I've been having a problem with Big 5 advertising email and print, some very good deals on ammo…read moreonly to learn that in order to obtain this deal on that particular advertised day there needs be a staff member on duty who's been cleared to sell the ammo. On my visit this week I called ahead to and confirmed proper staff avail, and headed down to purchase my range ammo. The bad news is they were out of most things on their email savers coupon. The good news is these two staffers ( manager and trainee ) made the purchase kind of fun. The manager assured me that the stores are hiring more people and that ammo sales people will be on duty more often. And I did get a July 4 discount. All good. Anyway, hats off to you guys, my best to you and may you live long and prosper. I'll be back. ( I had to bite my tongue to not go political on this note. Any issues the stores are having is due to Calif laws and not a fault of the store )

The company is great aa is the young lady and I truly appreciate stellar products and services as is emblematic of Patagonia.

Flipping them back and forth a bit dramatically and excessively, checking zippers aggressively and flipping everthing inside and out as if she wanted to find a flaw lol. If anything it was a great performance of examining clothing and zippers. Bravo for the show - I have not seen that done before! Then she wanted to share care tips with me to use dryer balls for down items and I said that is all I use. In the end my items all qualified since they were barely worn, and I could bring my 4 items back for $77 in credit. No thanks Patagonia - I'll give them away now and won't shop with you again. I've been a customer with you since 2014 but I'm really done now. Disappointed that the service was just not what the company use to represent. Associate was a bit of a snob and had an underlying tone of aggression with her tips and cares and excessive clothing examination show. I bet she wanted to find a flaw in my items but unfortunately she found none. Overall a terribly sad experience. I definitely will not visit this store again and honestly there are a lot of great companies out there that are similar to Patagonia. There is nothing really special anymore about this brand.

My parents speak limited English, but Vic was so thoughtful and patient with them. Even through simple conversations, he quickly understood what they were looking for, from the right fit and size to their preferred colors. He went out of his way multiple times to find different sizes and options for us and never made us feel rushed. What really stood out was how warm, professional, and attentive he was. He made the whole shopping experience feel easy and enjoyable, especially for my parents. We ended up leaving with five or six pieces and a really great impression of both the store and the service. Thank you so much, Vic, for your kindness, patience, and excellent service. You're truly such a nice person and made our visit memorable!

Truly wonderful experience at Fleet Feet. Excellent selection, knowledgable associates, and no…read moresales pressure. Unlike other running shoe store experiences, I wasn't pressured to get insoles, buy a membership, or pick a particular brand. The story: I needed new daily running shoes after retiring my old pair. I have a membership at another running shoe chain but hated the experience. I also have a membership at a well-known outdoors chain, but their associates are always swamped and tend not to have running-shoe specific knowledge. I wanted another option, so I went to Fleet Feet. The associate listened to what I was looking for, did a quick foot scan and gait analysis, and then made informed suggestions. They were also happy to let me try on additional pairs I was interested in. After trying on several pairs, I settled on the Mizuno Wave Rider. When checking out, the associate helping me said I could create an account or just checkout--another example of how refreshingly no pressure the whole experience was. I love my new shoes and I was very satisfied with the experience. I'll return to Fleet Feet for future running shoe needs.

I went on a Friday morning and didn't have a long wait for a fitting, and I was helped right away by Jim.

I also appreciated being able to test them out by running outside the store. It made a big difference in finding the right fit. On top of that, Jim shared helpful tips to reduce the foot pain I've been experiencing during longer runs. Both pairs felt so great that I ended up buying them on the spot. Overall, a thoughtful, personalized experience! I'd highly recommend this location to anyone looking for the right running shoes.
