Yes, summer is at its end and the kids are off to school. It seems as busy as the summer was with the kids home, the busier we get with them in school. Go figure.

 The Mizuno Run With Us Bus is Coming!

Mizuno Run with Us
The “Run With Us” grassroots campaign is a mobile running tech lab designed to provide expert analysis and recommendation for runners of all skill levels. It features a grand scale technical van which houses two of Mizuno’s state-of-the-art Precision Fit® terminals. There, consumers are provided an innovative and thorough biomechanical analysis of their foot type and running needs. The Precision Fit® procedure determines which type of Mizuno running shoe best suits the runner’s foot type, running style, and running goals. Runners are also given a chance to “test ride” Mizuno footwear and go for a run with a Mizuno tech specialist knowledgeable about the entire Mizuno product line to provide expert advice tailored to the consumer. On display are Mizuno’s Wave Technology® footwear, with models featuring the latest Gender Engineering technology, which accounts for the differences in running styles between men and women. All participants in the “Run With Us” program receive a free Mizuno Dryscience T-Shirt. Those who don’t have the time for the full Precision Fit® process can still take a test ride of Mizuno’s footwear, and also receive a free pair of Mizuno performance running socks.
If you are interested in experiencing the Run With Us Precision Fit technology, please RSVP for your appointment. The bus will be here at our store from 3PM till 6PM on Wednesday September 8th. All participants that RSVP will be guarenteed a spot but you must arrive to the store by 5PM. Walk ups will also be available for the 2nd terminal but we cannot guarantee a spot for you.

What our graduates are saying:

Enrolling in the New Balance No Boundaries 5K program was the best investment I’ve made in myself this year.  My goal was to jog/run for longer periods of time, and I was able to attain that goal through Coach Geni’s guidance and support.  Not only were we instructed in proper running form, timing, pacing, etc., we also benefited from seminars with a Physical Therapist and Nutritionist.  Fleet Feet Sports supported the group by supplying the knowledge to make right choices when purchasing shoes, clothing, equipment, etc., and also sponsored the 5K Race we participated in at the end of the program.   The entire experience has been a positive one for me and has far exceeded my expectations.  I would recommend the program to anyone of any fitness level.
See you at the Fall session!

    Treat your Feet September Special

    Lunar Glide 2 LAF

    Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Drymax Sept 10th through 30th

    Why is it so important to keep feet dry?
    Moisture on the skin creates a host of problems; in hot weather it causes blisters and fuels the growth of odor-causing bacteria, and fungal conditions of the skin (Athletes Foot), and toe nails. In cold/freezing weather, moisture pulls heat away from skin 23 times faster than air, lowering skin temperature so rapidly that wet feet become painfully cold and are much more susceptible to frostbite. Blister Free? Because the Dual Layer Sweat Removal System with the Drymax fiber keeps the skin of the feet dry, blisters caused by moisture are eliminated.

    STAY DRY & COMFORTABLE - GUARANTEED

    Drymax socks will keep your feet drier and more comfortable than any other sock. If you do not agree, return the Drymax socks (with your sales receipt or a copy) for a full refund
