5-Step Fit Process

At 1st Place Sports, every guest receives a fully personalized fitting experience. Whether you are new to running, love to walk, race marathons, need something comfortable for work, or want relief from a nagging injury, we are here to help you reach your goals.

Our 5-Step Fit Process

  • Interview
    We start by learning about your goals, running or walking history, current shoes, and any aches or injuries so we understand what you need.
  • Foot Analysis
    Our passionate, knowledgeable staff use a few simple tests to assess your foot shape, size, arch, and mobility.
  • Shoe Selection
    Based on your needs and foot analysis, we determine which shoe category will give you the best support and comfort.
  • Shoe Fitting
    We bring out several options from different brands designed for your foot type. You try them on, compare how they feel, and make the final choice based on comfort.
  • Verification
    You take your shoes for a short test walk or run so we can confirm they perform well and feel right before you head out the door.

We are more than just a shoe store. Our staff can also offer guidance on nutrition, apparel, sports bras, accessories, and anything else related to running and walking.
