    I am not convinced the employees know what they are doing. I had my feet measured and they told me…read moreI needed a 10.5 wide shoe. I alerted them to the fact that I typically where a 12 or 12.5 in most shoes and sometimes a 13 if it isn't a wide shoe. They insisted I try a 10.5 which was too tight, but they convinced me to purchase an 11.5 wide. As expected, after wearing them for 2 days I could barely walk. My left knee began hurting, as did my back and the arches of my feet. I stand and walk for 10-13 hour shifts and this was not acceptable. I returned to the store and had them rescan me with the same resulting shoe size recommendation. This time I insisted on a 12.5, which they did not have in stock and had to order. When it came time to order the replacement shoes, the employee wanted to order the new shoes first and then process my return. I disagreed with this process as I had purchased the shoes with a gift card and would then be paying $180 and leaving with a $150 gift card. The employee asked the manager for assistance and they agreed to do my return first and refund the money to a gift card that could be used for the purchase of the new shoes. This seems like common sense, but based on the shoe measurement discrepancies, perhaps not for these employees. I will see if the replacement shoes fit better when they arrive, but I am not likely to recommend this business to anyone else looking for shoes

    Dear Friends, 2023…read moremarked the start of a change in my life. We all make resolutions at the start of the year but this change isn't a resolution. It's a change.... I decided that instead of watching life I'd join it. After losing another classmate, I finally realized that my bucket list would be for not if I kept waiting for the perfect situation. One of the items on that list is to constantly improve my physical fitness. Since the stairs at work snatch my breath on a daily, I decided to start with walking. It's been a while since I walked for exercise so I knew I needed to get the right footwear. I knew without the new kicks I'd use every excuse under the sun about why I can't exercise because my shoes are worn. I landed at Fleet Feet to get the perfect fit. From start to finish I felt informed and encouraged about the process. The staff member was exceptional. His customer service was outstanding. He explained the scans, offered the best choices, and I left with my new kicks to sign up for their spring training program. While I have miles to go before I'm ready to tackle the Cooper River Bridge, I know where all my footwear will be coming from. Suggestions: Book an appointment on their website, come prepared with questions, and forget the words "I only wear...." Feet and shoes change so be open to trying new sneakers. Please share your story, reel or photo with me when you venture out to get your next pair of trainers. Excited to see you on the pavement soon. Sincerely CSRA

    Thought the Athens Half deserved its own Yelp listing -- it's growing fast and has a bright future…read more I highly recommend this race for runners who want to have a good time, enjoy great scenery at the nicest time of year for North Georgia weather, and still experience a course that will challenge them a bit. PLUSES: Excellent course with a nice mix of challenging and relatively easy segments. I didn't run last year, but some who did told me that it's a big improvement over the grueling uphill section leading to last year's finish line. Looking at the finish times compared to 2011, this is definitely a faster course. This year's course was difficult enough in spots that serious runners needed to think about what they're doing, but still forgiving enough for beginners to enjoy. Some steep downhills, a few sneaky-tough uphill sections, and several stretches where you needed to open it up and take advantage of the terrain to hit your time. Nice mix of in-town neighborhoods, open road and the UGA campus. Water stations were plentiful and well-organized. GREAT volunteers -- can't thank them enough for contributing to a successful race. LOTS of folks out cheering the runners, especially in the Cobbham, around Five Points and then on the bridge past Sanford Stadium. I'm sure the UGA fans enjoyed the final lap through the stadium. Traffic control and route marking were good, with one exception (see below). MINUSES: The runner refuel area was too small and prone to traffic jams. Not quite a train wreck, but definitely too tight for comfort. This DEFINITELY needs to be addressed next year. It wasn't too bad when I finished (1:32:00) but when the first big waves of runners hit about 10-15 minutes later, you could tell people coming off the course were frustrated and uncomfortable trying to navigate the crowds. I didn't need the porta-pots on the course, but I heard other runners complain that they were too few and far between. There was one point on the course, at Milledge and the Loop, where traffic coming off the freeway wasn't being controlled by police. The drivers I saw were very polite and stayed out of the runners' way, even when the light had changed, but it was a safety issue. Suggestions for next year: I started towards the front, just behind the 1:30:00 pace group. Everybody up there seemed to know what they were doing, but I can't speak for those further back. Given the size of the race, though, a more formal start wave system might be a good idea for next year.

    Loved the course. Water stops were great. Loved that it was not HUGE. Loved my age group prize…read more(coffee mug)! But if you are in it for the shirt--forget it! Black. Ill-fitted. Cheap fabric. I requested a small. The label said it was a small. It wasn't. Probably ordered and picked out by a man (sorry!).
