OUR EXCLUSIVE FIT PERFECT GAIT ANALYSIS


Why should you be professionally fit for running and walking shoes?


The technology that has gone into running and walking shoes over the past decade has made it possible to fit nearly every foot type.


Our trained staff will take you through our exclusive Fit Perfect fitting process and prescribe the correct shoes for you - taking into account running style, running goals, body type and build, foot and body biomechanics, foot shape and profile, and injury status.


We studied and researched how shoe fitting and gait analysis techniques were being done around the world. We took the very best and merged those concepts into our exclusive fitting system. You won’t find a system like ours ANYWHERE!


The Starting Block offers 'state-of-the-art' video gait analysis (Fit Perfect System). This technique allows us to review your gait, foot, alignment and pronation degree in both a dynamic and static setting. This dynamic shoe fitting process is EXCLUSIVE to The Starting Block, and incorporates the following reviews:


  1. BulletArch Type

  2. BulletStatic Leg Axis

  3. BulletFoot Alignment

  5. BulletMid-line Evaluation

Video Gait Analysis

We will take 30-45 second of video while running or walking on a treadmill, with and without shoes. These images are then reviewed with you on a computer screen and played back frame-by-frame. Our trained staff will review the entire process with you. You will see for yourself how your legs and feet interact. After this process is complete you will understand how the correct shoes will dramatically improve your walking or running.  No special clothing or preparations are required. You won’t even break a sweat!
