Whether you are new to running and have set yourself a run challenge, you are an experienced runner struggling with injuries or you just want to make sure you have a comfy pair of shoes, it’s worth doing.

QUESTIONS:

How long does it take?

It depends on how many shoes you want to test, usually around 30-60mins – but don’t worry you won’t need to run for the whole time. You will need to take 50 steps for each pair of shoes you try.

How much does it cost?

We charge £30 per session, however if you buy a pair of shoes from us we will discount £15 off the shoes.

What should I wear?

It’s useful to bring your current running shoes, and wear some tight fitting running kit or shorts so that we can clearly see your foot strike.

Do I need to book?

It is advisable to email or give us a call so that we can guarantee that we can fit you in and we aren’t helping someone else out already.

Can i have gait analysis for walking?

Yes, ARION have a new addition to their system that can analyse your walking gait.

How often should you have gait analysis?

If you are new to running, having problems whilst running or if you are thinking of changing the brand or style of shoes you normally wear.

How often should you change your running shoes?

We recommend between 300-400 miles of running but if you notice any obvious signs of excessive wear and tear in the sole unit it’s time for a change.
