Meet the Staff

In 2005 the Fleet Feet Hickory team was built. Our owners, Juliet, and Stephen Horan wanted to create a store to help the Hickory running community find proper comfort. At Fleet Feet Hickory, we are blessed to have a team that truly knows running. Over the past 19 years, we have built a team of people who are committed to finding your perfect fit, whether it be for crushing your running goals or fixing discomfort. We strive to go above and beyond to get you into the right gear for whatever life brings at you. 

Stop by the store to get to know us better, ask questions, or get engaged in all the community events that are occurring at the store!

Ethan is a Hickory native, having competed at Hickory High and Lenoir Rhyne for both the cross-country and track team. He loves creating connections with customers and ultimately helping people find what they need! When Ethan is not at the store, you can find him running or playing basketball with his friends. 

Scot Hayward - Training Group Coordinator and Outfitter

Originally from Texas, Scot is our Training Group Coordinator and an experienced outfitter.
