Unbelievably patient –especially for non-runner like me. Knowledgeable? Oh yeah. They look at your old shoes (bring them with you!) watch you walk (barefoot), have you stand up/sit down, etc. They listen to you & what you want. Are you a walker, runner, cross country hiker, or none of the above? Do you have problems with your feet/shoes? Then they bring you shoe after shoe (after shoe!) until you find one that fits you the best, period. They watch you walk inside the store (carpeted), and outside on the sidewalk (concrete) to see how it feels. No sales pitch. No pressure. No “I’ll be right back” and then the salesperson disappears into the stock room… You get one-on-one attention from people that know their ****. And you know what? You sit on a chair, and they sit on the floor so they can look/touch/examine your feet. You tell me the last time you had someone at Foot Locker do that.
