We welcome you to any of our lower mainland locations: Burnaby, Vancouver, and now Port Moody!
Fit First Footwear - Burnaby is just one minute off Highway 1 near Kensington & Sprott.

We stock sizes from women’s 5 up to men’s 16, in a wide range of widths. Get Directions
Fit First Footwear – Kitsilano (formerly LadySport) had been a trusted women’s-only store since 1983, offering the largest selection of women’s shoes in the Lower Mainland. As of December 15th, 2025 we’ve renovated and re-branded as Fit First Kits. This location now carries a more expansive selection including a large range of sizes and widths in shoes for both men & women. Get Directions
Runners Den - Port Moody was welcomed into the Fit First family on August 31, 2026. For decades, Paul and Penny had built The Runners’ Den into something truly special. A business known for its expertise, genuine relationships and deep connection to the local running community. We are incredibly grateful for the trust they’ve placed in us to carry forward what they have built. Get Directions
Evan Moore
I’ve always been connected to the world of running and footwear. My father was an original co-owner of LadySport (now Fit First), a well-known running store in Vancouver that has been a part of the local community for more than 40 years.
Working at the store gave me an early appreciation for the value of personalized service and the importance of creating a welcoming space for both runners and walkers.
After completing studies in both kinesiology and business, I was ready to follow my entrepreneurial spirit. In 2013, my father and I opened Fit First Footwear: Burnaby’s only locally owned and operated specialty running store.
Built on the legacy of Lady Sport, Fit First is dedicated to expert service and personalized fittings, with a focus on helping every customer find the right fit for their needs. In 2026, we welcomed Runner's Den into the Fit First family, extending our community to Port Moody.
When not in the store, I coordinate the Fit First Run Club and Running Clinics, helping new and experienced walkers and runners develop their skills, train for races, and build friendships.
Today, I’m supported by a skilled team of trained shoe fitters, and together we continue our commitment to creating a welcoming and knowledgeable environment here at Fit First Footwear. And, of course, helping you Find Your Fit.
Shoe Bank Donation Program
With the help of our community (customers like you!), vendor relationships, and events, we’ve managed to donate more than 1,000 pairs per year of lightly worn shoes around the Lower Mainland and beyond.
These shoes found new life with those with limited resources for proper footwear—including young athletes in the Burnaby school district, members of the Downtown Eastside community, walking groups in Surrey, and people in Africa, among others.
If you have lightly worn running shoes you’d like to donate, drop by either location and we’ll take them off your hands!
Alternatively, do you have a group who could benefit from the Shoe Bank Program? Let us know, we’d love to collaborate. Email us at info@fitfirst.ca
