Welcome to Runners' Edge
- Gait Analysis
Gait analysis, or running style assessment, is the key service we provide free to all our customers when buying their running shoes in our shop.
Running shoes are specifically designed to address a vast variety of foot shapes, weight differences, and biomechanical anomalies. It is difficult to know which shoe will work best for you.
The first step to being correctly fitted for running shoes, you will be surprised but about 60% of our customers first come in wearing the wrong size shoes. One of our trained team we will assess your foot arch, to see if your arches need any required support. We then test your gait on the treadmill, by you running a short distance. a video recording is taken, and played back in slow motion were we can give you detailed feedback of your running style, and asses your arches where we can determine if you require more support or any other problems.
From here, running shoes can be recommended in order to make your running style as efficient as possible and help reduce the risk of injury.
