Gait Analysis FAQ

What is Gait Analysis

3D Gait Analysis is a service we provide at About The Run to help choose the best shoe for you. Our 3D Gait Analysis appointment is free with the purchase of running shoes, otherwise there is £30 charge

At the start of the appointment we will ask some questions to help us understand any history of injuries, what goals do you have, what kind of running you do or if you are simply just starting and want to get the perfect pair of shoes.

RUNRIGHT-3D uses two 3D cameras to scan the body, creating a 3D skeleton. RUNRIGHT-3D then assesses that skeleton to obtain 5 metrics that will rank the shoe and highlight the one which best fits your running style.

We will ask you to run on a treadmill for about a minute at a speed you are comfortable with in order to asses each shoe.

At the end of the process and based on the 3D Gait Analysis recommendations and your own preference you'll be able to choose the best running shoe for you

Do I need to book a Gait Analysis appointment

No, you can just visit the Store. Please note that at busy times there might be a short wait.

How long does the Gait Analysis take

It will depend on each customer but it will typically take between 20-30'

Is Gait Analysis free

Yes, our 3D Gait Analysis is free when you buy a pair of shoes from us.

If you have a Gait Analysis and decide not to buy shoes from us, there is a £30 charge. However, you can use this as a credit for a pair of shoes if you come back within 30 days. Please note that we won't be able to do another Gait Analysis and you will only be allowed to use the credit against a pair of full price shoes

Is there anything I need to bring

Our 3D Gait Analysis uses infrared cameras that are more accurate when cutomers wear shorts or leggings, but wear what you are comfortable with.

If you currently have any running shoes, we would start the process by recording you running on them but this not necessary

What if I am not a fast runner

Don't worry, you don't need to run fast or have been running for a long time in order to benefit from our 3D Gait Analysis. We will ask you to run on a treadmill at a speed you are comfortable with. Don't worry if you haven't ran on a treadmill before, we will guide you until you feel comfortable.

We also know that not everyone is comfortable running on a treadmill in the middle of a shop, that's why we designed our Gait Analysis area so you can have some privacy
