GET FACTORY FIT
Find the Perfect Ride for Every Stride
A detailed shoe fitting starts with understanding that no two people—and no two feet—are exactly alike. Your gait is unique, and even your left and right foot may differ in size, shape, or arch type. Limb alignment, movement patterns, and how your body absorbs impact all play a major role in determining the right footwear. That’s why our experts take the time to consult with you, factoring in your activity, intensity, any injury history, and weekly mileage to recommend a shoe that truly works with your body, not against it.
Did you know that nearly 80% of people are wearing the wrong shoe? An improper size, style, or category can increase your risk of injury—or worsen one you already have. At Sneaker Factory Running Centers, we believe the right shoe is essential to maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle. Our Factory Fit process was designed to help ensure you’re in the 20% wearing the proper shoe, so you can run comfortably, confidently, and injury-free.

PERSONAL PROFILE
We will take a detailed personal history and will assess your overall needs. This includes identifying: the purpose for your shoes, past injuries, goals, and activity, volume/intensity.

GAIT ANAYLISIS
We begin by measuring your foot by hand to ensure you are in a shoe of the proper size and width. Next, we use foot disc scan to assess your foot/arch shape, arch depth and height, and pressure distribution on the bottom of your foot. Your arch scan will be used to determine your personal footwear's cushion and stability level, as well as determine which insole type will be best suited for your foot.

We stock 60+ different footwear models and will work together with you to select the shoe that is right for you. Once you try them on, we will check the fit and width to ensure it's the optimal choice for you.

TEST DRIVE & FEEDBACK
We encourage our customers to take the selected shoes for a test drive. This can be done in the store, on the treadmill, or outside on the sidewalk (if weather permits). We welcome your feedback. Do you prefer the softer or firmer underfoot feel? Do the shoes feel too heavy or flexible?

TRIAL PERIOD
We allow all purchases to be tested at home for a period of 14 days. Run in them, take them to the gym, or even do an interval session at the track. Should you have any issues, give us a call or stop in and we will exchange them or provide a store credit to you - no questions asked. We only ask that you keep the box, original packaging and the receipt.
