collapse inward, which I already knew and found shoes that push them outward. When I told the woman who was helping me that I was going to purchase them later, she went from friendly to cold. A couple months later, I ordered the shoes on their website and wanted to go into the store for their inserts. You need to cut the inserts to the size of your shoes and I preferred to have them do it. The woman that helped me in the Davis store was very friendly throughout the process. However when she was cutting the insoles, and I was on the bench right in front of her, she was having a conversation with one of her co-workers. Great products at Fleet Feet! Customer service overall was ok. I got what I needed in the end. read more

Wish I remembered the name of the asian lady that helped us, but she was amazing. She was really nice, knowledgable and patient, which was really appreciated since my Dad is older. My Dad loved the process, thought it was really cool to get personalized and cared for. Definitely his favorite pair of shoes / soles. Highly recommend this location!! read more

I visited with my daughter, a high school cross country runner, and son, a middle-school runner. The saleslady was super helpful and spent a great del of time with us; she scanned both kids' feet and offered very smart customized recommendations. I learned a great deal. Wonderful experience. read more

Fleet Feet - Davis - My new Hoka walking shoes - Shoe Stores Near Me - Davis, California

I've always had excellent service at Fleet Feet. The employees there remind me why I shop locally in a downtown Davis business instead of just buying shoes online. Today my wife ordered some new walking shoes, and a young man named James was pleasant, informative, and helpful. Whenever she made a comment or request, James would respond "OH, FOR SURE!" The world needs more of that sort of enthusiasm. I will return to Fleet Feet soon to purchase my next pair of fancy, supportive, and comfortable running shoes. Highly recommended. read more

I can't say enough good things about Fleet Feet. Is truly a shop for runners. And even us hackers! Simply put, these guys know which shoes are right for your feet. They will make recommendations and even watch you run in the shoes you are trying on. they have one of those computerized foot scanning devices too. Based on scan, they can recommend the right shoes for you. Honestly, I really do think that it gives quite a bit of insight. I have plantar fasciitis and I pronate. They listen to me when I said that I did not want to wear "old lady shoes," and brought me several things that I was very happy with. Joey spent a tremendous amount of time with me and my daughter-in-law. He is an incredible employee. He really knows his stuff and has the patience of a saint. I've been buying shoes there for about 20 years and he is by far the most knowledgeable person who has helped me. Fleet feet carries a pretty nice collection of running clothes and have recently started carrying a bit of Lululemon. They also have really good sports bras that will support those about to have "bigger girls." What are you are a runner, weekend warrior, or somebody who just likes I really good pair of shoes, I highly recommend Fleet feet! read more

Kathy helped me pick the best shoe insoles to get back to running and not end up with foot pain. I have encountered bad customer service here before with two young women during a week day. But my wife and I always found Kathy knowledgeable and she provides excellent customer service. read more

Came in with my girlfriend recently and both of us left happily with a pair of shoes fit us well. The staff in the store are professional and really know how to pick right shoes. They also carry many brands and some are less marketed but offer really nice running shoes. My gf suffered knee pain after long period of running. The guy quickly identify that my gf has the rare under pronation problem put her on a pair of Karhu shoe and she never wants to go back to her Airmax again. I have a flat foot and big toes poked out of the soft farbic of many shoes' toe box. After searching for a long time, I found that most of favorite brands(Asics, Saucuny etc) tend to offer shoes with soft top surface for breathability. The staff again picked a pair of Karhu and another pair of Salomon which exactly fit my needs. Give this store a shot rather than shouting in the dark on Amazon if you are looking for a pair of running shoes. We were lucky that we bought the Karhu my gf tried with almost 100 dollars off. So they may not be as competitive as Amazon on pricing but they do have sales. read more

Great place to buy quality shoes and inserts or orthotics. Came in and was immediately greeted and serviced by Jake. They had me stand on the foot scan and the gait measuring mat to get a 3D, accurate, impression of my feet. The Volumental technology they use is quite fancy - it gives you data on heal-to-toe length, ball width, arch height, in-step height, heel width, ball girth, in-step girth. I found out that I have a huge difference in my arches. I have higher than average arch in my left foot and lower than average arch on my right foot -- super interesting... I had no idea. Apparently, this was why I was getting random aches and pains in my feet, ankles and knees, as my leg & body compensated the difference. Since my goal was to find comfort and minimize pain & further injury, I decided to fork out $130 for custom orthotics, which they said will last twice as long as the life of the shoe itself. They also helped me select the brand and types of shoes that matched my foot profile. I ended up buying Hoka as they provide the most support and helps with those (like myself) who overpronate. They placed my order and it arrived at the store for pick-up within 1 week. The prices of the shoes may seem expensive here, but in actuality, it's the same price online if you buy directly from the shoe company. NOTE - This is NOT where you go if you want cheap or affordable regular shoes to wear. This place is designed for those who want quality shoes and customizable shoes/inserts (ie. runners, athletes, long-shift workers who stand/walk a lot or those who have foot problems). Highly recommend! I will be back myself! read more

Love this store. Always friendly and helpful staff. Good assortment of brands. They have good store hours and member benefits too.

