where to: get running shoes - running analysis

interleukin · Post by **interleukin** » Mon Dec 28, 2009 1:52 pm

Hi all,

have been doing running for a while, but my running shoes now need to be replaced. I would like to get proper shoes, not just something from Prisma, etc. I am not after spending tons of money on the shoes, but I run often enough to have to get good shoes. I also would like to get a "running analysis" done, where they take a look at how you run, to get you the right kind of shoes. Does anyone know where in Helsinki (or within the H-E-V region) I could go get this "running analysis" done?
Also, if anyone has opinions about similar places, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
interleukin

They might also do it in the intersport on Mikonkatu

And now is the time to buy. My husband runs nearly every day, has run for 40 years, and has never saved on shoes, not even we had very little money. Yesterday he bought a new pair with 70 % discount from the original (very high) price. Now the price was the normal price for standard shoes.

Stockmann do the analysis. Pre christmas i got a deal on some runners from there too, suprisingly they were 20€ cheaper than all the other shops in town.
Intersport opp. stockmann is having a closing down sale (well it's been going for about 3 weeks now) and you'll get a deal there too, ChubbyP got some Asics and saved a about 70€ i think.
There's a proper running shop on the top floor of Kamppi if you're serious but the guy who served me at Stockmann's was a half/full marathon runner so gave me good advice.
