“I took a trip to Fleet Feet yesterday to get fitted for some new sneakers since my trusty Nikes were probably over ten years old and I need something reliable to train in for my first half marathon this fall. I’ve had so many folks suggest this place to me over the years but I never made the time.I’ve always had trouble with shin splints, which cause me to need to take long breaks between runs, which has hindered me from making any sort of progress in the sport. My feet have also started recently to go numb about 5 minutes into any sort of jog or run I’ve attempted.I learned a lot yesterday:1. Turns out my sneakers were a whole size too small! Apparently you’re supposed to size up from your largest foot (my left is 9.1 and my right is 8.7) This will allow my toes plenty of room to spread and take care of the numbness.2. My lower legs need strength training. I’ve always avoided lower leg exercises like calf raises because I already have monstrous calves, but I was told yesterday that when your foot strikes the ground, the lower leg takes on the force of 2-3x your body weight which makes COMPLETE sense to me (Calf raises here we go)!The verdict: I snagged a new pair of sneakers, and for the first time in YEARS… as long as I can remember, I FINALLY ran a mile in less than ten minutes yesterday (I haven’t been able to get below 11 minutes). I did pull a newb move and forgot my inhaler, so I had to walk a bit in mile three to catch my breath, but I could NOT be more thrilled about how the right pair of sneakers has completely changed the game for me!!! Hats off to Fleet Feet of Portland!”

“If I could give this review more stars, I would! First of all, Kelly is outstanding. She was so helpful as soon as we walked through the doors and made sure that my clogs were made to fit my feet absolutely perfectly. She was chatty and kind, and my clogs arrived exactly when she said they would with an adorable hand written note from her and some Kurier goodies. On top of that, Jasmine created the perfect custom fit clogs for me and I’m so happy with them. Nothing but positive feedback for this shop and its workers! ⭐️ ”

“Very boho and chic clothes store. Everything is very expensive but it is cute. They have a selection of other items to browse through, candles, plates, etc. It’s worth giving a look if you are in the area.”
