Gait analysis is a process that involves the assessment of an individual's walking or running pattern to identify biomechanical irregularities and inefficiencies in their movement.

Gait analysis typically involves data collection through video recordings, pressure measurements, and sometimes 3D motion analysis. Trained professionals analyze this data to evaluate a person's running mechanics.

Gait analysis can help you identify and address biomechanical issues in your running form, which can lead to injury prevention, improved performance, and better overall running experience.

Gait analysis can identify issues like overpronation, underpronation, poor posture, inefficient stride, and other irregularities in your running form.

By optimizing your running form through gait analysis, you can enhance your running efficiency, reduce energy wastage, and potentially run faster and longer with less effort.

Gait analysis is beneficial for runners of all levels, from beginners to elite athletes. It can help prevent injuries and improve performance, making it valuable for anyone serious about running.

Gait analysis is free with purchase of footwear. If you are not looking to make a purchase of footwear on the day a redeemable charge of €30 is applied. This charge can be
redeemed against full priced footwear within 28 days of your visit with proof of your visit provided by a valid receipt of your gait analysis charge. 

Typically you need to put aside 30-40 minutes for a thorough analysis and also allowing time to try on different footwear options.

Our belief is that, although there isn't a single universal solution, there's a suitable shoe available for every individual. In rare situations, runners might consider using personalized orthotics. However, we strongly recommend considering this as a final option and not the first choice.

At Radical Runner all our team are highly knowledgeable in fitting custom-made orthotics prescribed by various practitioners. Factors like orthotic depth, width, and a thorough understanding of the underlying reasons for needing
orthotics play a crucial role in selecting the right shoe to enhance one's biomechanics.

Every person is unique, and as a result, there's no one-size-fits-all shoe. People vary in terms of their fitness levels, weight, biomechanical characteristics, degree of pronation, and numerous other variables. These differences make the process of finding the perfect running shoe far more intricate than some might think. Best thing to do is drop into the store for an assessment and fitting.