Went in twice (been a long time FF customer) for education/questions after always buying my shoes there and didn't appreciate the way the Manager Michael talked to me. It was like he was thought I was accusing them of something when I just was looking for info. He doesn't take his time and is very quick. One of the reasons I shop there is for customer service and he is providing below par service in my opinion. Our house hold spends at least $350 per year on running shoes there. I will definitely consider going to another location next time I purchase my running shoes. Otherwise great shoes and other staff are awesome. read more

My feet are impossible. 99.9% of shoe stores cannot help me. Buying online is hit and miss. Camille helped me today with the best, knowledgeable service. She measured my feet, made suggestions, encouraged me to feel positive (buying shoes for me is usually like sticking a needle in my eye) and I walked away with fabulous, comfortable walking shoe, socks an flip flops. Great service great attitude. Thank you. read more

Even non-runners can find a welcoming experience at Fleet Feet. I wanted to get a reflective safety vest for bike rides home in the dark. I felt kind of paranoid and dorky for wanting to get one. But then the woman who rang me up thanked me for buying it. She said she wished more people wore them to make themselves visible to cars. Pick up their free portable guide "Where to run or walk in Davis" It includes a map and directions for six routes. You won't find me running them, but I am an avid walker. read more

Really need better customer service. I've been a long time customer but apparently means nothing now a days. I was told I'm up next, up as I wait 2 other people get helped before me who walked in after me. One had a return and the other had a tee shirt waiting for him. All I wanted was a pair of insoles, which I knew which ones. I guess Amazon will get the business, Really...... read more

I usually have a very good experience at Fleet Feet but walked out of the store on my last visit. Only one other customer in the building and she was being helped by the staff. I wasn't in a hurry and waited patiently for a friendly hello, or, we'll be with you in a minute. No acknowledgement at all of my presence. Ended up walking out after a bit. Basic customer service is free and it means so much to your customers. read more

Amazing customer service. A marathoner coworker suggested I come for walking shoes that wouldn't make my knees hurt. Joey greeted me the moment I came into the store and took me through the testing process. He identified the best shoes for me to try, and after many test walks around the store noted that I had been wearing the wrong size and width. After finding the right shoes he helped me find the right inserts, always explaining options and differences between brands. He spent 45 minutes helping me find exactly what I needed to ensure my walks don't hurt. Highly recommended. read more

I came in to the shop in need of some new running shoes and Amy was super nice and super helpful. She had me get my feet scanned so we can get exact measurements of my feet and what exactly I needed in some running shoes. She had me try a total of four pairs of shoes and I found the perfect pair in the last one. I had a great experience here and will definitely come back! read more

I've never been much of a runner (although I do enjoy sprinting; distance is another issue). Being Asian, my parents would buy me shoes that were too big for me so I would "grow into" them. (However, by 6th grade, my feet had stopped growing and thus, I still own several pairs of shoes that are just too big.) My current pair is not actually meant for actual movement (other than comfortable walking), so I'm actually really surprised I haven't broken anything yet. Anyway, I figured better late than never. Why not start now? But I'd definitely need new shoes for this to happen. So I went to Fleet Feet! Best shoe buying experience ever. I was reading up how to find a good pair of running shoes and the article told me to make sure they'd let me wear them out of the store to run around and see how that felt. I never even knew there were stores that would allow you to do that. They measured my feet and watched me run around outside. We talked about my crappy finals, different kinds of socks, the cushioning of the shoe, how many miles they could take, how I would know when to get a new pair. They were really friendly and I'm actually really excited to run now, since it feels like I'm running around on clouds. I'm definitely happy with my purchase, even if the amount spent would feed me for a month and is singularly the most expensive thing I have ever purchased for myself in my life. (They're not any more expensive than other stores, I don't think. I just happen to be a frugal Asian.) read more

Pros: Clean, very up kept, friendly events for the community, visually inviting ambiance and usually friendly staff, encouraging place to visit for athletic inspiration Cons: Hella expensive, small selection of clothes, pushy on selling sports bras and measuring busts, "sales" are nothing great read more

