OUR PHILOSOPHY OF
FIT
Fleet Feet Pleasant Hill is dedicated to ensuring that
runners and walkers of all abilities are fit with the proper
footwear and technical apparel to meet their individual needs. Being fit in the right shoe
is an important step to preventing injury and enhancing your fitness
experience. Whether you are just beginning a walking program,
training for your first marathon, or are on your feet all day and
need some foot relief - we can help.
A SCIENTIFIC
APPROACH
We take a structured approach that leaves nothing to
chance in your quest to find footwear that truly meets your
needs. We start by
getting to know the “big picture” about you; your goals, interests,
current activity levels, and surfaces that you train on, all in the
context of any aches and pains you may be having, and your
experience with your current footwear.
Next, we assess your foot type, observing you
barefoot, walking, standing, and with ankles/knees flexed to get our
initial fix on your level of pronation, and other personal
biomechanical characteristics.
Then we measure your feet, taking both weighted and
unweighted measurements of both foot and arch length.
Then
we observe your gait biomechanics, stride and footstrike in
footwear. If you are a
runner, here is where we watch you run. Based upon analysis of your
moving biomechanics and your verbal feedback, our trained staff will
bring out the footwear designed to best compliment your individual
needs.
If
additional support or comfort objectives require it, we may suggest
orthotic footbeds, wraps, straps, or other tools to help you find
the best solution for your personal comfort, training or injury
needs. It is this level
of customer service that sets us apart from our competitors.
Exercise is hard enough. We can make things easier by
taking responsibility for the variable that is footwear, helping you
to be more comfortable and to avoid or recover from injury more
quickly.
