Local Running store, Road Runner Sports, Dr office, PT office??? Thinking that I may need to get an analysis done...When I got my last pair of running shoes at the LRS, they did watch me run but all I got was "well, looks pretty good so you could really get anything as long as it is comfortable." ?????? I tried to ask questions regarding my custom orthotics, needing a stability shoe vs neutral, etc...but again, got the same response. Should have asked someone else but was a bit irritated and just went with the neutral/cushioning Nike Air Peg...which I have been pretty happy with BUT, am really trying to figure out my leg problems and am trying to heal the Plantar Faciitis in my feet. SO, need to get another opinion. I don't want to drop a ton of money on this, but am sure it will help me out. Thanks so much!

I got mine done at Fleet Feet (a popular running shoe store) in Chicago. They put me on a treadmill with a video camera aimed at my feet and video-taped me running on the treadmill. Then went back and viewed the video in slow-motion to see how every foot strike was hitting the belt. Pretty cool, actually. And it didn't cost me anything...just a service that they provide to customers.

Local Running Store had the Mizuno trailer come in for a 5K and I was able to have them scan my feet and observe the gait. Put me back in the same shoes I've been wearing. Great shoes for me.

I got mine done by a Sports Medicine doctor; it was covered by my insurance after a stress fracture in my tibia.  She was able to identify muscle imbalances in my legs and gave me strengthening exercises to help fix that.
