About us

Runners’ lab aims to improve your sports performances while avoiding sports injuries. They do this with professional advice for both recreational runners and professional athletes.

Our ambition

Runners’ lab was founded in 1980 with the ambition to help people run, injury-free.

Analysis

We take a running or walking analysis on a 30-meter test track with integrated 2-meter Footscan® technology.

Advise

Based on the results, we provide feedback and recommend shoes and/or insoles that allow you to continue running, injury-free.

Custom work

Our advisors provide personal advice and can also guide you personally.

We choose

The best running and walking shoes in the market

Through years of partnerships with running brands and a mutual trust, Runners’ lab is able to select and offer the best running and walking shoes in the market. Based on extensive technical knowledge of materials and biomechanical insights, the best models are selected.

We test

In our Prolab and with our experts

The theory of good shoes is easy to describe, but difficult to accomplish. Therefore, we test. Does the product meet expectations? We test it in our Prolab and with our experts. Does it not satisfy? Then it will not be in our range.

We learn

The latest developments in the running market

With on-the-job coaching, product training and traning days, we keep each other abreast of the latest developments in the running market, materials and products.

We use
