Why Run-It

Built from real runs

Runners waste €200+ on shoes that don’t feel right. A quiz or a minute on a store treadmill can’t see how you really run. Run-It sees every run you do.

Built on 10 000+ real runs and runner feedback: our model learned which shoes suit which running style. Now it reads your runs and points you to the pairs that fit.

Most Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about your shoes, your watch and our pricing.

How can I get running shoe recommendations from my Garmin data?

Run-It analyzes compatible Garmin runs to recommend road running shoes for daily training, tempo sessions, and race day. Connect Garmin or upload an original FIT file with supported running dynamics. Run-It uses the available movement signals and pace context to build your shortlist; trying shoes still matters for fit and comfort. Get a free Run-It shoe analysis.

Why use Run-It before buying running shoes?

Run-It reads your own runs and gives you a shortlist before you spend money. Instead of guessing from reviews, hype, or a wall of similar models, you start with shoes that match how you actually run. After you buy, it shows whether the new pair really works for you.

Does Run-It help with running shoe sizing?

Yes. Record a pair you already own and rate how it fits, and Run-It uses that pair to suggest your size in other brands. It converts the size through the official size chart of each brand, for 14 brands including Nike, adidas, ASICS, Brooks, HOKA and On, and adjusts if that pair feels small or roomy. Width is handled separately, so models that are not made in your width drop off your shortlist. See how Run-It works out your size.

What happens after I sync my running data?

Run-It reads your runs and analyzes running dynamics like cadence, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, stride length, and pace. You get daily, tempo, and race shoe matches, plus a read on your rotation: the best shoe you own, the right pair for today's run, the gaps in your rotation, and how each pair holds up.

Is Run-It better than an in-store gait analysis?

Run-It's advantage is evidence from your own outdoor runs, across different paces and stages of fatigue. A brief in-store check samples one appointment; Run-It analyzes movement recorded during your actual training and uses Loading Pattern Index to help connect that running pattern to shoe selection. Compare Run-It with in-store gait analysis.

Is my watch compatible?

You can connect Garmin, Stryd, Apple Watch or Strava. Shoe matching works best with a Garmin watch that records Running Dynamics, such as ground contact time (GCT) and stride length, or a Stryd pod. Check a recent run in the Garmin Connect app; if GCT and stride length show up, your Garmin data gets the full analysis.

Can I use Run-It for barefoot or trail shoes?

No. Run-It is built for road running shoes. It is not for barefoot or minimalist shoes, and it is not for trail shoes. Those categories depend on factors Run-It does not currently model, such as ground feel, protection, outsole grip, terrain, mud, rocks, and technical trail stability.

Why is Run-It Basic plan free?

Good shoe advice should be available to every runner, not locked behind an expensive appointment. The data that shows how you run is already on your watch. The free plan turns it into your top shoe matches for every run type, your rotation gaps, and a check of your 2 most-run shoes.

How accurate are Run-It shoe recommendations?

Run-It shoe recommendations are most reliable when they start with a recent, steady run on relatively flat terrain, because that produces a clearer movement signal. They are a data-backed shortlist, not a guaranteed perfect choice. Fit guidance uses the relevant official brand sizing chart to narrow the size, but the comfort and fit of a running shoe are multi-variable and can only be confirmed through real runs.

How is Run-It different from other running shoe analyses?

Run-It is a data-driven shoe finder, rather than a simple quiz. Many shoe analyses start with pronation or a short landing-angle snapshot. Run-It does not use pronation as its decision rule. Instead, it uses the Loading Pattern Index (LPI), a composite metric built from Garmin running dynamics or Stryd data from real runs. LPI relates your impact pattern to an estimate of shoe compliance, meaning how firm or yielding a shoe is under load. Run-It uses that relationship to shortlist shoes with a level of compliance that better matches how you load the ground. That creates a more useful shoe shortlist than a single pronation-based label. Read how LPI works.

Your heel drop doesn't matter. Changing it does.
