Our Shoe Screen uses a three-pronged approach to help you determine the type of running shoe that is appropriate for you.

Video Analysis
  • Using our state-of-the-art computerized video analysis software, we will watch you run both in your current running shoes and without any shoes. Your running style is one of the primary determinants of the type of shoe appropriate for your feet.

Foot Posture

  • What do your feet look like when standing, walking and running? Are your feet overpronated or do you have high arches? We will look at your feet (and knees and hips) to note any areas of weakness and any areas that may require extra support or cushion.

Shoe Wear Patterns

  • During the screen, we will have you bring in a pair of your running shoes (both an older and more recent pair) to further see what you do when running. Surprisingly, this tells us quite a detailed story as to what your feet (and other parts of your legs) do when running. Using the wear patterns on your shoes will help us determine what shoes are most appropriate for you.
