Services
Shoe Fitting
Our expert staff conducts comprehensive shoe fittings using patented iStep technology to analyze arch type, foot size, and pressure points. This data combined with our team's running expertise ensures optimal footwear choices for injury prevention and performance. We offer a 10-day guarantee on all purchases to ensure satisfaction.
Gait Analysis
Using advanced motion capture technology, we analyze walking/running mechanics to identify biomechanical inefficiencies. This assessment helps recommend footwear and orthotics that correct imbalances and improve running efficiency. Our staff interprets results through the lens of real-world running experience.
Orthotic Inserts
Based on foot scans and gait analysis, we prescribe orthotic inserts tailored to individual arch structures and activity levels. These medical-grade supports prevent foot pain and enhance comfort during athletic activities. Our fitting process ensures compatibility with chosen footwear.
Running Clubs
We organize weekly Monday Fun Runs with 4-6 mile route options and sponsor local racing teams. These events foster community connections while providing structured training opportunities. Participants gain access to expert coaching insights and peer support networks.
Training Programs
Our staff shares expertise in training regimens for all distances from cross-country to marathons. Programs incorporate injury prevention strategies and performance optimization techniques developed through decades of collective running experience. We accommodate all skill levels from beginners to competitive athletes.