My podiatrist recommended this place for new walking/running shoes, and I had an excellent experience. A shop employee took me through an extensive but streamlined process getting measurements of my feet and gait to help narrow down the best shoe options, then set me up with a good pair of insoles as well to help reduce my foot pain from walking long distances. A few weeks later I can confirm the shoes are fantastically suited to me & have improved the mileage and quality of my daily walks by a lot. I'll definitely be coming here for future sports shoes purchases. read more

Went in for my appointment as a newish runner since running hurt with my old shoes. Michael(?) was great - he spent about 30 minutes with me. He used the foot scan and measured my feet while walking, then he had me try on about three pairs of shoes. When I picked my favorite, he also brought out the previous years model of the same shoe, which was discounted. I ended up liking the newer, more expensive model better, but I appreciated that he offered the other one too. I'm sure I'll be back. read more

Went in today around 4:30pm to try to buy a pair of shoes. No employees acknowledged my presence... I was in the store for ~15 minutes, standing by the shoe rack, then walking around, then sitting where people try on shoes. I saw least three employees and tried to make eye contact or wave them over, but it was like they were all actively avoiding me. No "is anyone helping you", not even a "I'm busy right now, but I will be with you in a minute." Worst customer service I've ever experienced, will definitely not be back. read more

Product is quality. Service is terrible. My wife and I both bought a pair of shoes there with inserts. At check out I asked if there was a senior discount or disabled Veteran discount. The clerk replied no because "this is a corporate store and discounts are not allowed". So we paid and left. After arriving home I emailed Fleet Feet corporate headquarters in Carrboro, NC and asked about their discount policy. A few days later I received a reply from corporate and they stated that discounts were up to each individual store corporate or franchise. SO THE GIRL LIED TO ME ABOUT THE DISCOUNTS! We will be going back to the franchise store in Vacaville where they do have discounts for seniors and vets. read more

I love the service at this store. This is my first visit where they had the volumental technology to scan your feet and arch which really helped me understand what I need in a shoe better. Also, while not a children's shoe store, I was able to also purchase running shoes for my 9 and 5 year old. read more

Kathy represents this store really well. I came here to return a hoka shoes that does not fit right, She was very helpful and even showed me my best choices online. I just wish that there's more selection of work shoes read more

As of last week, I've now lived in Davis for five months. Trust me, five months in a college town when you've been out of school for more than half a decade is a longgggg time. But since early December, life has gotten decidedly better. You see, my boyfriend was going to buy me a new pair of running shoes for my birthday, and when he asked where to find them, I immediately knew the answer. Fleet Feet, no matter the location, is pretty much the Holy Grail of running stores. I've been buying running shoes off and on from them since I was but a wee lass of 13 getting my first pair of cross country race spikes. And in Davis, a town overflowing with road warriors pounding the pavement, I knew that the FF had to be good. And so we bought the shoes. While buying the shoes, I saw they had half-marathon training programs. And so I signed up for a program. In the past month since the training officially started, I've lost nearly 10 lbs, met a whole bunch of really cool like-minded people, and I've finally started exploring this silly little town. I've also bought a new running watch, signed up and paid for a couple of races, bought a new handheld mini-water bottle for the long runs, and also a big ol' Trigger Point foam roller because you don't lose 10 lbs in a month without also severely straining a few muscles. I've spent enough money over the past few weeks that I just got a $25 gift certificate from them as a thank you. Seriously FF? Nearly everything about your store is great - the staff is amazingly knowledgeable and helpful, the equipment is top notch, and the training programs are small enough that my coaches sent me a personal email last week when I missed a practice. My only complaint - a minor one - is that some of the clothing is pricey, and I'm just as happy getting cheapo athletic gear from Target. As for everything else in the shop...let's just seal the deal Fleet Feet and get an automatic transfer line from my bank going. Shut up and take my money! read more

I have shopped at Fleet Feet for several years. A couple of months ago I had a problem with a pair of running shoes. The running shoes had less then 40 miles on them and I felt they were breaking down rather quickly. When I arrived at Fleet Feet, I was met by Chris Denton (Co-owner) of the store. I explained my concerns about the shoes-without missing a beat, Chris told me the shoes had more miles then I stated, essentially calling me a liar. She was rude and she dismissed my concerns about the shoes. When I got home, I went to shoe review website and found many of my same concerns about the New Balance running shoes. Since I'm a fairly new runner I have documented the miles in a running log. She made me feel very uncomfortable to the point that I will never return to the store as much as I have enjoyed purchasing shoes and clothing over the past 15 years. read more

