Such a nice place with great service. I would’ve never known that my feet were two different sizes lol. I went here because I wanted a comfortable walking shoe for my trip to Africa. They will tell you everything you need to know!
DUSTIN LIED in his response so this review is now a ONE.When we arrived we were greeted by JAKE who was helping another customer. The female employee and DUSTIN the male employee were also with other customers. We sat near Dustin who was talking with a customer for a couple minutes before he made it known he was an employee. He stated the selection was short due to production and he would help us when he was done.The seating was small, however there was a bench with products on it that could have been moved for one of us to sit. No one thought it was worth moving though even as I stood over it for about a minute as my kids sat on the floor.The kids feet were measured, but there weren’t any track shoes in stock for them.
I went there first after 2 separate doctors at uga health center recommended I do so! I was impressed by how much time they spend with you and how seriously they analyze!I thought the prices should be higher there but to my surprise they are on par with amazon and cheaper at times! So basically a pro puts u in shoes and it’s not even more expensive!People are so nice and helpful as well, we have enjoy going there over the past 3 years very much!Other than shoes their gear are awesome too!
Went to Fleet Feet in Athens for something specific my wife was looking for. I wound up finding something for me instead! The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. The store was clean and it was easy to find items.
Staff was quick and helpful and store had a good selection. Part of what I needed was in stock, but had to order one of the items online. Arrived within 3 days! Will go back!
Great products and superb service. I use Mizuno Wave Inspire and if they arent available Fleet Feet orders them quickly and promptly. Plus, they install speed laces in them at the store. The Athens Fleet Feet is the only store I will shop for running shoes because of the service.
Great customer service and products! Caleb was patient, polite, and answered all the questions I asked and was very knowledgeable in the products he offered. Good pricing levels were available for products offered.
Customer service is spot on. Clerk was very helpful and effective in finding product I need.
Dustin took the time to explain what type of running shoe would work best for my needs. Ive had them for about 2 weeks now and they are the most comfortable that I have ever worn.
My daughter was going to Fleet Feet for a shoe fitting so I went with her. After watching how they measured her feet and explained what shies she would need I decided to give it a try too. Honestly I’ve never spent $130.00 for a pair of athletic shoes in my life, but when they give a 60 day money back guarantee what did I have to lose. The way I walk it was recommended that I try a pair of Hoka shoes. It’s been 4 days and I have to say they are the most comfortable athletic shoes I have ever worn. I will most definitely be keeping them!! My daughter bought some Brooks and equally loves her. We are 2 very satisfied customers and I will go back after I unfortunately wear these out!! Love them!!
Very helpful staff. Scanned feet and helped pick out a shoe that would be best for me.
Love the Hoka shoes, so comfortable after standing for 8 hours everyday. Love the 3d imaging of your feet & the great customer service. They want you to be happy with your purchase.
My wife and I Walked in on a Saturday after many recommendations. First thing I loved was how inclusive the store was and how it seemed to be a focal point. From there, the young lady that helped us was extremely nice (sorry I didn’t catch her name but she had on the UGA Pegasus shoes). Although I could tell she was relatively new, she was super helpful and patient with us. It was our first time in and we didn’t feel rushed or like we were being annoying with all of our questions. She found us a great pair of running shoes that seemed to address the issues we were having and made sure to tell us about the 60 day return policy which is AMAZING. Excited to take our shoes on a spin this weekend and will definitely be back.
The Fleet Feet Athens employees helped me find my correct size and width, along with notifying me when the shipment arrived, and putting a pair on hold for me to pick up. They provide amazing customer service and make the overall experience so enjoyable. I prefer buying from local businesses regardless of the service however Fleet Feet makes it the most obvious choice to patron.
This is hands down the BEST Fleet Feet store in the country! I was in today and Dustin, the owner, assisted me in my fitting process for new shoes. They had a great, clean shop with a very knowledgeable crew and a fantastic selection! I went through a detailed fit analysis and afterwards he brought out two pairs of shoes. The first pair felt like butter and the second pair the same! Dustin hit the nail on the head and I chose the first pair. Can’t say enough great things about this shop and the service. Thanks Dustin! I can’t wait to take my shoes out for a spin!
