Looking for the right running shoe?

Visit our running shop, where our experts will help you find the perfect fit. We’ll analyze your gait to determine the support you need and then guide you to the best options from our selection.

What is Gait Analysis?

Gait analysis is a process that evaluates the way you walk or run to understand your movement patterns. By analyzing your gait, our experts can identify how your feet strike the ground, the alignment of your ankles and knees, and any imbalances in your stride. This information is crucial in selecting the right running shoes that provide the appropriate level of support and cushioning, helping to improve your performance, enhance comfort, and reduce the risk of injury.

How Does it Work?

To ensure the most accurate gait analysis, we use a treadmill to record your stride as you walk or run. This video footage allows our experts to closely examine your foot strike, the alignment of your legs, and any patterns in your movement. In addition, we take heat impressions of your foot, which reveal pressure points and areas of contact with the ground. Together, these methods provide a comprehensive view of your gait, allowing us to pinpoint specific needs in terms of support, stability, and cushioning. This detailed assessment helps us recommend the ideal running shoes tailored to your unique stride and foot structure.
