Wendi is currently on leave and is unavailable until further notice. If you need gait analysis or shoe fitting service, please call us at 9524730377 or email corey@gearwest.com.
While we at Gear West will make sure that any shoe you buy from us is the perfect style for you with a perfect fit, some of our customers want a little more input. For those with challenging injuries, constant aches and pains, muscle tightness, and those who think they could improve their performance with some biomechanical work, we offer a specialized Gait Analysis service. Our resident "shoe whisperer", Wendi Morin, performs these analyses, which cost $50.00 and take approximately 30 minutes.
This analysis includes the following evaluations and recommendations:
- Arch and foot evaluation
- Ankle, knee, hip, and back alignment evaluation
- Muscle weakness and imbalance check
- Pelvic rotation check
- Leg length discrepancy
- Arch support evaluation
- Suggested strengthening exercises
- Shoe model recommendation including a full explanation of reasoning behind shoe pick.