Customer service was outstanding. I have already told 2-3 people about how great the service was on top of quality products. I also noticed what appears to be great teamwork with the employees. While one person was ringing up my purchases another employee (without being asked) was picking up and putting away the shoes that were pulled for me. I would highly recommend supporting a business with that level of service to both customers and coworkers.
The staff at Fleet Feet Athens are truly amazing! I was fitted for new running shoes yesterday and I was given so many options after my foot scan. The guy helping me was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with the decision making. I went for my first run in the new shoes this morning and it was GREAT. The owners are also wonderful people. Thank you, Fleet Feet!
Friendly, thorough service! Been an avid runner (10-15 miles a week) for the last two or so years. Went in for an update of running shoes. I learned things about my feet I did not know and walked out with wonderful shoes and insoles at a very reasonable price. ($130 shoes, $50 insoles) Cant wait to go back here!
Wonderful staff and expert knowledge for all your running or walking needs.
I went in to get some new running shoes/cross trainer kind of things, and some inserts for my very high arches. I’m kind of new to the fancy shoes thing so I probably didn’t give them very useful information about what I was looking for, but the person helping me manage to find an amazing pair of shoes and inserts combo for me so fast! I’m very happy.
Received prompt & professional service, they have a large selection of high end shoes. Very knowledgeable staff and my husband and I walked out with a pair of shoes. We are happy with the input from the staff and definitely will return in the near future!
Knowledgeable, kind and patient staff. Great inventory!
Absolutely the best shoe buying experience ever. The sales rep was very thorough ,knowledgeable, and patient. He analyzed my feet and gait before recommending several possibilities. I tried on five different pairs of shoes, before settling on the perfect one. The whole process took 30 minutes, and I came home with a pair of shoes that worked for me. Thanks Fleet Feet! I have already recommended you to several other people.
Top notch customer service! I honestly didnt think Id be able to walk so comfortably in shoes again after Lisfranc surgery. But with the help of Fleet Feet and their Fit Process, Im back in a shoe and walking with ease!
I had an amazing experience - I normally dont have the budget for higher end running shoes, so when I told Dustin that, he worked with me to find a pair of sale shoes that fit me perfectly!
The service was incredible! I wish I remembered the name of the sales associate who helped me when I went in. He really listened, took his time, gave me great advise and made me feel valued and important. I have already been recommending Fleet Feet and definitely will continue to do so!
I had been meaning to go to fleet feet for a couple of years and never got the chance til this weekend. It was the best experience Ive ever had trying and buying really any pair of shoes. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful in the whole process. I never like to be rushed to a sale because more often than not the item ends up getting returned for some reason but here I actually had the time to go through all the options. Will be back soon!
Christine was absolutely AMAZING! She was so patient, thorough, and kind. Her expertise in the field was VERY evident and I felt very comfortable in my decision for a particular pair of shoes that was geared towards my issues with my feet. It was a great decision to go here, and I will be taking my mom as well!!! :)
I had never been to a Fleet Feet before and other shoe stores I had been to had not impressed me. After trying to find something online and sending box after box back, I took the risk and gave it a shot. The guy who helped me was amazing--so helpful. He took a scan of my foot, thoroughly went over it with me and grabbed a few shoes to try on for me. He even helped me put them on! It was really great customer service and I left with a pair of shoes, some inserts and the best socks Ive ever felt on my foot. Would definitely go back.
Excellent customer service! Very pleased with my Karhu shoes!!
Great experience! They gave me and my wife a free 3D scan of our feet and analyzed our walking patterns and the wear on our shoes. Putting all of this together, they then gave us shoes tailored specifically for us. Dustin was kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Highly recommend for any runner, walker, or workout enthusiast.
Staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the Fit Process. I have suffered from foot issues for a long time, but thanks to the Fit Process, I finally have shoes that do not hurt my feet.
This is hands down the best place in Athens to purchase running shoes. On top of being the go to premiere running store in Athens there is more to this place than running gear. The owner has gone through great lengths to cultivate and support the running community. He has an amazing staff that is knowledge. They offer group runs and training programs. They welcome all runners at all levels with wide open arms and offer running advice if ever asked. I am not sure if I would have enjoyed running as much as I have without Fleet Feet Athens.
My favorite running store! Great customer service, everyone who works here is friendly and very personable. They have a great selection of top notch products. I love everything I have ever bought from them, and if I ever needed to return something they exchange or refund, no questions asked. I recommend them to everyone I know.
