the FIT PROCESS

Walk in and be greeted. Introductions are made and you’re invited to be seated. Footwear specialists prompt questions. For example - Have you been fit for a pair of shoes before? Have you had your feet measured lately? What size do you usually wear? What type of activities are you doing? How will you be using the shoes - running, walking, rucking, working, or for everyday wear? Are there any injuries to consider? Do you train by distance or time?

Let us watch you walk. Let us watch you run. We see your foot shape, your arch height and the thickness of your instep. We note to what degree your feet flex inward, outward or down the center line. We note how quickly your arches flex. We take notice your leg shape and the ways your knees and ankles work together. Again, we prompt conversation. Are there brands you’d like to try? You share your knowledge and put your trust in our experience.

We pull three to four styles, then unbox the shoes one by one and place them on your feet. Lace them for you, so the shoes fit properly, consistently. You walk, run, lunge or dance. You zone in and consider more prompts. How do you like the cushioning? Too soft or too firm? Too much or too little? Do you feel the support? Does the support feel as if it’s positioned in the right place?

Our fit specialists walk you through this process because the comfort and love of specific footwear features are so subjective. There are hundreds of shoes in our store. We want to help guide you to the most comfortable and best performing style - for you. There is no “perfect” shoe. There is no “best.” They’re all unique and magical in their own way. That’s why you choose run specialty - to experience the value of attention and quality footwear, and why we will always be here. For the love of shoes. For the love of comfort and support, achieved through sharing our experience and knowledge. And then there’s even more our associates will offer you - insight about the local running, triathlete and fitness communities and how to stay connected - all so that when you walk out of the store, you’re ready for your next adventure.

Shop online; we know you may. But shop here first. Find out what style and features you love. Shop local. Support local specialty stores. Then for your next pair, come back or shop local-online - OUR ONLINE STORE!

We thank you for visiting us, trusting us and most of all for helping to KEEP KATY RUNNING!
