Fleet Feet Westlake — Local services in Westlake

I decided to try my first 5K last March. I was seriously overweight and worried that it was a hopeless idea after major foot, back, and hip pain derailed my first few attempts at couch to 5K training. First, Kat at the Strongsville location not only helped me find the right shoes to eliminate most of the pain, she filled me with encouragement and invited me to stop back with questions and for help all no the way. She has continued to encourage me as I flounder into the world of jogging. This past weekend, I visited the Westlake store because I was having foot pain when I started training for my second 5k. Krystol was just as wonderful as Kat. She spent so much time talking, observing, and explaining to me how the 40+ pounds I’ve lost since buying shoes with Kat has changed my shoe needs. We found new shoes that are so perfect, they made me tear up. AND she took extra time to talk about next steps as I continue my weight loss and jogging journeys. Today, I did my training pain free in my new shoes and I am excited to push forward. I can’t thank Kat, Krystol, and Fleet Feet enough for the terrific and caring customer service they...

You have a large selection of products which is wonderful!! Kristy helped me on Saturday when I came in to get a new pair of running shoes. I purchased a pair of running shoes at different running store -Not Fleet Feet. The salesperson put me in shoe that felt find at the store but after I ran in them at home my feet,ankle, shins and knees hurt. I did a couple more runs and same thing. They where completely wrong for me. Of course, they won't take them back because I wore them. I told Kristy my story we checked my gait and told me I needed a neutral shoe not a stability shoe. She showed me 3 different ones and told me to run on the sidewalk outside the store in them. I loved that the Fleet Feet makes you run in the shoes before you purchase them. Kristy really helped me out and was very patient with me trying and comparing each one. I purchased the shoes and insoles. I run that day when I got home feet,ankles,shin and knees felt great. Ran 6 mil es in th em today and feeling good!! I will be coming back to Fleet Feet for my shoes and other running merchandise....

This store is amazing.

I was having trouble with my posterior tibial tendon getting sore as I added mileage. I came to this store with the vague sense that I might be able to get an orthotic that could help, but Fleet Feet far exceeded my expectations. Sarah helped me, and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She did a gait analysis and foot scan, explained the results to me, and emailed them to me. She also walked me through a few different options for orthotics based on the analysis, and provided a couple cost effective options that I tried on.

As a bonus, Sarah walked me through some stretches/ exercises I could do to strengthen the area, and gave me the names of some sports medicine folks I could consult with if needed. Though that sounds like a lot (and it is), it was incredibly efficient: I was in and out in 15 minutes!

Thanks to Fleet Feet, I am running again with immediate...
