    $ 68 with my 10 % discount - not bad .
    Ron W.

    I went here today to pick up a pair of work sneakers. Parking was easy breezy and the staff were all very nice - no hard selling. The only issue was that my top four choices were unavailable in my size 11.5 - I settled on choice number 5, and was given a 10 % discount for being a WSS member - nice value for the money as my budget today was $ 99 or less.

    I get to the store at 9:30 to pick up my RESERVED pair of jordan flint 13's. I ask the front door if the line is for raffle winners and they tell me to line up. I get to the front of line where they tell me i should have gone into the store by 10 to get my pair. They ended up giving away my pair along with saying "im sorry, we fucked up. Now I understand why WSS is the shittiest of all the shoe stores because they have no idea what they're doing. I asked why they didnt have a sign telling people that won to come in and they blamed it on covid-19, like what the fuck does a making a sign have to do with covid-19. Anyways fuck this store Update: I see they respond to certain people regarding issues but this is no biggie for them, please people do not go here, better off going to footlocker, footaction, or champs

    I can't believe it took me so long to find out about WSS. I am very picky when it comes to shoe shopping but now that WSS is in the picture, my shoe game has officially changed. This location is on the north side of Van Nuys and the area itself isn't the greatest but that doesn't hold true for the store. This WSS is HUGE and very well kept. I didn't see many pairs of shoes out of place or on the floor which made my shoe searching process a lot easier and it made the store feel less cluttered. Perhaps the best thing about WSS is their prices. You can't find name brand shoes for a cheaper price and they usually have a deal running or coupons available. Last but not least, the employees here are VERY helpful and friendly. One in particular named PETER took the time to personally show me numerous pairs of shoes and described the benefits and disadvantages of each one. Oh, and get this, PETER is the Security Officer! He wasn't receiving any sort of commission from my sale yet he still took the time to make sure I left completely satisfied with my experience. If you're looking for a massive shoe selection with deals on top of deals, ask Siri for directions to WSS in Van Nuys.

    The shoes I would have bought this trip

    Dear Mr. Alon, My father's day was ruined today shopping at your store in Van Nuys on Sepulveda. I was shopping with my son on what has become a quarterly excursion down the Blvd. from our home in Sherman Oaks. My son is almost 9 and grows very fast so we like to regularly measure his foot to make sure he wears the proper size. Today was different it had been longer than normal because of the pandemic. He was a size a 1/2 bigger, we need all new shoes. While trying on one of the $120.00 pairs of nikes I planned on purchasing for him I put my sunglasses down on the sneaker display for a moment. Sure enough when I was distracted by my son and mask, someone swiped them. I immediately informed the closest associate of my situation and she walked to the front counter but did not return. I approached the security guard at the exit door and told him what was going on, he was very slow to react and seemed like he didn't want to be bothered. I was waiting for someone to do or acknowledge something. I explained that it happened a moment ago in plain view of your cameras.I pleaded with them to review the tape to see if the person was still in the store and maybe planned on turning them in on their way out. I didn't want to have any conflict, I didn't want to get anyone in trouble, I just wanted and attempt to get my property back. The security guard comes back and says there is no one here who can check cameras and my manger says you should just call the cops. I assure you had I said someone took something of value from your store, or if I put something in my pocket worth $150 maybe someone would have done something but to get the response, "Call the cops yourself" is insulting. I had a pair of size 6 nike 290 running shoes ($125), Nike Jordan, Westbrook basketball shoes ($120) size 6, nike jordan slides ($45), and a pair of 11 1/2 tommy bahamma driving shoes for me. If your team can take a moment to realize I am the exact customer you want to cultivate, disposable income, likes to be on current releases/ new releases, and my son needs new shoes every 3-4 months let alone the sport specific shoes. Rather then take the time to try and accommodate me, your team blew me off. In my frustration I noticed a sign you have hanging from the ceiling asking me to tell you how you're doing with the district's manager name and phone number. I called the number while I was standing there and left a message explaining what had happened only to have the security guard try to correct me when I stated they said there was nothing they could do and I should call the cops. I'm sure you can hear him in the back round on the voice mail. This bothered him and the Assistant Manager very much. The aggressively approached me and try to usher me out of the store. I asked if I could leave the shoes I intended to buy at the counter and they said no we don't hold shoes for customers. Well, I can assure you that is the last time I will attempt to be one. I get that you are a volume discounter and you make your profit on slim margins but the level of awareness, competency, and professionalism displayed by your staff today dumbfounds me on the financial success you seem to be having. That may have been great pre-covid but, I am in the F&B business, and all of our business models are changing. We are moving to either automated fulfillment or catered service to your repeat customers. Your business model seems to be in-between, I'd make some changes quick, I am only one customer but I won't be back and it always just starts with one. Sincerely, Matthew Washton

    Absolutely nothing special about this store, and the "sale" items are very few. I prefer DSW for a much larger selection.

