I heard about Fleet Feet from one of my fellow runners who raved about the friendly and knowledgable staff -- she was right! They spend plenty of time helping you find the right shoe and are very thorough -- they even include a video gait analysis on their in-store treadmill! I haven't been to any other place that's quite as thorough in recommending shoes, and all the staff members are exceptionally personable - willing to share stories and training tips as well. While we were there, I also noticed it's not JUST runners who frequent the store. On that particular Saturday, there was a triathlete looking at wetsuits and a couple older folks who just wanted good shoes. Fleet Feet Bonney Lake is definitely a stand out if you're looking for great customer service and quality shoes or athletic apparel!
Pros: Friendly staff, Lots of parking, Good shoe selection, Great store atmosphere
Cons: A bit of a drive from Seattle (but well worth it)
