[@hattie.waltermire]

That's so smart that the shoe store has a treadmill!

[@timhanby5662]

Hattie Waltermire Sports-Shoe specific stores when I’m from that’s pretty standard, they film your stride, foot placement, pressure points and angle too and can use these details to recommend and provide the best shoe for your running style. Pretty awesome as there’s no extra cost, just the rrp of the shoes.

[@Alexhastheruns]

It's for testing shoes and gait analysis. Bad shoe store = no treadmill.
