“I’m not a runner, so I don’t get new shoes very often. But my beloved Brooks weren’t feeling as good as they had been so I thought it was time for some new shoes. Keith helped us, and I have to say he is just phenomenal! He used the machine that analyzes your feet for both my husband and me. Lo and behold, I discovered all sorts of information about my feet. A lot of it explained why no matter how hard I try, there are certain shoes I just can’t wear because of the shape of my feet. (That in itself is going to save me a lot of money and frustration!) Keith fitted me for a new pair of Hokas that feel wonderful - something that is important if I’m walking long distances when I travel. My husband was fitted for a pair of Brooks that he really likes. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. I definitely recommend Fleet Feet in Sarasota.”

“I highly recommend this store for a personal touch and advice from people who care. The family owners have been doing this for decades and will help you personally and give you advice. Starting out, you don't know what gear to buy, what's essential, what's optional. You don't know where to go or what to do. You need a boost. These people will help!Don't be fooled by big box stores with a larger footprint. Smaller stores like this don't stock junk. They can't afford to. Avoid decision fatigue and just get the right gear from the right people.I bought most of my essential gear here when planning a hike on the Appalachian Trail. The owners walked me through the considerations and gave me confidence to try it. I had a blast and started a hiking hobby that I still enjoy.On a practical note, I value stores like this. They have helped me advance myself, so I want them to stay in business. So here's my practical request. When buying your gear, try to buy a few big ticket items in person. (Eg backpack, shoes, sleeping bag, tent). The price difference is negligible compared to online. (Also, do you really want to save a couple of bucks in the wilderness, when the stakes are higher, doing a hobby that is already cheap?) Then, while you're at the store, chat with the people. Ask for advice and opinions. Life will surprise you if you let people into it.”

“As a novice pickleball family we were looking for honest and helpful advice for equipment. While located kind of out of the way Pickleball Sarasota fulfilled our needs. Joe was extremely helpful and knowledgeable taking his time with us and learning our needs before offering his advice. He didn't steer us into higher end paddles (and they have some) but more towards ones that beginners can easily use and would work as our skill levels increased. He offered an immediate discount and also offers discounts for military and first responders noting their service and commitment to the community. As our skill levels advance we look forward to visiting again and seeing what advice and equipment he offers to match our new form of play.”

“Super friendly place! Juan does AMAZING work! We came in with a beat up board for putting on top of our 67 VW bus asking about perhaps fixing it up and he was honest in telling us it was not really a board worth fixing due to its conditions. We asked if he had anything he would sell us for the sole purpose of just asthetics on our bus and he sold us one of his older ones for a THIRD of what we paid for ours! I will definitely recommend this place to anyone i know looking for boards or repairs!!”

“WOW! There are a number of great brands for sun protection clothing out there, but this one takes the cake.#1 Reason…. They make it all from refined recycled materials to help clean the environment.#2 Reason…I never thought I would say the word “Craftsmanship” in the same sentence as a 50spf shirt.We can’t wait to buy more after spending time in what we did buy.We will never buy another brand again if these. They dry fast almost to a pint of cooking you and the SPF is rated for the life of the clothing.Too Cool and great product.”

“Wow! If you want top notch service matched with quality shoes then look no further. Patrick greeted us, heard our needs and wasted no time matching us with the perfect shoes. His friendly and professional approach made us feel like we were in good hands. New Balance offers a scanning machine FREE that tells you exactly what your foot needs are which in turn gets you into the right shoe the first time. Why would you buy shoes any other way after learning about what your feet need to be happy?! We were specifically looking for work shoes in a food production kitchen non slip and lightweight. The added bonus and much needed advice we did not get at other shoe stores is the shoe insert that customized the shoe to your foot arch. BIG DIFFERENCE. We are very satisfied with our experience and will definitely be back! Thank you Patrick!”

“Due to assorted foot surgeries, I visited the Skechers outlet at MetroCenter Mall. What a wise decision. They have all the latest styles in most sizes for the entire family. Specifically I was looking for the slip on that's hand free and boy did they have a selection. Bobby, the manager could not have been more helpful and made my selection and purchase as simple as could be. He even advised of several in store specials. No more online for me, I'm heading to this great brick and mortar outlet. Thanks Bobby.”
