A second Fleet Feet opens in Chico, Calif. What started as a local running shop begins to grow through word of mouth and shared miles.
50 Years
Together In Motion
In 1976, Sally Edwards and Elizabeth Jansen opened the very first Fleet Feet in Sacramento. What the two young school teachers ended up building, however, was more than just a store.
From the word go, Fleet Feet was a space where runners felt seen, supported and part of something bigger.
Over the years, that same spirit fueled growth across the country, through innovation in fit, technology and training. What started as a single neighborhood shop grew into a nationwide network of locally owned stores.
Today, Fleet Feet continues to pair personalized outfitting with real community, helping you move better, feel stronger and keep running towards what’s next.
Fleet Feet begins expanding through locally owned stores, partnering with passionate runners who care deeply about their communities, not just the business.
Fleet Feet opens its first store outside California in Washington, D.C., proving a community-driven store model can thrive nationwide.
As running surges in popularity, Fleet Feet develops its modern fit process, helping more people find shoes and gear that fit their lives and their goals.
Fit technology evolves with the introduction of 3D foot scanning, laying the foundation for today’s fit id® outfitting experience.
Fleet Feet leans into social storytelling and education, sharing real expertise and real people to make running and walking feel more accessible.
Fleet Feet welcomes JackRabbit into the family, adding 57 stores and expanding its ability to serve runners and walkers nationwide.
Fleet Feet looks ahead to serving 500 communities, using connection and care to help people move more and live healthier lives.
