OUR PROCESS
Consultation
First, we'll have a chat to you about any niggles or injuries, your goals, and your have a look at your current footwear to figure out what features your new shoes should include.
-
Plus, we'll measure your feet to check you are in the right size and width.
OUR PROCESS
Testing
Based on the information from the consultation, our friendly fitters will bring out some different options for you to try.
-
If you don't like what we pick out, no problem! Your feedback helps find the perfect fit
OUR PROCESS
Gait Analysis
With each pair of shoes we bring out for you to try, you'll get the opportunity to run in them - either outside or on the treadmill.
-
Here, we're checking for any movement patterns which may indicate a different pair is needed. That's okay, we'll find something that works!
OUR PROCESS
After Care
Once we've found your perfect fit, you're on your way to achieving your running goals.
-
If for some reason the shoes aren't quite right, that's okay - some things we don't know until you try them. All shoes fitted in-store with one of our team members are covered by our 30-Day Fit Guarantee.
-
Just bring the shoes back within 30-days of purchase, and we'll find a solution that works for you. More information here
