Although all shoes in our stores are of high quality, it is all about which shoe fits you best, both for running and walking. That is why we tailor each shoe specifically to your situation.
We achieve this by means of a comprehensive RunX running analysis. Your physical resilience is central here, with the essential question: how much can your body physically handle? Our recommendation focuses not only on your feet and legs, but also includes a thorough study of your entire body. In addition, we delve into your goals and personal story.

Perhaps your goal is less specific, such as improving your overall fitness or working on your health. These goals and your personal running experience play a crucial role in finding the right running shoes.
3. Body
We gather information about your body by starting with a foot scan of your uncovered feet. This way we can precisely analyze the pressure points and the pressure distribution under your feet.

•B) You body weight and running style are crucial when assessing the load on the running shoes. At an average speed, the impact load can be two to three times your body weight. A proper balance between body weight and cushioning in the shoe is essential, as both insufficient and excessive cushioning can cause problems. We also take into account your running pace, personal preference and the type of surface you usually run on.
• C) Je injury history plays a role in our recommendations. We consider any injuries or abnormalities that may affect the load capacity.
• D) We assess the position of your lower legs, including ankle joint, knees and the angle between hip, knee and ankle (Q-angle).
• E) Je total body posture is carefully observed. We pay attention to your posture while running on our indoor test tracks or treadmill.
• F) Your running technique is of great importance. Good technique improves the resilience while running. In our RunX-running stores we also assess your running technique and give simple tips for improvement.
