What is our Fit Finder Process?
The Fit Finder Process is our in-store shoe fitting experience for Kansas City runners, walkers, healthcare workers, teachers, and anyone who spends long days on their feet.
If you are looking for expert shoe fitting in Kansas City, The Running Well Store can help. Our Fit Gurus talk through your goals, review your current shoes, watch how you walk or run, and compare options until the fit, cushioning, and support feel right.
Visit us at Barry Road, Lee's Summit, or Mission, or schedule a fitting if you want a planned time with a Fit Guru.
How Our Shoe Fitting Process Works
You will be greeted by a Fit Guru when you enter the store for your shoe fitting. We start by learning about your activity level, workday, goals, current shoes, and any pain points or fit issues.
To begin your running or walking shoe fitting, we may have you start in stocking feet and walk or run on the treadmill for about 20 to 30 seconds. This helps us look at how you land, where your foot strikes, and how your ankles and knees move.
After recording your movement, we review the video with you frame by frame. That gait analysis helps us narrow the fit, support level, and shoe category that may work best for your stride, goals, and comfort needs.
Next, we bring out shoes to compare. Comfort is key, but we also look at size, width, cushioning, stability, and how each shoe feels when you move. We can help with running shoes, walking shoes, work shoes, wide shoes, and supportive footwear for long days on your feet.

The Run Well Guarantee gives you 30 days to run, walk, and work in your new shoes. If they are not the right match, bring them back for an exchange or store credit.
