The Five Step Process
Step 1 — Chat: Your running background, injury history and goals.
Step 2 — Foot assessment: Foot length/width and arch height for size and fit.
Step 3 — Gait check: Barefoot/with shoes on our treadmill; we observe foot strike, pronation and alignment (recorded on camera).
Step 4 — Shoe selection: We shortlist models to suit your gait, terrain and goals.
Step 5 — Test & refine: Try options on the track/treadmill; we review video and confirm the best fit.
Price: Complimentary with footwear advice (no obligation to buy).
