when he opened the first running store in the state of Arkansas. He
opened Easy Runner in 1996 and has established a reputation for superior

dream of the couple who bring more than ten years of experience in the
specialty industry.
"Easy Runner has been a great part of my
life and I know that I will miss it," said Smith. "I feel comfortable
to now put it into the hands of Fleet Feet. Fleet Feet is a strong
company that shares my interest in careful fitting and attention to the
customer. The level of service and expertise they provide to their
customers around the country is exactly what we have strived to provide