Jacob was very knowledgeable about all of the shoes. I received very personalized service and one-on-one attention. He listened to what my work conditions were and tried to recommend the best shoe. Will recommend to friends and family.
The salesperson who helped me was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful; she spent a lot of time taking measurements, watching my gait, showing me various options, and explaining the different construction of the athletic shoes I was considering. I appreciate the welcoming atmosphere of the store and the individual attention. There was no hard sell and I felt like I was free to make my own choice without any pressure to buy if I wasnt ready.Ive also had to return an item to the store and they made that process very easy, with no problems or hassle. I highly recommend the store because of its excellent customer service and the knowledge and obvious expertise of the sales staff.
I was a bit nervous coming into a running shoe store because I am far from an elite athlete, but everyone was super welcoming and friendly. I really appreciate that Anna Marian took the time to give me a proper fitting and help me find the perfect shoe for me. The scanning was really cool and taught me things about my feet that I never knew. I normally hate shopping for shoes because I often end up with something that I dont like once I get home, but this was a totally different experience. I love my Karhus; they are far and away the best shoes I have ever owned. You have earned a loyal customer.
Love the personalized fitting experience and the modern technology for assessing my footwear needs! And the personnel were friendly and knowledgeable! Will definitely be back!
Excellent store and great people. No pressure sales. Foot scan available. Love the two month return policy on running shoes
I have noticed such a huge difference since I started wearing the shoes I was fitted for at Fleet Feet. The staff was extremely accommodating and very friendly and took the time to listen to my concerns & what I was looking for in a good pair of shoes. As someone who was wearing $10 shoes at my job where I work 8-9+ hours a day on my feet the entire time, its been life changing to have a pair of shoes that actually support my feet. I can take them off at the end of the day & my feet dont ache at all like they used to. My job is so much more enjoyable now that Im not coming home every day in pain from standing all day. It was well worth the money as an investment my future self will thank me for.
Had never been to an actual running shop before. Turns out Id also never had a properly fitting pair of shoes. Coincidence? Um, no. Thanks to Fleet Feet, I got the best fitting pair of shoes Ive ever had. Great service, great experience, great folks.
Thank you Fleet Feet for having a great and knowledgeable staff that always answer all my questions and give great advice. They are super informative about running gear and runners health. Their coaching/training program is awesome and so supportive. So happy to support local businesses that give back to the community.
Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable on their product. Being able to fit me correctly with running shoes (and sports bra!) per the analysis of my feet was super cool and made the purchase that much more comfortable. I’ll definitely be back and recommend this place to all my friends!
Best customer service! Wasnt sure what I was looking for and from the moment I walked in, Patio (Hoping I am spelling it correctly), scanned my feet and educated me on the correct fitting. Had no idea I was wearing a 1/2 size too small all this time. Never put pressure on me buying anything. He picked 2 shoes based on my exercise level/needs & the best not the most expensive. Went back the next day and purchased my new running shoes. Thanks so much! Very happy customer!
Awesome little local store! Great service! They fitted me for insoles I desperately needed and gave me some helpful info on my feet! Couldnt recommend them more If youre a runner, ready to get back in shape or just need new shoes, because your feet hurt.
The sales associate who helped my friend and me was very patient and knowledgeable. We both had a great shopping experience. Would definitely recommend Fleet Feet!
I really appreciated the specialized attention I received when recently purchasing a new pair of running shoes. I did not feel rushed or pressured to buy the newest, latest or most expensive design; instead, I was asked specific questions about my running habits and preferences and then tried on a few pairs aligned with my needs. It was a very pleasant experience and Ill definitely be back!
Excellent customer service and attention to detail. The sales person spent a lot of time with me sizing my feet and helped me with several brands and styles of running shoes. She wanted to make sure I was perfectly satisfied with the pair that I wanted. I did not feel rushed or pressured to buy a certain shoe. 3 weeks later and I am still in love with my Brooks Ravenna 7s, and they got me through my very first half marathon ever recently, at age 50. Thank you Fleet Feet!!
Very friendly and helpful! They observe how you walk and use a feet mapping machine to see what features you may need in shoes to fit your feet best. I learned a lot about my feet (narrow heel, high arch, etc.). Being able to see EXACTLY what I needed in shoes and pull shoes from different brands is not something I ever wouldve been able to do on my own. Highly recommend!
