THE FUSION FIT PROCESS

1. Shoe & Foot Review

If you plan to visit Fusion Footwear, please bring the shoes you currently run or exercise in, the socks you would typically wear and any insoles or orthotics you are wearing in your shoes. Your old shoes can tell a story. The fit, wear pattern, and midsole compression can give us valuable information that can help determine what features worked for you or possibly caused problems. You will share with your Fusion Fit Specialist your fitness goals and needs, along with any aches and pain. Our staff will ask questions about your current weekly mileage, long-term training goals, typical running/walking surface, and history of injury or foot problems.

2. Walk This Way

Our Fusion Fit Specialist will ask you to walk and perform any variety of simple movements to determine a few key pieces of your body mechanics.

3. Foot Scan

To determine your foot type, our staff will examine your foot shape, width, arch height and other important metrics on our state-of-the-art foot scanner. We perform an analysis in order to accurately recommend the proper footwear category for your degree of pronation and specific usage. Matching the proper cushion or support to an individual foot is the most effective way to ensure comfort and reduce the risk of injury.

4. Personalized Recommendations

Once we have determined the characteristics of your feet, we will recommend a footwear category. For day-to-day training, the categories include neutral or stability. Matching your foot type to an appropriate category is extremely important. Shoes that are too stable can cause as many problems as shoes that are not stable enough. We will explain how the features in the footwear we present will benefit your foot type. Some brands vary in size to others; we will make sure you try options that make sense based on the criteria we learned in the shoe and foot review. We will recommend a variety of shoes from several manufacturers that will be appropriate for the characteristics of your feet. It's important to try on several models. Every manufacturer builds footwear in every category to fit their interpretation of the average foot. By comparing several models from various brands, you will find the shoes that best fit the characteristics of your feet.

5. Test Your Shoes

Finally, we let you test the shoes outside on the sidewalk or just a trip around the inside of our store. Testing out shoes can help you determine if a shoe has good cushion, support and is properly sized. Your shoes should feel like an extension of your foot.

6. Complete Your Fit

After we have determined the appropriate shoe, we will then determine if you are a candidate for a custom insert to assist with any arch issues that you may have. Inserts are not for everyone, and your Fusion Fit specialist will discuss pros/cons of adding this into your shoe. Additionally, we discuss the importance of non-cotton socks, lacing techniques and even nutrition to complete your experience.
