FINDING THE PERFECT FIT

We offer over 100 different models of shoes at Runners Plus, so we understand that it can seem very difficult to find the right pair. Don’t worry, though. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff will work with you to find the perfect pair of shoes for your feet.

Running Shoe Gait Analysis

It starts with a biomechanical gait analysis. First, one of our staff will take a look at your foot structure to observe the shape, symmetry, and structure of your feet. Next, we have you walk without shoes to observe your feet in motion. This is important, because the foot does not behave the same in a static position as it does while in motion.

If you are using the shoes for running, we will videotape you on a treadmill. This allows us to show you what we are looking for and provide more thorough analysis by slowing down your video frame by frame.

Based on what we observe and what you tell us about your running history, goals, and any pain you may have been having, we will bring 2-3 pairs of shoes for you to try. If you are planning on running in your new pair of shoes, test them out! If they are for walking, then walk around the store in them. Our observations while you do this will provide us with additional information, and it gives you a moment to get a sense of how they feel. The feedback you provide to our staff is extremely useful and helps us to guide you to the perfect fit.

At Runners Plus, we recognize that our success is only sustainable if the community that we serve is strong and healthy.  So whenever possible, we try to support worthwhile causes, including:

 

Girls On The Run of Dayton

Girls on the runGirls on the Run® is a 501(c)3 positive youth development program that combines an interactive curriculum and running to inspire self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen girls.  Their core curriculum addresses many aspects of girls’ development - including their physical, emotional, mental and social well-being.  Lessons provide girls with the tools to make positive decisions and to avoid risky adolescent behaviors.

We encourage you to choose one of the many opportunities to volunteer for this terrific organization. Please visit their website for more information.

 

Soles4Souls

Soles for SoulsSoles4Souls is a Nashville-based 501(c)(3) charity that collects shoes from the warehouses of footwear companies and the closets of people like you.  The charity distributes these shoes to people in need, regardless of race, religion, class, or any other criteria.  Since 2005, Soles4Souls has given away nearly 12 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes to people in over 125 countries, including Kenya, Thailand, Nepal and the United States. Soles4Souls has been featured in Runner's World, Ladies’ Home Journal, National Geographic’s Green Guide, and The New York Times and has appeared on CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, BBC, CNN and thousands of regional news outlets across North America.

Runners Plus is a Soles4Souls collection center, so the next time that you come in to buy new shoes, please bring your old ones in too.  We'll collect them and send them off to Soles4Souls so that they can be redistributed and reused.
