Introduction<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Our advisors value personal contact and commitment. So to clearly picture your situation and preferences, we are curious about you. What are your ambitions, what is your experience, do you have or have you suffered any injuries, what surface do you prefer to run on, are you an experienced runner\/walker or even a (top) athlete? We ask targeted questions so you can run, perform and enjoy yourself to the fullest.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]2. Let’s run or walk<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]After the introductory consultation, we map out the unique unrolling pattern of your feet. Our branches are equipped with a 30 m long test track with built-in footscan\u00ae technology. This advanced technology records your roll-off pattern and unique foot profile with more than 500 frames per second and +16,000 pressure sensors.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]The beauty of this scientific technology is that our consultant can derive a lot of information from it. Which part of your foot catches the most pressure, do you land on your heels, mid or forefoot, do you have a sagging foot or a hollow foot, do you pronate or supinate? Even the risk of certain injuries (shin splints, achilles tendon problems, knee problems, hip or back problems) our advisors may derive from this.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]3. The shoes<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]With your personal foot profile in mind, our consultant travels to the stock where selection is made among the hundreds of different models. Did you know that as one of the only specialty stores in Europe, we also have width sizes and running shoes up to size 52? Runners’ lab has been known for years for its wide range of shoes to cater to every runner.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]4. Test your shoe<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]The different models our advisor selects for you are then tested one by one on our 30m long test track.

Runners’ service<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]If necessary, the insoles of your shoes will be adjusted in our workshop.
