FAQs
How do I find the right running shoe?
Visit our Running Shop, where our experts will help you find the perfect fit. We’ll analyze your gait, measure your foot with our state-of-the-art Volumental 3D Scanner, and guide you toward the best options from our curated selection.
What is gait analysis?
Gait analysis is the process of evaluating the way you walk or run to understand your movement patterns. By studying your foot strike, ankle and knee alignment, and any imbalances in your stride, our experts can determine the level of support and cushioning you need. This ensures you get shoes that enhance comfort, improve performance, and reduce the risk of injury.
Take me through the process?
We combine advanced technology with expert knowledge. First, you’ll walk or run on a treadmill while we record your stride. This video footage reveals your foot strike and leg alignment in motion. Next, we use the Volumental 3D scanner to capture precise measurements of your feet, along with pressure mapping that shows weight distribution and key contact points. Together, these insights allow us to recommend the perfect running shoes tailored to your stride and foot structure.
Why is the Volumental 3D scanner important?
The Volumental 3D scanner creates an exact digital model of your feet, measuring length, width, arch height, and pressure points with pinpoint accuracy. This ensures your shoes fit as well as they function—giving you the right support, reducing the chance of injury, and making every run more comfortable.
Do I need a gait analysis if I’m not a serious runner?
Yes! Whether you’re training for a marathon, running a few times a week, or just walking for fitness, the right shoes make a big difference. Gait analysis helps everyone find a pair that’s supportive, comfortable, and designed to move the way you do.
How do I schedule an appointment?
No appointment needed—just stop by our Running Footwear Department and one of our specialists will guide you through the gait analysis and shoe fitting process. Please note that peak hours can get busy, so visiting during slower times of the day or week will give you more personal attention and shorter wait times.
I went to Paragon Sports for a gait analysis and left knowing exactly what my feet needed. The team pinpointed my overpronation, showed me with video how I was landing, and helped me choose shoes with extra cushioning where I needed it most. My runs are more comfortable now, and no more nagging knee pain!
