Running Shoes Fitting & Gait Analysis, Run Lab, Profeet Fulham London

WHY HAVE YOUR RUNNING SHOES CUSTOM FITTED?

It all starts with your feet

There’s a lot more to running than simply putting one foot in front of the other!

Our feet are highly complex and form the primary support structure of our bodies. Finding a running shoe that fits and supports your feet correctly is therefore key.

Added to this, our bodies are unique and our biomechanics and the way we run are so individual that it can be hard to categorise a runner into the generic shoe profiles that the manufacturers use. A tailored solution is the answer…

That’s where our experts come in.

Please note, this service is by appointment only.

Our running shoe fitting and biomechanical assessments can include:

1

Biomechanical Assessment and Analysis
Our comprehensive biomechanical assessment is second to none. We start by assessing your foot shape, type and function before using state-of-the-art analysis technology* to better understand your running movements and foot function and build a picture of your footwear and custom insole needs.

 

*We use HD video gait analysis and 3D foot pressure scanning technologies and our 3D MOTION LAB assessments can help us delve deeper into your running technique.

 

2

Custom Insoles
Custom insoles are the secret of the Profeet custom run fit. Custom moulded to your feet, they provide individual support and cushioning for your needs. They are then hand finished to fit and work with your shoes fine-tuning the support and cushioning while also improving the fit and comfort. They are the essential element of a truly bespoke footwear solution.

Running Shoe Selection

We are fanatical experts in running shoes and work closely with shoe manufacturers to select the best possible range of running shoes for our customers.

 

Based on your assessment and analysis we select the most appropriate shoes from our range for your foot shape, foot type, function and running biomechanics. We then test the relevant models to narrow down the selection.

 

Having chosen the best model, the fit and support is fine-tuned to your exact needs by fitting your custom insoles to your shoes.
