Gait Analysis at Tripp Sport: How It Works

Video analysis and biomechanics to help you choose your running, trail running or walking shoes.

Why book an appointment at Tripp Sport? To find the right shoes for your feet, it is essential to understand how your body behaves, what your gait is like and why certain pains may have appeared. After observing your gait in your usual shoes, we analyse your natural gait to determine your movement preferences and adapt the shoe choice as closely as possible, particularly its drop. It is also important to know what type(s) of terrain you intend to run on with your new shoes. After measuring your foot impression and taking its measurements, we then offer you several models that you can test on the treadmill to identify the one that best matches your gait.

We welcome you in-store and take the time to understand your activity, your goals and your sensations when running. The analysis always begins with a personal, individual discussion. We talk about your experience, any pain, your running surfaces and your habits, so that the analysis can be guided precisely.

Your old shoes reveal information about your gait: wear, pressure areas, stability and movement axis. They provide us with essential clues before the video analysis.

We measure the length, width, volume and shape of your foot to determine the ideal shoe structure for your morphology.

We observe your standing posture, pressure points and natural alignment to understand how your body positions itself before you even start running.

You run for a few seconds on a treadmill to reproduce your usual gait in a controlled and stable environment.

We film your gait from several angles to analyse your foot strike, stability, cadence and movement axis precisely.

We study your movements, pressure points and alignment to understand the forces involved and identify the specific needs of your gait.

Using the data collected, we select a range of shoes suited to your gait, morphology and activity.

You test several models to feel the differences in cushioning, drop, stability and responsiveness, in order to find the best sensation and the model that suits you mechanically.

Together, we confirm the shoe that best matches your gait, comfort and goals, so you can run for longer and with greater peace of mind.

Awareness and advice: Our core business

We have chosen to build a strong team at Tripp Sport! We have completed several triathlons, notably over the Ironman distance, 27 marathons and countless trail races in France and Europe over ultra-trail distances. We have made many mistakes, and those mistakes are precisely what made us stronger. That is why we want to share all the advice you need to make progress with confidence.

Good practice:

Without a purchase, appointments will be charged at 15 euros, and/or depending on the service, and are free with the purchase of a pair of running shoes. If you do not attend your appointment without notifying us, you will be charged 3 euros for the appointment.

"No technical criterion — drop, stack, cushioning, weight or stability — can on its own determine the shoe suited to a runner. "

At Tripp Sport, this information is considered alongside your activity, your sensations and the observations made during the gait analysis.
