John Dewey, owner of Off 'n Running, has been performing gait analyses for over 10 years both in the clinical setting and at Off'n Running. A gait cycle can best be described as the events that occur from the initial contact of one foot to the next successive contact of the same foot with the running surface.

The Process

The OFF 'N RUNNING staff are equipped to analyze your gait using their extensive experience, onsite treadmills and video analysis. Your gait cycle, foot type, training surface, and training program will all impact the selection of the right shoe for you.

We encourage every customer at Off'n Running to go through our systematic shoe fitting process that includes a free gait analysis from one of our highly trained staff members.  No appointment required, we just ask that you come at least 15 minutes before closing to allow adequate time for a full analysis.

Let the experts get you OFF 'N RUNNING!

In the future, John will eventually perform more advanced gait analyses using physical therapy screening/evaluation tools and video software analyses.  John also plans on collaborating with Dr. Daryl Lawson from Elon University as well as other local sports medicine and biomechanical specialists in the area for more advanced gait analyses.
