EXCLUSIVE FIT PERFECT GAIT ANALYSIS


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


The technology that has gone into fitness shoes over the past decade has made it possible to fit nearly every foot type. Shoes are now specifically designed to address a vast variety of foot shapes, weight differences, and biomechanical anomalies. There is simply no way most people can buy shoes off the internet  or box stores and know they will both fit your feet and be the correct shoes for you in terms of your foot function.


At The Starting Block our team will actually 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 accomplish this with our exclusive Fit Perfect Analysis system.


We have studied and researched how shoe fitting and gait analysis techniques are being done around the world. We merged the very best concepts we found into our system.


Ultimately this lead to the development of our unique “FIT PERFECT" system. 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

  4. BulletDynamic Leg Rotation

  5. BulletMid-line Evaluation

  6. BulletFoot Width

  7. BulletShoe Tilt Analysis

  8. BulletFoot Flexibility Evaluation

  9. BulletLeft and Right Pronation Review


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!


The total “FREE” Fit Perfect process takes about 20-25 minutes to complete.


Using our Fit Perfect system our staff has professional fit over 1,700 individuals in just the past year.  We have been able to use this massive database to expand our service and improve the information we need to analyze your unique biomechanics.


We have a complete line of very specialized shoes. We cover all different foot shapes and foot motion, from narrow heels to wide forefeet, heavily pronated to extremely high arched feet. Whatever your foot shape or foot function, we'll have a shoe to match your feet.
