Shoe Fitting Advice

At The Good Run, we go beyond just selling shoes—we help you run better!  Meet the team instore to go through our fitting procedure to find the best shoe for you.

What Happens During a “Good Run” Fitting

Our fittings are relaxed, friendly and designed for all ages and abilities. Here’s what we do:

1. Fit profile

An initial chat about your Lifestyle, Running Experience and Your Goals. Bring in your old shoes, tell us about your aches and pains, chat about your goals - we want the full picture.

2. Foot Measurements

Both length and width — because width matters more than people realise.  We know Far North Queenslander enjoy being barefoot, which can lead to a flattening and widening of the foot.  We have a wide range of wider shoes to cater for this.

3. Observations of your gait (the way you run/walk)

Nothing intense — you’ll spend few minutes on the treadmill whilst we observe how your feet move naturally.

4. Try a Range of Shoes that suit YOU

From multiple brands with different support profiles and different purposes, we can try as many options as we need to find the right shoe for you. Try each shoe on and go for run on our treadmills.

5. Make Your Selection

You can be confident that you walk out with the right shoe for you and your needs.

Come and chat with our expert team. We’re here not just to fit you into a new shoe, but to make sure it’s truly right for your needs. From kids who need the right fit for running, to workers on their feet all day, to seasoned runners, we make sure every person gets the fit and comfort they need to get the most out of every walk and run.
