Our 5-Step Fit Process

At Peak, we know the right shoes make all the difference. That’s why we take the time to understand you—your history, your goals, and how you move. Here’s how our personalized fit process works:

Step 1: We Start with You

Your journey begins with a conversation. We’ll ask about:

• Any current or past injuries (foot, knee, or otherwise)

• Foot pain in the arch, heel, or forefoot

• Issues like blisters or black toenails

• Whether you wear orthotics or inserts

• Your training goals—general fitness, 5K, 10K, marathon, or beyond

• The surfaces you typically run or train on

• Your average weekly mileage

This helps us build a complete picture of your needs before we even look at shoes.

Step 2: Precise Measurement

Next, we take detailed measurements of your feet—both seated (unweighted) and standing (weighted). We also measure key point-to-point dimensions to understand how your feet change under pressure.

STEP 3: Gait Analysis

We’ll observe you walking or running a short distance on the treadmill. This lets us see your natural movement patterns and biomechanics.

We look closely at:

1. Body posture

2. Body symmetry

3. Each phase of your stride—from heel strike to toe-off

Step 4: Fitting and Recommendations

Based on what we’ve learned, we’ll bring out shoes that match your needs. Together, we’ll:

• Check the fit carefully

• Watch how you move in each pair

• Discuss the options and our recommendations

• Answer any questions you may have

Step 5: Comfort is Key

Finally, it’s all about how you feel. The right shoe should feel natural, supportive, and ready for your miles ahead. When it feels right—you’re ready to go!
