At Mill City Running we deliver the most comprehensive free gait analysis in the Twin Cities.

Step One: Gather the facts:

-Personal history of running.
-Past or present injuries we should be aware of.
-Past shoes that worked or didn’t work (bringing in old shoes is always helpful).
-Your short term and long term running goals.

Step Two:  3D Foot Scan

-We’ve partnered with Aetrex to provide the most advanced 3D scanning technology available, to our customers. The Aetrex Albert scanner creates a 3D model of your feet, a pressure map, and precise measurements down to 1/10 of a millimeter, ensuring the correct fit.

Step Three:  Video Analysis

-We utilize video software to record, compare and analyze your individual running motion and stride.  This assists in making an informed decision and validating your shoe choice.

Step Four:  Fitting Recommendation

-We will bring out various brands in the recommended category of shoes.


-Our team will help you work through the options and talk about what makes each shoe different so you can make an informed decision.


-We'll encourage you to try running in your future running shoes- either outside on the sidewalk, on our treadmill, or just up and down the floor. We’ll be guiding you to choose the shoes that feel most comfortable and natural to you.
