The objective of gait analysis is to determine the runner’s foot motion or style, then select shoes that best suit their running style.
Normal foot ankle movement is where the foot strikes on the outside, often at the heel, rolls inward keeping the foot ankle line straight and pushes off from the ball of the foot. This motion is called pronation. Many people over or under pronate, where the foot rolls too much or too little, this might not be a problem until you start running where the extra stress causes biomechanical problems and injury.
Manufacturers of quality running shoes make a range of shoes to work with different running styles and foot shapes. We can determine your running style by analysing a slowed down recording of you running on a treadmill. We then make a selection of shoes to best suit your style. You can then choose a pair that fit the best, feel most comfortable and you like the look of.
