Choosing the right running shoe isn’t just about size or style — it’s about how your body moves. A gait analysis is a short, professional assessment that examines how you walk and run. By observing your foot strike, leg alignment, and overall motion, we can understand how your body interacts with the ground. Everyone’s gait is unique, and even small differences can have a big impact on comfort, performance, and injury prevention.
During a gait analysis, we use a specialist gait analysis app to capture how your feet land and roll with each step. Our trained staff then review the footage in slow motion to identify patterns such as overpronation (foot rolling inward), supination (rolling outward), or a neutral stride. These insights help us determine what type of shoe will best support your natural movement — whether it’s extra stability, cushioning, or flexibility.
The result? A personalised shoe recommendation designed specifically for you. The right pair will help improve running efficiency, reduce the risk of common injuries like shin splints or knee pain, and make every run feel smoother and more enjoyable.
Even if you’re not a runner, gait analysis can benefit anyone who spends time on their feet. From casual walkers to competitive athletes, understanding your gait is the first step toward better comfort, performance, and long-term foot health.
At Running Hub, our goal is to match every customer with shoes that fit not just their feet, but their movement. A quick gait analysis takes only a few minutes — but it can make all the difference in how you move every day.
