Gait Analysis

[old_git]

I was going to buy a new pair of running shoes from Sports Direct as I was pretty sure I wanted control shoes as my feet are flat, however, I went to a specialist running shop near me and had the gait analysis done.

Really glad I did as it turns out my gait is nearly neutral. The guy in the shop spent ages letting me try on suitable shoes from 4 manufacturers and give them a go on the treadmill. Again this was really beneficial as one pair aggravated the top of my right foot when I ran and I am sure would have caused me problems. In the end it came down to a choice of two and he suggested I ran with odd shoes to see which felt more comfortable.

Result! I have a new pair of shoes that are really comfortable and support my mild over pronation.

Warning sunglasses needed!

P.S. A tenner more than on-line, but well worth it for the buying experience.

I like those! That's the problem I had with one pair, irritating the top of the foot..

[old_git Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

the offending shoes felt comfortable until i ran. Think i would have had real problems.

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to old_git]

Yes, the ones I bought gave me a big lump on my big toe joint, they were Brooks Adrenaline. Strangely I had the opposite problem, they were comfortable when I ran but hurt when I walked, but I think they were rubbing all the time.

Oooh beauuuutiful! Why are mens shoes so much better for colours than the ladies? (Pink pink pink or purple).

Which shop did you get them from? Sounds like you had a great experience.. xx

Hi SpikyMoss, sorry for delay. I bought them in a small independant called 'Metres to Miles' in Epworth, North Lincolnshire. Wasn't my intention to get bright colours, but they are really comfortable.
