When you come in for a complete fitting, plan to spend about 20-30 minutes with us. You don't need an appointment, and all of our staff are trained to give you a professional fit. We'll take a few measurements on each foot while you are sitting and standing to examine your foot's flexibility. We'll also analyze your gait and watch you walking barefoot. Once we've selected a pair or two for you to start with, we'll check the fit and function of the shoe compared to your foot. Depending on your activity of choice, we'll watch you take a few strides in the shoes either walking or jogging.

If you have custom orthotics, it's not a bad idea to bring them in with you. It's not 100% necessary, but it will give us a better idea of how the shoes will work in relation to the orthotics. It's also a good idea to bring your favorite pair of socks along for the fitting.

There are a couple of things to think about when you come in for a fitting:

1. We'll ask you a few questions about injuries and discomfort you may be having with your current shoes or just in general. Don't hold back, all instances of pain are relevant even if they happen when you aren't running.
   
2. We'll watch you walk in the store barefoot, and with the shoes you'll be trying on. If you want to see for yourself, you are welcome to take a stroll on our treadmill as we videotape your stride.
   
3. It's a great idea to try on shoes after a workout or a long day on your feet. This will give you a good idea of how the shoes will feel after a long day. Your feet should be comfortable in your new shoes after a bit of running, walking, or work...so even if you are a little sweaty, don't worry about coming in for a fitting.
   
4. We're not shy. We'll get right to it when fitting you for shoes. We'll measure your feet, tie your shoes, and make sure everything fits just right.

Our current shoe wall contains models by Adidas, Asics, Brooks, Mizuno, New Balance, Nike, and Saucony. There really isn't a “best shoe” or “best brand” for everyone. We believe it is more important to select the right type of shoe and try on several brands to determine which model fits your foot the best.
