Gait Analysis & Shoe Fitting

3RRC offers a personalized shoe fitting and gait analysis process to ensure the best possible fit for your individual needs. There is more to selecting the right shoe than picking your favorite colors; we take the time to listen to your personal history, to check your previous footwear, and to ask about your fitness goals when we fit you for shoes. You do not need to set up an appointment to do an in-store gait analysis.

Proper gait analysis & shoe fitting can

-Improve performance
-Reduce injuries
-Increase enjoyment of running or walking
-Enhance overall comfort

When you visit 3RRC for a new pair of shoes, you can be confident that you will leave with the best possible shoe for your foot type and individual needs. We will begin by measuring your feet by length, width, and arch. From there, we will put you in a neutral shoe and watch you run or walk on a treadmill for a few minutes. While you are on the treadmill, we will take some footage of your gait, which we will then review on our software system to determine what type of shoe will be most beneficial. After we analyze your gait, we will bring you a variety of brands and models for you to test out.

This process is beneficial for walkers, runners, those with jobs that keep them on their feet for several hours, individuals with foot injuries, and much more. We fit people of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Do I need an appointment for a gait analysis?

A. No, you do not need an appointment. We offer our one-on-one shoe fitting on a first-come first-serve basis. All of our staff members are trained in our gait analysis and shoe fitting process and we are available to help you find your perfect shoe any time during our normal business hours!

Q. Do you charge for the gait analysis?

A. We do not charge for our gait analysis process, but we do reserve the process for customers who are looking to purchase shoes that day. We offer our gait analysis and shoe fitting process to every new customer.

Q: How long does a gait analysis take?

A: Anywhere from 10-45 minutes depending on a number of factors. For that reason we ask that if you'd like to take part in the entire fitting process that you arrive at least 30 minutes before we close. This will ensure you receive the best possible experience!

Q. Do I need to be a runner to purchase shoes from you?

A. Nope! Our shoes work for a myriad of purposes and issues. We are happy to help you find the perfect shoes for running, walking, work, standing for long periods of time, and much more!

Q: Do you carry walking shoes?

A: Yes, all of our shoes can be used for walking or running!

Q: What's the difference between your shoes and the shoes at a department store?

A: Materials, research, quality..... Pretty much everything but the logo. With running and walking shoes, you get what you pay for. Our shoes are made specifically for high impact and long term wear so they will be more supportive, comfortable, and last you longer than a generic shoe from a department store.

Q: What's the best brand of shoe?

A: There isn't one. What feels good on one person's feet might feel awful on someone else's and vice versa. The best way to figure out which one is best for you is to get a gait analysis and try some on!

Q: Do you have sales?

A: We have an ongoing sale section of recently updated shoes. Our sale shoes are priced between 20 - 30% off their regular price. We also have a clearance section with shoes that are multiple years old and gently used shoes. That section is up to 60% off the original price. We also have sales the day before the Fort4Fitness fall festival and the weekend after Thanksgiving.