Excellent customer service and a vibrant selection make this a lovely surprise in Five Points. For the longest time I thought this place wasnt really for me, as Im not a runner. Turns out they help all sorts of folks, from people who dont exercise much at all to more casual walkers like me. They can help find the right shoes for your feet (and back!) and have a good selection of items that athletes (from casual to serious) might enjoy. I love seeing the running groups meeting up in front of the shop--theyre always smiling and encouraging one another.I recently opened a business in Five Points, and the Fleet Feet folks came over to greet us, a homemade bouquet made from a Fleet Feet pint glass and rolled-up sock roses in hand. Theyre thoughtful folks indeed.
The great attitude when you enter the door makes you feel like part of a family! The care and consideration every Fleet Feet employee has shown as I have shopped for shoes over the last few years is what keeps me coming back, along with the great quality products you have!
I recently took my son (college student) in to be properly fitted for running shoes. The salesgirl took plenty of time with him, explained the process well, etc. He left with a great pair of new Nikes. Great experience.
The sales associate was very knowledgeable and so helpful. He took a lot of time to bring me several choices and help me pick the right shoes. He really listened to what I had to say, and I love my new shoes! I will definitely be back.
Low pressure environment. I bought a nice pair of shoes for $130, came back the next day with buyers remorse, and they cheerfully helped me find a more affordable shoe from the clearance section for $75! The staff is friendly and helpful!
The sales representative I had was awesome!! She really took my concerns into consideration when picking the right shoe for me. Although I am very indecisive, she helped out with all of my little questions which made me feel like I really wasnt bothering her and receiving the attention I have never gotten at a shoe store. I am VERY excited about my first official pair of running shoes- my Asics 2000 has been great so far...I have not stopped telling people about how great this place is!
Excellent selection of shoes and running gear. Staff has ALWAYS been friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. As a now overweight, middle-aged runner, I usually dread going to a running store - too much negative attitude. Fleet Feet is different - they can cater to elite runners and recreational plodders alike, with equal attention and concern. I highly recommend them for running needs!
As a brand new runner I was not treated like one and wasnt pushed for the hard sale. Logan was fantastic. He listened to me and my concerns and provided multiple options for me to try. After running the first time with my new shoes, I could totally tell the difference from the off the shelf pair I had been using. Each of the employees were very helpful and you could tell they had a passion for running and making sure the customer was satisfied. Please keep up the great work.
Fleet Feet stands behind their products and they offer good quality items. Most importantly they always offer good customer service. Their staff members are always ready to help in anyway they can. Each of them are friendly and take the time to get to know you and what your looking for. They encourage and support your goals, and offer group running. Fleet Feet isnt just a place to buy shoes, running outfits, and gels; its somewhere you can go to build friendships.
I’m not a very talented or dedicated runner, but my experience at Fleet Feet was exceptional, and did not make me feel self-conscious about my running abilities. The sales people were warm and welcoming, clearly knowledgeable, and took the time to help me find the right shoe and insert fit. I would go back again in a heartbeat.
This was my first time getting running shoes that were the right ones for me so I was a bit nervous and unsure of what I wanted or needed. Erik took his time with me, offered me lots of options, and also gave me his professional opinion to help narrow choices down. He didn’t try to force any certain shoe on me but instead made sure we kept looking at options if any shoe that went on my foot didn’t feel right. He also reminded me that if the shoes didn’t work out, I could still come back to try again with the slotted time frame. I truly appreciated that I didn’t have to know every answer in the process and that I could take as long as I needed to make a decision.
Dont kid yourself into thinking this is just a shoe store. The staff is fantastic; Christine took the time to really evaluate my foot shape, movement, and needs. She made observations and recommendations I wouldnt have even thought about. The store has a great selection of not just shoes but also accessories at reasonable prices and no pressure!
Fleet Feet Athens is more than a store, its a community! I love the Monday night group runs, and have made so many new running friends. Their special running events and training programs are so much fun! They are always out at community functions, often volunteering their time and enthusiasm. They have a great selection of nutrition, clothes, socks, and shoes. The sales staff are always helpful and informative, never pushy. I wouldnt shop anywhere else for my running needs!
First time customer with Fleet Feet! Christine was very knowledgeable and most helpful in getting me into the right running shoes. I love the selection of shoes, socks, and apparel that you offer. I will definitely be a return customer. Thank you!
