Ever wondered how we help runners find the right shoe?
When you come in for a running gait analysis, we’re not just looking at how fast you run or what brand you like. We look at a few key things:
• How your foot lands – heel, midfoot, or forefoot
• How your foot moves through the stride (does it roll in, out, or stay fairly neutral?)
• Your natural stride and cadence – everyone runs a bit differently
• Your running goals – easy miles, long runs, racing, trails, or a mix
• Comfort first – because the “best” shoe is useless if it doesn’t feel good on your foot
One very common mistake we see? Buying shoes that are too small.
Your feet swell when you run (yes, even on short runs), and you generally need about a thumb’s width of space at the front. Tight shoes can lead to black toenails, blisters, numb toes, and all kinds of avoidable niggles.
Our job isn’t to push a “magic” shoe — it’s to translate what we see into simple, practical advice so you leave in something that supports your running.
Pop in, jump on the treadmill, and let’s find shoes that actually work with your stride.
