Fleet Feet Sports Louisville, KY is a running, walking and fitness specialty store in the historic Highlands that provides information, opportunity and inspiration. Our supportive and knowledgeable personnel do a great job for runners, walkers, triathletes, fitness enthusiasts and anyone with medical referrals.

Fleet Feet Sports Louisville has a standard process for selecting and fitting new running shoes, and you, the customer, have an active role in that process.

First, we will ask you about:

• The frequency and distance of your running/walking
• The surfaces you train on
• Your history of injuries

We also look at the shape of your foot, including:

• Height of the arch
• Width at the forefoot, mid-foot and heel
• The presence of bunions, Morton’s toe or other factors that would affect the fit of your shoes

We then determine your running characteristics by examining the wear patterns on your old shoes. We then use video gait analysis to view your running or walking style while on our treadmill. By analyzing the tape in slow-motion, we can determine:

• If you are a heel striker or forefoot striker
• If you over-pronate, under-pronate, or have a neutral foot strike

Finally, in the most crucial step, we help you compare two or three pairs of shoes. After all, just because several shoes meet your requirements does not mean each will feel the same on your foot. That is why everyone at Fleet Feet Sports, Louisville takes the extra time to ensure that the shoes you choose will be the best shoes for you.