The staff at Fleet Feet are all very helpful. You never feel like a schlub if you arent a fit runner or even if you never run. Christine is awesome, knows everything about the merchandise! And the staff is patient and kind to children as well as adults. Its just a fun place to look around, and they welcome you, whether or not youre buying anything.
I am inexperienced in running just trying to get started. I stopped in Fleet Feet wanting to buy my first real pair of running shoes after experincing severe ankle pain from the shoes I was wearing, and they went above and beyond. They staff is highly knowledgable and got me into a new pair of shoes that gives me the support I need and even found a color I like. Going in I was super nervous and overwhelmed; they made it really fun and easy. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.
For the first time in my life I have well fitted, comfortable shoes. Its literally like running on a cloud. Dustin took the time to carefully measure my foot and watch my walking patterns. He is very knowledgeable. It is a pleasure to browse in a very clean and organized showroom. They have made a customer for life out of me.
Friendly knowledgeable and professional service,,they made us feel like we were important and wanted to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied with my shoes...We will definitely be a regular customer,,we live in Hartwell Ga and its well worth the drive to Fleet Feet
Great customer service! They will scan your feet and help you find the best shoe for your foot type. Extremely nice and attentive sales staff. Its like an old-fashioned shoe store.
Diana was wonderful. Im not runner or an athlete and am a little self conscious about buying athletic shoes, but she made me feel comfortable. She listened to my requirements, analyzed my gait, and brought out several great options for me to try. I love the shoes and greatly appreciated the kind and knowledgeable service.
No matter if you a marathon runner or just a casual runner,Fleet Feet is the place for all your running needs. The selection is great but it is the staff that make it outstanding. The staff wants to make sure you get the right gear to make your running experience the best possible. Expert shoe fitting is just the beginning. They truly care about !making you a better athlete.
The salespeople are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They spend as much time as necessary to make sure that the customer is satisfied with the best shoes for them. The products are of high quality, not flashy name brands.
I came in on 2/14 and was helped by Christine. I have terribly flat feet which makes it difficult to find a good shoe. Christine was awesome and explained exactly what I needed to best suit my exercise routine. She also fit me for socks and insoles in addition to my new shoes. I loved my purchases and will certainly be back.
My husband and I heard about Fleet Feet through the AthHalf. Weve been following their training schedule and decided to check out their store. We had a great experience! The staff provided very attentive service and was knowledgable about running and fitting shoes. We also really enjoyed the 3D scans of our feet to help us find the best fit!
I cant remember the gentlemans name but I was in the store on Tuesday, June 19th during my lunch hour and he took his time and I think I tried on 8 pairs of shoes. The store was crowded and all the employees did not get in a hurry with the customers, they just kept saying, sorry for the wait, well be with you as soon as we can. I felt like they really cared about each customer in there. I will definitely come back for more shoes and will recommend the store to anyone who asks about a shoe store.
I loved the level of customer service my husband and I were provided with! It’s so wonderful to be served by someone so knowledge about the product and different brands. We are both in love with our new shoes. Many miles to come :)
The service and guidance was fantastic! It was my first time in the store, and they immediately made me fee comfortable and answered all of my questions honestly. I will definitely be back!
They provide excellent customer service and quality products at a good price. Im thrilled with my new shoes, and I recently enjoyed meeting up with the community for a group run. Give them a try!
Fleet Feet is the best running store in Athens. I have consistently been fit with good shoes (I am prone to shin splints and since shopping here, they have not bothered me). Their community outreach via group runs are great fun, and their staff is wonderful!
It was a spur of the moment decision to stop in, but it was a fantastic experience! The young lady helping me was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and very helpful. She explained the results and how to deal with those things. I have already told others about my fantastic experience! Great place with great people!
Fleet Feet Athens has the most friendly, knowledgeable, eager-to-help staff. I choose Fleet Feet both for my personal purchases and for work-related purchases, for which they collaborate and cooperate with me on to produce great offers and services to improve the health of my employees.
Amazing customer service! I was immediately greeted and helped find the perfect shoe for me, and I learned a few new things that I will keep in mind when buying shoes in the future.
UPDATE 2020: Another year, another pair of Hokas from Fleet Feet.UPDATE 2019: Bought another pair of Hokas at Fleet Feet. They had my size in stock (10 2E)! Great place!Great service and very knowledgeable. Locally owned business. And they are very active in supporting local running clubs, races, group runs, and they provide training courses.
