The Fit Process
What Is Pronation—and Why Does It Matter?
Pronation refers to how your foot naturally rolls inward when you walk or run. It’s an essential part of how your body absorbs impact and transfers weight. However, not everyone pronates the same way—some people roll inward too much (over-pronation), while others roll too little (under-pronation or supination). These differences can lead to discomfort, inefficiencies, or even injury if you’re not wearing the right type of shoe.
At Dragonfly Running, we take the guesswork out of finding the right shoe. Through our free gait analysis process, we evaluate your movement to ensure you’re properly supported—whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out.
Our Fit Process: Expert Gait Analysis
Our team uses video gait analysis to assess your stride in real time. This bio-mechanical evaluation helps us identify any inefficiencies and match you with footwear that promotes proper form and reduces your risk of injury.
Here’s how it works:
We analyze your foot strike, alignment, and pronation type.
You’ll test a variety of shoes from different brands.
We’ll even film you in multiple options so you can see the difference yourself.
Seeing is believing—and our side-by-side video comparisons make it easy to understand why the right shoe matters.
Best of all? The entire process is completely free, and no appointment is needed.
Orthotics: Aetrex Nova Foot Scanner
For added support, we offer in-store access to the Aetrex Nova Foot Scanner, which creates a precise digital pressure map of your feet. This advanced technology helps us identify high-pressure zones and recommend custom orthotic inserts tailored to your needs.