    I recently visited both Road Runner and Fleet Feet while searching for new walking shoes, and the…read moredifference was striking. Fleet Feet was, quite literally, feet ahead of the competition. At Road Runner, a foot scan gave me useful insight into my foot structure and what to consider in a shoe. The technology was impressive, but the experience was less so: the store seemed understaffed, trying each shoe often meant another 5-10 minute wait, and when another associate stepped in, I had to repeat what I had already gone through. More importantly, when I asked to try a shoe outside the scan's recommendation, I was discouraged because it contradicted what the technology suggested and was told not to try it on. Data can inform a decision, but footwear is ultimately experienced by a person, not an algorithm. A scan should guide curiosity and judgment, not replace them. I eventually tried the Brooks Ghost 18, but Road Runner did not have the colorway I wanted, so I bought them elsewhere. After my first walk, they began cutting into my ankles, and my search started again. Then I went to Fleet Feet. From the beginning, John made the experience entirely different. He greeted me warmly, did a new foot scan, explained what the results meant, and, most importantly, listened. He combined the data with his own expertise and my actual feedback rather than treating the scan as an answer. And finding the right shoe was not easy. Because of the anatomy of my feet, I ended up trying nearly 15 different pairs. Through every one, John's patience never wavered. When a shoe caused discomfort, he listened, reassessed, and brought out another option. He never rushed me, never made me feel like I was taking up too much of his time, and never acted as though he simply wanted me to settle on something so he could make a sale. What made the experience exceptional was that John seemed just as invested in finding the right shoe as I was. There is a profound difference between helping someone buy something and genuinely helping them solve a problem. John understands that difference. Eventually, I found the ASICS Novablast 6, which felt like the best fit for my needs. Unfortunately, Fleet Feet could not get my preferred colorway in time for an upcoming trip, so I ultimately left without buying a pair that day. And that may be the strongest testament to John's character and customer service. After investing all that time in helping me, John never pressured me to buy another color or settle for another shoe just to make a sale. He cared about getting me the right shoe, not simply getting me to buy a shoe. That kind of service is rare. I have met plenty of people who are knowledgeable, and plenty who are friendly. It is much rarer to find someone who combines expertise, patience, attentiveness, and genuine care for the customer's outcome the way John did. Fleet Feet, you have an exceptional employee in John. A foot scan can provide data and a system can generate recommendations, but neither can replace someone who listens carefully, applies expertise, adapts when the obvious answer is not working, and stays committed until the customer has a real solution. John turned what had become an incredibly frustrating search into one of the best retail experiences I've had in a long time. Thank you, John. Your patience, expertise, and genuine commitment to helping me find the right fit did not go unnoticed. Fleet Feet is lucky to have you.

    Great service. They have a device to accurately measure my feet, not just asking me,"How do these…read morefeel?" In n out in 13 minutes. Not rushed but they had what I asked for.

I knew fleet feet had a great supply and the ability to measure mama's sore feet. So, mama is a five time cancer survivor and warrior. Unfortunately she had a large mass on her toe which prevented her from being able to walk without a boot, which after months leads to body pain throughout. Her poor foot and ankle always hurt, and swelled up real bad. She had pain throughout her body from the imbalance and reliance on crutches. I didn't think we could find a pair of hokas that would fit, and even better actually heal her feet. Then we came in and met Dan, the kindest most knowledgeable specialist we could have hoped for. He was patient and supportive at every step, through mama's laser measurements- which are amazing and they email them to you if requested. Then he began the work, we tried 4 great recommendations but alas none fit, all too tight around the ankle. But Dan wasn't done, he looked at the measurements and put in an order for a men's size in extra wide trusting it would fit- and if they didn't we could exchange within 30days. Four days later, my mom put on her first pair of shoes that fit in over a year. Im in tears of thanksgiving. To see her walking in a new pair of hokas, with proper balance and arch support. She's so excited and we are forever grateful. Also, they didn't try to sell me the most expensive pair, they had an awesome shoe that was less than what I expected! Take your loved one's here, they deserve it.
