GAIT ANALYSISThe Runners Forum helped to pioneer gait analysis. When we started in 1978, product selection and the concept of a customized fit were in their infancy. We were the first in Indiana to offer gait analysis as part of the shoe fitting process! Gait analysis is the process of assessing a persons's bio-mechanics while they walk or run. Through decades of experience, we have found that the most accurate assessment of a person's gait occurs when they walk or run on a natural surface, as you would be running outdoors. Our experience enables us to accurately and quickly assess each customer's gait in real time. Our entire staff of participant athletes is trained in the gait analysis techniques that we have developed since 1978.

SHOE FITIn addition to bio-mechanics, the Runners Forum staff takes into account your intended use, the shape of the foot, arch characteristics and size. We also factor in foot width, features including bunions, Morton's toe, bone structure, etc. Using this information, we will match you up to the right brands and shoe models for your specific needs. Our shoe inventory ranges from youth 1-6 and adult 5AA-16EEEE. The fitting process includes testing out different shoes side by side so our staff can assess how they match up to your specific requirements. Our experience and selection of the industry's leading brands ensures that your shoes will be optimally fit to meet your specific needs. Your satisfaction is guaranteed!
