About Athlete's Foot
Robert and David Lando had a unique vision in 1971--to open a store specializing in athletic footwear. That year they opened the first The Athlete's Foot in Pittsburgh. The first franchise opened in 1972 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and the first international location opened in 1978 in Adelaide, Australia. The Athlete's Foot now operates company-owned and franchise locations in more than 40 countries. The company develops stores in malls, shopping districts and as freestanding locations. Each store sells name-brand athletic footwear and apparel. There are also The Athlete's Foot For Her stores, which specialize in athletic footwear and apparel for girls and women.
The Athlete’s Foot is more than just a retail store; it’s a destination
for athletic street style. At The Athlete’s Foot, we want to be known for encouraging
our customers to break the rules and explore the unexpected. So we’re
transforming into a place with a pulse on the street that offers them
the chance to craft their own story through clothing and style.
