Gate Analysis and Shoe Fitting

At the Charlotte Running Company we like to think that we do things a little differently then most other running stores.

We place a tremendous amount of importance in getting you in the right shoe the first time! That's why we utilize a treadmill and video feedback in the store to properly analyze each customer's individual gait. Other stores will often make a recommendation based on the presence of, or lack of an arch, or have you bend at the knees to determine whether or not support is needed. These methods are not always 100% accurate, and let's face it, you're not buying shoes to bend at the knees!

Each of our employees is specially trained to correctly analyze your individual gait, and then give you options. You'll never see us just bringing out one brand of shoes, and telling you that's what you need. We understand that the fit of a shoe varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, and because of this, our goal is to find the brand which is not only going to offer the appropriate amount of support and cushioning for your particular needs, but also fit your feet the best!