I like that the FF employees know your name and seem genuinely interested in you as a runner. They are not just trying to sell shoes. They want you to have shoes that work best for you and your activities. I also like that they offer so many services to the running community in Athens. They are collecting shoes right now for Houston and it is an example of how they even reach outside of the local community.
I got a free gait analysis and a great pair of shoes to help me in returning to running after a heart attack. The staff at Fleet Feet Athens was welcoming and easy to talk to. I never felt pressured or intimidated. Highly recommended.
The person waiting on me, (Christina I believe), listened to what I was concerned about with the worn out running shoes which I brought in with me. She took me outside to evaluate the shoes, by having me run a short distance. She was knowledgeable and suggested different brands and models I could consider but she was NOT PUSHY. I bought the pair of shoes she suggested based on how they felt on me, how they felt when I tested them out and as a bonus, they were on sale:)
The employees at Fleet Feet Sports Athens were very professional and extremely knowledgable about running, their products, and best recommendations for each individual customer. I had such a great shoe buying experience, and I wouldnt shop anywhere else!
I appreciate how kind and personable the staff was. Patio was super helpful and knowledgeable of their products. He was patient and answered all of my questions, and didnt pressure me to buy anything. I am so happy with my new shoes and so are my feet!
Fleet Feet Athens is a great community establishment. Not only do they help fit you into quality shoes with time and care, but they provide so many training opportunities and social events to help motivate you to get in shape and train for races. I love going to Fleet Feet and always leave feeling encouraged and supported as a runner. They also host races in the local region. Yay for Fleet Feet!!
Thanks to the staff at Fleet Feet Sports Athens for all your help. I love my new Hoka Bondi running shoes, they are awesome!!! If you are a heavy runner I encourage you to check them out. The staff is very helpful with fitting and getting the right shoe for you..
I like how intimate the store is and helpful the associates are. Often when you go to larger department stores for running gear there are people there who do want to help but dont know what theyre talking about. The associates at Fleet Feet always know what theyre talking about and are so so helpful in whatever youre looking for!
The way that each asssociate took their time to focus on me and what I was looking for. Very attentive and understanding. Would highly recommend this store to anyone who needs some great shoes for running or walking. Very knowledgeable.
Im glad I made the decision to purchase new shoes at Fleet Feet of Athens. I love my new shoes and was very happy with the knowledgeable staff. I ran 5 miles today in my new shoes and it felt great :)
The sales people were both knowledgeable and helpful! After wearing the same type of shoes through 12 pair, I needed to change. They were so helpful and I am thoroughly enjoying my new Sauconys!
I really appreciated how much time they dedicated to sizing my foot and analyzing which shoe would be the best for me depending on my footfall and what I was training for. The staff is extremely willing to go to any lengths necessary to make you feel the most comfortable with your choice.
Emily was extremely helpful and patient in helping me find new running shoes. Better customer service compared to what I have received at other running stores in the past. Will definitely be back.
The staff at Fleet Feet Sports Athens are a talented and fun group of professionals. In particular, I want to thank Christine Busby, manager of Athens Fleet Feet, for her support and belief in me as a runner. Her personality and expertise make shopping at Fleet a great experience.Thank you Fleet Feet for being central to the running movement in Athens.
It was a great experience coming into Fleet Feet and getting fitted and leaving with the right pair of shoes for my foot. Katie spent so much time working with me to get the right shoes and make sure I was completely satisfied!
Super attentive and knowledgeable, good range of brands, and a really cool 3d model of your feet they can email you. Also, the goodr sunglasses by the checkout are literally the best if you want something light that stays on top of your head when you bend over a million times with toddlers!
Fleet Feet Athens is, in my opinion, the best store of any kind in the city. Its run by a knowledgeable and caring owner who, along with his staff, will bend over backwards to help you with your running/exercise needs. This is a local business run by people who are embedded in the community and who do a lot of good here. Spending your money at Fleet Feet Athens is a meaningful experience.
The employee that helped me was very patient while going through the process of finding the right running show for me. She gave me lots of information about my walking style and information about running groups to join. I wish I could give her higher than 5 stars!
Fleet Feet is taking great care to make in store shopping experiences safe and efficient, while not feeling rushed or pushed into buying anything.
