In order to determine which type of shoe is right you need to do a Biomechanical Gait Analysis. It is the most personalized specific way to examine your unique stride and how your body reacts to the forces of running. There are shoes made for different types of running and different body structures. You need the one that is right for you. We specialize and pride ourselves in being the absolutely most knowledgeable in fitting for the right structure of shoe.

This process is comprised of three steps:

(1) Assessing your running habits and goals: What type of running do you do? What goals are you training for? The distance you run and the surface you run on influence the type of shoe you should wear.

(2) Running Gait Analysis: We will use our slow motion video technology to analyze your running gait. This will allow us to assess your pronation tendencies. Your degree of pronation is the key factor in determining the amount of stability or motion control your shoes need

to offer. It is unique and varies greatly from person to person.

(4) The Test Ride: Based on the information gathered in the above steps, we will bring out a few shoes that we feel best meet your needs. Now, all of the analysis and technology takes a back seat to how the shoe actually feels to you.

You will take a little jog on our in-store track or treadmill, or if you like, the sidewalk outside, and give us your feedback on how the shoes feel. This is referred to as the Fit, Feel, and Ride. How is the fit in the length, width, heel, and toe box? How does the shoe conform overall to your foot? How is the cushioning and responsiveness? How does the shoe transition the weight from heel to toe?
