What can you expect at Runners’ lab?

Personalized shoe advice based on your unique foot profile

Service and experience

Our consultants are happy to bring their experience and passion for running to you, the client. Thanks to the professional and comprehensive service, you are guaranteed to step out with the right shoe and the right advice. This way you experience the best possible experience while running.

Injury prevention

Did you know that 40% of all running injuries are caused by the wrong shoe? The right type of shoe depends on many factors, such as the surface, your physique, distance, foot type, injury history… Each technical running shoe is therefore constructed differently, according to specific needs. With our experience and passion, we select the best technical products on the market.

Your feet choose the shoe

How can we ensure that the choice of your new pair of shoes does not depend on your favorite color? Very simple. By not displaying them in our stores. Our consultants will work with you and technological equipment to find the optimal type of shoe depending on your unique foot profile.

Our mission is to help clients run injury-free

BEAT THE BOUNCE

Why is a good sports bra even more important than the right shoe?

Wearing the wrong sports bra not only has a detrimental effect on your body, but also your athletic performance.

MORE INFORMATION

What is the process of visiting Runners’ lab?

Each Runners’ lab store is equipped with a 30m long test track with a 2m footscan® plate in the middle on which the gait analysis is performed. Based on the results, our consultants provide feedback and recommend shoes and/or orthotics that will allow you to continue running injury-free.

Step 1. Introduction

Running is a hugely varied sport and can be experienced in a variety of ways. This is why we attach enormous importance to a personal talk, in which we ask about all your personal preferences and needs.

Step 2. Let’s run

Now that we know your running history and preferences, your foot pattern comes into play. Each store is equipped with a 30-meter test track with built-in footscan® technology to visualize this.

Step 3. The shoes

After the analysis, the consultant chooses some suitable models from the wide stock. Did you know that we are one of the only specialty stores in Europe to have width sizes and running or walking shoes up to size 52? From all major well-known and small specialized brands, we offer only the top models that meet our quality label. On average, our shoes range between €130 and €190.

Step 4. Test your shoes

The various models the consultant selects for you are tested one by one on the test track. Based on your findings and the results of the Footscan® technology, we look for the model with the best combination of support and fit.

Step 5. Runners’ service

If necessary, the insoles of your shoes will be adjusted in our workshop. This customization allows it to accommodate asymmetry or provide additional support for your feet at specific pressure points. These adjustments are also free of charge and included in our comprehensive service.

What does this comprehensive service cost?

A footscan® analysis, comprehensive personal consultation and insole adjustments are completely free of charge with the purchase of a pair of shoes. Want some time to think about it before purchasing the shoe? Then we charge a deposit of €30. You will receive this back in the form of a voucher when you purchase the shoes at a later date.
