Get correct running trainers near Westerham
Wearing the correct type of running trainers in Westerham or Sevenoaks will help you reach your sporting goals by maximising your performance. The right running trainers will improve comfort, prolong the lifespan of your footwear, and reduce the risk of injury. There are different trainers for different sports. Running trainers have very cushioned soles for shock absorption and help to improve posture and running efficiency. There are both normal running trainers and off-road running trainers. Off-road running trainers have similar features to running trainers but with different soles and tread patterns to cope with varying terrain.
It is important that your trainers fit your foot exactly; it should be snug around the heel, mid-foot, and ankle. The space around the toe needs to be slightly more spacious as your feet expand with exercise.
Video Gait Analysis in Sevenoaks
Have you heard of video gait analysis? Finding the right running shoes can make a huge difference to your running performance, whatever your level. Here at Running Hub, we offer video gait analysis to our customers in Sevenoaks, who are looking to boost their running performance. If you do not wish to come into our running shop, or we are closed, we also offer a virtual gait analysis service. This gait testing service allows us to discover your natural biometrics, so you can run more efficiently and your feet receive the comfort and support they need. This will also reduce the chance of being injured.
As part of our running shoe fittings, we ask you to send us a short video of yourself, along with some other details – we will give you clear instructions, so you know exactly what we need. We then overlay the video you send us over our gait analysis software. This advanced software is used in many sports and allows us to understand the biomechanics of the way you move and what happens during each gait cycle. Issues such as over pronation is when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inwards, transferring weight to the inner edge instead of the ball of the feet. This can cause injuries such as shin splints, planta fasciitis and heel spurs.
We are an independent running shop and we will always suggest a range of shoes from different manufacturers to suit your running type and foot strike.

Biomechanical TN13 video gait analysis
Here at Running Hub, video gait analysis enables us to study your movements as you run. We video you on the treadmill in our shop then use high-speed video capture and the latest Contemplas Templo gait analysis software, to study your unique gait. Every runner has a unique body and stride. Through understanding yours, we can help you make the right choice of running shoes.
Runners tend to fall into three categories:
- Pronation: This is where oy have low arches to flat feet and shoes can be used to stop your feet rolling inwards.
- Neutral: This is the standard running gait where your foot remains neutral.
- Supination: This is when the runner has a high arch and tendency to roll the foot inwards.
Gait analysis allows us to check the degree of pronation or supination to help reduce the risk of injury and find a fully supportive pair of shoes.
