Although many factors such as color, shape, weight, cushioning and
price can influence your selection of a running shoe, we believe that
finding the right shoe starts with the foot! Keep in mind
that the running shoe serves as a a structural and functional
extension of the foot. Chosen correctly,
it can improve your running. Chosen improperly, it can
amplify biomechanical and functional flaws thereby increasing your
risk of injury.
When fitting shoes, we use a detailed step-by-step
process that will provide you with helpful information in choosing the
correct shoe. We first discuss your particular needs by asking
you questions about your running, training goals, predominant running
surface, mileage and history of injury. If you bring in your old
shoes, we will examine the wear pattern and use that information
in the selection process.
We will determine your foot type by assessing the structure of the
foot including shape, width, volume and arch height. We
then analyze the gait cycle that is unique to each runner by observing
the biomechanics of the foot in motion. Our staff will select a
variety of styles and brands of shoes for you to try by matching your
foot characteristics and biomechanical needs to the proper category of
shoes.
Finally, we let you test the shoes outside on the sidewalk or on an
in-house treadmill where we can analyze your running gait in various
shoes using our computerized video analysis system. We can give
you frame byframe analysis which is useful in helping you to
understand which shoes would work best to keep you running happy and
injury free.