What a great experience! Though I had done my research, Dustin was very knowledgeable and made the process super easy. Love my HOKA Bondis, and will most definitely be back to buy my next pair of shoes!
I cannot gush enough about the incredible customer service I always receive at Fleet Feet Athens! The perfect place for shoes and gear for newbies and pros alike.
The sales associates were both very friendly. The one who attended to me was great, and helped me find new shoes, soles, and socks. As someone who is new to running, I really appreciate it.
I love the personal attention and the time each employee takes to make sure you have the perfect shoe; that it fits and performs the way it is supposed to for each individual. It really, really, made a difference in my buying experience this week! Thanks yall!
Great service and excellent shoes! This is the third year we have visited our daughter in Bishop, GA and returned to purchase shoes at this store in Athens, as they know exactly the shoes we need.
Great customer service! I am very happy with my new pair running shoes. Also, their training programs/group runs are a wonderful service to the community.
The service at fleet feet is both friendly and reliable. Whenever Im in there shopping, I always know that theyll give me the best possible advice, and that, even if they dont have the product Im looking for, theyll order it for me. Just all around great service!
My nine year old daughter has issues finding shoes that are comfortable and that she likes. The selection and service were excellent.
Took my 14 year old son for new all around running shoes. Dustin and Emily really took the time to look at his feet, his gait and (importantly to me) talk to HIM and give HIM data and choices about shoes. It was a great experience all around.
The entire experience was great! The young lady who assisted me was super nice and very patient, she didn’t stop until we found the perfect shoes for me. Looking forward to walking many miles in them!!
Always great service, and fantastic for helping me make the best of my running! I’m an amateur wannabe runner who has learned how to run a 10k and a half for the first time in my life (at age 46!). I find the best gear and advice from these folks. Can’t say enough about them!
Couldnt have asked for a better experience. The young lady who helped me out was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to me in a way that I understood it all. Additionally, she didnt try to sway my decision in any way and even suggested that I look around for other opinions before committing. That alone is why I didnt bother looking around and purchased 2 pair of shoes on the spot. I couldnt be more happy with my experience.
Patty-o (if thats how his name is spelled) was knowledge about the shoes I was looking for and he was also very kind. It was a delight visiting the store and meeting him while getting my first pair of trail shoes!
Knowledgeable sales team. Sales associates are never pushy and give the client 100% of their focus. They never seem impatient or distracted. They are attentive, good listeners, and offer a wide variety of product and non-product solutions to problems.
They showed me what my foot did while running, and what type of shoe I should get because of it, and a staff member was always available if I had a question or needed help.
I received very patient explanations regarding the meaning of terms that are used in finding shoe styles, allowed all the time needed to try on, retry and walk about in store. No pressure to rush a purchase or even to purchase, just assistance in finding what felt best to me and had proper fit. Thank you.
Always a great experience! The staff was wonderful and we love our new shoes!
I havent actually shopped there, but I had a product question and Jake was more than helpful and pointed me in the right direction over the phone. Highly recommended!
Excellent staff--I hade Cain. Very happy with my new running shoes.
Great place for people looking to get anything running or walking. Dustin was extremely personable and made me feel like a friend. Very knowledgeable about the products he sells and recommended a few options for the future. I will be going back there again.
Greeted immediately by a helpful sales clerk. Got individual attention throughout my visit. No sales pressure. Person who helped me looked for an older model of the shoe that was on sale without my asking.
The service was fantastic! She took the time to learn my foot, so I felt confident with her recommendations. I love my new shoes!

EXCELLENT service. Dustin took his time with me in order to give me exactly what I need for my physiology and running style. Great local business! Highly recommended.
The staff was super helpful without being pushy about buying products. They asked questions about my personal running experience to better guide me on advice. I am new to the area, and I felt very welcomed.
The shoes I got are great. They fit good and feel good. I really appreciate the time the sales person took with me to get it right.
Great customer service. Employees spend time with each customer taking care to get the right fit. They do not make you feel rushed or like they are just trying to make a sale. Very pleasant experience.
Staff polite and knowledgeable. Love the foot digital evaluation. Worth the price.
Ordered a hard to find shoe in a uncommon size for me. I had written off not getting the special edition that I wanted, but fleet feet athens came thru for me!
