Absolutely worth having this done if they seem to know what they're doing. Having shoes that aren't right for you will come back back and haunt you as you move through the programme otherwise...

I would advise its worth it, but you need to choose a specialist running shop👍🏼

Many people could no doubt not bother with gait analysis, randomly buy their shoes based on colour or style and suffer no ill effects, but if you do have issues that need addressing, then a gait analysis and appropriate shoes may prevent future injury.

Yes! Gait analysis and proper running shoes totally transformed my running. It's worth the money, 100% 😀

It’s expensive (around £120)when you get the shoes but I definitely needed something to support massive over pronation! I wanted bright On trainers but ended up with black Saucony’s. Not what I’d have chosen but I’d have got something totally wrong for my feet. It took a couple of weeks to get used to them but now they’re perfectly moulded to me! I had started to get possible shin splint pain but that went after a few days in gait analysis shoes.

It was worth it for me. ☺

I’d got new shoes after I had gait analysis done after W5. The first run or two felt slightly odd but I soon got used to them but haven’t had any feet related issues. I don’t know if I would have had any injuries otherwise and I suppose we’ll never know but having had a dodgy ankle years ago I don’t want to risk anything.
