Safety
In addition to having the right shoes for you and comfortable apparel, you need to be safe while out there on the roads. Fleet Feet carries an array of safety devices for the runner or walker. These include:
- Hats with lights, for early morning or evening exercise
- Brightly colored shirts, vests, hats, and other reflective gear so that drivers and bicylists can easily see you
- Pepper spray
- Lights that can attach to shoes or apparel
We'd like to keep you as a healthy, active customer, so please follow these safety tips while out.
- If you do run alone, stay in high traffic areas.
- Always walk/run facing traffic
- During early morning and night running/walking, wear reflective gear and/or a light
- Whenever possible, use the sidewalk instead of the road.
- If you are running with music, be aware of your surroundings.
- Carry pepper spray or mace.
- Remember to respect vehicles--they're bigger than you!
