Fit ExpertAt — Road Runner Sports
Gait and running analysis: Watch customers walk/run and evaluate things like foot strike, pronation, and stride Foot Measurements: Use the Fit Finder to measure foot length, width, arch height, instep, and heel width Customer interviewing: Ask about mileage, activity level, training goals, and any aches/pains before the fitting Shoe prescription/recommendations: Use knowledge of cushioning, stability, support, and flexibility to recommend the appropriate shoes Insole fitting: Heat-mold custom insoles based on customer's foot shape and fitting needs Education: Explain concepts such as pronation and supination, foot strike, cushioning, stability, fit, and how different footwear can affect comfort and movement
From this experience, I hope to gain a better understanding of how proper footwear can help people function better. I also hope to learn more about how the feet are a foundation for the entire body and how that can be a main sight for many injuries involving the lower body. This will help me gain the knowledge of how I can treat patients in the future and make recommendations to keep them healthy.
