I haven't done it yet, but there are 2 running stores in Utah county that do gait analysis & its free.</p> http://www.starling-fitness.com/archives/2006/11/16/shoe-reviews-why-i-dont-do-them/#comment-55762 Cheri Poulin Fri, 17 Nov 2006 12:59:46 +0000 http://www.starling-fitness.com/?p=976#comment-55762 <p>If you have the chance, there are a number of retail outlets that offer running/walking analysis. You run on a treadmill in the store while they film your feet, then they watch the footage, looking for pronation, heel striking, etc. With that info, they recommend shoes, and then you try them out on the treadmill while they film you again. I did this in New York City (I can't remember the name of the store!) and it was great -- I ended up with a pair of sneakers that I really like. Granted, it's only a short run with the new shoes, but the staff seemed knowledgable and helpful and didn't necessarily push the most expensive pair of sneakers.</p>