Christine was SO personable and helpful without being pushy. She is a top-notch customer service-oriented person, and I wish there were more like her. Thanks a bunch, Christine.
Fleet Feet Athens is the best! They genuinely care about their customers and making sure they get the best shoes and gear!
Alex was super engaged, took time to explain nuances of different shoes, and was a very likable sales associate. I felt good buying shoes from him!
That you imagine my feet to hopefully find the perfect shoe. I also like the time you spend to ensure the customer leaves happy and not just put them in a shoe and hope it works.
Great staff.learned something about my feet and love my new shoes and socks. Clean and well organized shop.I will be back.
Best pair of shoes Ive ever owned. Great customer service, and the prices are reasonable.
They take their time with you, watch you walk and have the 3D foot measuring technology, which helps in picking out the best shoe or shoes for your feet.
Friendly, fast service! Loved getting my feet scanned so I really understood my actual foot needs. Highly recommend.
Really knowledgeable staff and really willing to spend quality time with customers to find them their perfect shoe.
Great service! I’ve already recommended Fleet Feet to a friend!
Old fashioned in that they fetch the right pair for you, help you slip them on, and allow you to walk about to see if shoes fit. Nice, professional staf .
I feel welcomed and comfortable with staff even though I am not an elite runner. Staff is very knowledgeable about products. Love running with NoBo and the Monday runs too.
Great products & services. Love to support local & appreciate how this small business gives back to the community & local schools.
Very personal and friendly service! Staff was very knowledgeable. I left with the perfect fitting shoe!

Had a great experience with friendly staff who helped us pick out the best shoes for our needs!
Very knowledgeable and attentive staff that got me set up with exactly what I needed and out the door in no time. I won’t be buying running gear from anywhere else.
Thanks Katie for excellent customer service! I am very happy with my new shoes, and I look forward to getting back out on the road!
Very informative and helpful staff! Took extra time to special order desired shoes. Wonderful experience.
Dustin and his team are awesome. They know their stuff and are helpful with runners of all levels. I appreciate what they do for the local running community.
The running groups need to work on etiquette. Whens there are 50 of yall running down milledge, it would be nice to allow some sidewalk space for others. Run single file, or move even slightly. No need to run three abreast when there are other people running as well.
Christine was so nice and friendly but her knowledge of each shoe was what really impressed us.
Best place to buy any athletic shoe! I buy several year with my profession and they are great!
Great customer service!

2021-11-27We went to Fleet Feet today for a proper fitting and pair of shoes for grandma. The entire family went home with new shoes. We were amazed at the service, attention to detail, and prices. Finally, we all have comfortable properly fitted shoes. I can’t imagine buying shoes anywhere else.

2022-07-15Great experience! Chandler was the sales person that helped me. She was a pleasure to work with. I drove 30 minutes to make an exchange of a shoe that was a half size to small. The bottom line is the service was great and she helped me quickly. She even turned me on to some running clubs near by. So thank you. Looking forward to go out to Fleet Feet Athens for another pair in the near future.

2022-06-04Amazing place! Before coming here I had only bought shoes at major retail stores and online. Never again. I will now rely on FleetFeet for all of my shoe needs. I walked in and was helped by the owner. He used their “Feet ID” technology to best equip me with shoes for my feet. He then helped me through the process of trying some on until we found what was right for me (only took 3 tries). I highly recommend!

2022-03-01The staff member who assisted me was fast, knowledgeable and friendly. He conducted the assessment to tell me about my foot size, width, and arch… making an educated decision from there on what shoe would be best. I also had an online return that was processed immediately with a confirmation email in my inbox before leaving. I walked out saying that was the quickest, most productive shopping experience EVER!

2022-03-21I went into Fleet Feet today to purchase some new running shoes; I am a beginner runner and have absolutely no knowledge on what shoes are best and what to look for but the store associates made me feel very comfortable and talked me through the whole process! The fitting was free and even though there were several customers in the shop, the process did not feel rushed. After taking the time to scan my foot structure and having me walk around the store in different shoes, I settled on the Brooks Ghost 14 and couldnt have been happier with my purchase. Highly recommend Fleet Feet for all your running needs.

2022-05-25Everyone needs to come to Fleet Feet for your running shoes even if you don’t run like me. They will help you find running shoes that will help you feet feel better! They even have a 60 day return policy if they don’t wear well!
