Best sporting goods store in Sarasota, Florida (FL) 2025

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with A.J.Fenton yesterday in the Cattlemen Rd store. The surroundings were very well done and welcoming. A.J. was knowledgeable, kind and patient. I'm sure I'll love my comfy new walking sneakers. ~Barbara

Ironically found this store while looking at color choices for shoes I had been fitted for at Fit2Run a few days earlier. So glad because my experience here was leagues beyond the Fit2Run. I was greeted by Melanie upon entering and after a friendly conversation she begin a thorough analysis of my feet. She asked important questions about past injuries, my activities and listened intently. She was exceptionally patient during the shoe fitting process. With a more accurate and thorough fitting than I received at Fit2Run, our starting point was already more comfortable than the ending at the previous store. She continued asking questions honing in on the perfect fit. After two hours (like I said PATIENCE) I can say unequivocally that in all my life I have never had a shoe fit so equisitely. What a feeling!! I will say try to have an open mind as for brands etc. Be sure to share past experiences but also be willing to try again under their expert knowledge and guidance. My previous experience with Brooks left me not inclined to try them again but ironically that is where we found MY perfect fit. If that's what your looking for, your perfect fit, this is definitely the right place to be. ~Anne
