Fleet Feet wants to get you out on those new, Decatur sidewalks!  Kim sends along this message…

Need a little incentive to get out the door and start exercising? Fleet Feet Decatur is teaming up with Brooks Sports from October to January to provide you with a carrot – free prizes – as part of our Run for Rewards program.

Here’s the low-down:

Kim at Fleet Feet wants Decaturites to know…

“that Fleet Feet Sports is opening in downtown Decatur this Thursday [July 17th].  Owned and operated by residents of Decatur, Fleet Feet Sports is a specialty retailer offering footwear, apparel and accessories for runners, walkers, fitness enthusiasts and anyone looking for a comfortable pair of shoes. Fleet Feet follows a specific FIT process to analyze customers’ feet and biomechanics to determine the gear that’s best for them.”

And thus the troika of running shoe shops in the city is complete.  Let’s hope that residents’ knees can handle the additional running required to keep all these shops successful!
