The method
Shoe choice isn't just about preference — it's biomechanics. Your arch height, pronation pattern, foot strike, and cadence all interact with a shoe's geometry: the stack height, heel-to-toe drop, midsole density, and lateral support.
We built a matching formula that weights each factor based on evidence from sports podiatry and run-specialty fitting practice. It accounts for injury history, adjusts for runner weight, and respects your surface and budget constraints.
The result: three shoes that actually make sense for your body and your running — not just what's popular on Instagram.