Received great service from Courtney. Came in here around 6:30 and all employees were working with someone until past closing. I have started training for a 10k in 5 weeks and been running in shoes that were quite undeniably toast. I was given a lot of shoe options and had a short run up and down the street in each pair while Courtney watched my gait. I ended up picking up Hoka One Ones with inserts, which Courtney warned would take my body some getting used to mechanically. I did go for a run yesterday in the shoes and had some lower back soreness, but either way I was assured that if for any reason the shoes don't work out, I can come back within 90 days to figure out a better suited shoe. Though I don't know for sure yet if the Hokas will prove to be right for me once my body gets used to the inserts and the shoes themselves, I feel comfortable leaving a 5 star review because of excellent service, no feeling of hesitation (if I think another shoe would suit me better, I can go back and sort that) and a price that matched the internet's. Always happy to support local even if it costs a bit more than ordering online, especially for sporting equipment, shoes, and clothes, which I do not have the luxury of always fitting comfortably into with my short, wide feet. In this case I received the service, shopped local, and paid no extra for the troubles. read more

Problems with their coordination of special order inventory. If you have unusual feet (I wear size 15), you may be better off ordering through Zappos. I had to keep coming back to Fleet Feet because they'd misplaced part of my order, or ordered the wrong size, or ordered a substitute product without explaining to me why. No one in the store took ownership of these repeated issues or apologized to me for them. When they ordered a substitute set of arches without notifying me beforehand, I was told flatly and unsympathetically, "They don't make the other kind in your size." Okay, that's fine, but why wasn't I notified of that before the order was placed? They appear to have problems coordinating these special orders among all of their employees, who aren't always working in the store at the same time. They need a better way to track and verify these special orders and the communication that is being given to the customer regarding their status. As an avid runner, I was initially excited to be supporting a local running establishment, but after having to go back to the store 4 times now, I think in the future I will go with Zappos instead; their shipping is faster and they have never misplaced my order. read more

I'm not a runner but I've jumped on the Crock bandwagon recently and these folks have a good selection. Rumor has it they have excellent fitting advise for your running shoe needs. Davis is a total tri-geek town so they have to know their stuff. Both times I've been in the store, there have been many friendly and helpful employees here. The store is a chain, but this one is locally owned. They love Dixie and fight over who gets to feed her the jerky treats that they keep behind the counter. read more

The female employees here are extremely rude! I was in a week earlier just looking. I was told by a few male associates that they had a military discount of 10%. I returned with my husband to buy Hoka tennis shoes for my him and I. The lady laughed at me and said there has been some miscommunication on there end about a military discount. Apparently this location does not like money or the military. She told me to go to Vacaville to purchase shoes. I'm glad I didn't spend $400 at this location. read more

Not wanting to trust my own judgement on the right running shoe for me, I came here for their expert advice. They measure your foot and watch you run and ask a few questions to determine the best shoe for you. Turns out that I don't over pronate or over supinate. What a relief... because who would want to hang out with an overpronator... or an oversupinator for that matter. I got a great pair of well-fitting shoes and was in and out in no time. The sales person was super friendly and wasn't pushy at all but I wish she had told me about the cool system to interface my shoes with an iPod Nano. http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/ If you're serious about your running and you care about your feet, this is the place to go. read more

WOW! My biggest regret with this store is that I didn't come here decades earlier. I'm an older guy, NOT athletic, and my feet had been hurting a few months with self-diagnosed plantar fasciitis. I replaced a number of street shoes at another Davis store, which helped a bit, but needed to replace my old (but not worn) trainers for newer ones. I came here because it's convenient and their reputation. in 40+ years buying adult shoes, I never got the professional service this place offers. The "salesman" (really, trained foot specialist) measured my feet sitting and standing, examined my walk barefoot and with several shoes, and tried a couple of inserts. The whole process took close to an hour, and absolutely no hard sell...I had to ask to buy extra socks. He also demonstrated, with a model, how the foot bones work and what arch support really is...I never understood before. I'm going back real soon with the shoes I have to get more proper arch supports. These people are somewhere between your regular shoe store and an orthopedic shoe store. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

I walked into Fleet Feet to buy new shoes. I have flat feet and an old ankle injury so i need good support. My size 10.5 New Balance seemed a little short and my granddaughter had recently had an excellent experience at Fleet Feet. A friend also had been there and gotten Hoka which she said beat her New Balance for support and comfort. I walked on the mat, stuck my feet in the machine etc and was told I needed a size 8.5. The clerk convinced me I didn't want Hokas and I convinced the clerk to bring out size 11 and found a shoe that seemed comfortable and had adequate support. But I hated the color so he called and found it at another store. He said he would call when they came in and, although I was ready to pay, said to pay when they came in. No call ever came. I went back to Joe's New Balance Outlet. Turned out getting "fitted" in person was a waste of my time. For this unfortunate service I would have paid twice as much for my shoes. No thanks Fleet Feet, you convinced me my online experience was superior in every way. read more
