Our Process

Enjoying life is hard when every step brings discomfort. Instead of spending time distracted by shoes or foot pain, be fully present in the parts of your life that matter.

We don’t rush you through the shoe-buying process. We take the time to help you find the highest quality, longest-lasting products to suit your specific needs.

To find the right fit, we:

  • Measure your feet for accurate sizing

  • Perform a gait analysis, looking for foot movements such as pronation (gait analysis takes into account dynamic foot motion, which is more informative than static analysis)

  • Check your current shoes’ wear pattern for additional clues about your gait

  • Ask essential questions including current pain or discomfort, injury history, and how you plan to use your new shoes

Once we determine what kind of shoe will support your specific needs, we bring our recommendations for you to try on and decide what looks and feels best. We also help you find a PowerStep insole for added comfort and pain relief/prevention.

You can then move through life comfortably and confidently, not thinking about your shoes until it’s time to see us again.
