How to find the right running shoe with us

The choice of running shoes is almost endless. There are so many different models for different purposes. Shoes for races, training, trail running, triathlon and more. In short: The variety of models is so great that a mistake on the shelf without appropriate advice or previous knowledge is almost inevitable. This can have unsightly consequences that often go far beyond blue toenails. Serious advice from experienced specialists is therefore not a luxury, but a must for all runners.

And this is what our running shoe consultation looks like in concrete terms in four steps:

Step 1: Needs analysis and purpose

First, we will discuss your needs and the intended use with you. What distances do you want to run, what is your level, are you looking for a competition shoe or rather a training shoe, which surface do you prefer? If you have your old running shoe with you, let’s take a look at the load profile, which already gives us the first important clues.

Step 2: Analysis on the Pressure Plate

Now you walk in your socks over our highly sensitive pressure plate. The AI-supported software helps us to suggest the most suitable shoes based on your gait. In this selection process, we not only rely on modern technology, but we also make full use of our know-how and many years of experience.

Step 3: Trial run and assessment

The next step is to try on the suggested shoes and run them on our indoor running track. We observe you, paying attention to the position of your feet, the leg axis and hip movement. But just as important is how you feel in the shoes. In this way, we narrow down the models in question.

Step 4: Check on the Pressure Plate

With the favorite(s) you now run over the pressure plate again. Here we can see how well the shoe fits you and can make the final selection.

Other tips for buying a running shoe:

Bring old running shoes

The old running shoe usually helps with the consultation: Depending on where the sole has expired, the running type can be determined with relatively high certainty.

Buy shoes in the afternoon

The feet swell during the day and during the run (up to a number). It is therefore advisable to try on the shoes in the afternoon. For morning customers: Buy something “too big”. It is therefore advisable to try on the shoes in the afternoon. For morning customers: Buy something “too big”.

Special triathlon running shoes

There are special running shoes for triathlon. These differ mainly by the following details of conventional running shoes: These differ from conventional running shoes mainly in the following details:

Inner material that can be run without socks
Quick lacing system so that the shoes can be put on and off without strings and still sit full
Entry aids on the shoe for a quick changeover
Ventilation holes in the sole

At least the quick lacing system can be retrofitted with all running shoes without great cost and with little effort (e.g. with “Lock Laces”). Thus, in principle, any running shoe can also be equipped for triathlon use. Our tip: It is much more important to find the right shoe and retrofit it with a quick lacing system than to buy a special triathlon shoe, which then leads to injuries at worst, because it does not fit the running style and the leg/foot position.
