How Fitprint® Works Our shoe-fitting system involves asking you to both stand and walk across a pressure sensitive pad. The pad then transmits detailed information to a computer about your foot and where each foot bears the most pressure. This not only highlights where cushioning is required, but where any motion control/stability issues may need to be addressed. Fitprint® uses thousands of sensors to highlight where the pressure is being distributed in your feet whilst standing and as you walk, allowing you to see the mechanical and structural characteristics your foot electronically. By identifying these pressure points, our Fit Technicians have a better understanding of your feet and footwear requirements. It’s important however to note that Fitprint is not uses as a podiatry or diagnostic tool. Static Phase The Static phase of Fitprint® is where you simply stand on the pad - this gives our staff a stationary picture of your feet. It enables staff to look at the shape of the feet, how much pressure is exerted, as well as your balance. Dynamic Phase The Dynamic phase is a mobile phase where you walk over the pad. Here our Fit Technicians look at how the foot moves through the gait cycle and how the pressure is distributed during motion. The staff at The Athlete‘s Foot have been extensively trained to read the Fitprint® results. Coupled with their knowledge of the vast ranges of brands, footwear and their technologies, The Athlete‘s Foot Fit Technicians will match the shoe best suited to your foot type, fit requirements and activities.
