Gait Analysis
Advance Performance - the running store for everyone
Running shoes - how do you know which one is for you? Do you go for the same as your mate down the club because they are faster than you, do you choose the ones you like the colour of or do you try to get the optimum blend of cushioning and support for your unique running style.
The wrong choice CAN cause all sorts of problems and there are hundreds of different running shoes available, and they are all slightly different. If your foot is not being supported properly your body will not absorb shock efficiently, and with up to four times your body weight going through your feet when you run this can cause an incredible amount of stress. This in turn can lead to problems not just with the feet but the legs, knees, hips and spine - in short the whole body.
So now you know that the wrong choice can lead to problems, how can you find the right choice? We believe that our VIDEO GAIT ANALYSIS is the best way of choosing running shoes, that's why everyone who buys shoes from our store is offered this free* service.
All of our staff are trained to take many different variables into account to find the ideal shoe for you, including what we see when we look at your feet while standing and when you run on our in-store treadmill. We will also take into account your build, where you run and how far you run. With over seventy different shoes to choose from, and six brands we can offer you a wide choice of suitable options and weather permitting you can then try them outside. Basically we will spend as long as it takes with you to find the right running shoe for you, to help minimise your risk of injury.
There is no need to book a VIDEO GAIT ANALYSIS; there is always someone here to help you. If you can bring some old shoes with you (good or bad) that will help us a bit more and if you can bring some shorts with you (it is very helpful if we can see your knees while you are running.) But don't worry if you can't / don't want to bring these things with you we can lend you a pair of shorts.
* Advance Performance are pleased to offer a Free Video Gait Analysis to all customers wishing to purchase running shoes. This service is Free to people who buy or order shoes on the day of their Gait Analysis. Due to the time spent undertaking a Gait Analysis a nominal charge of £25.00 may be made to those who choose not to purchase shoes at the time of their Gait Analysis.
