Wanna take a look at my incredibly flat feet? Ta~da!
So my feet are a little below average in length, a little above average in width, and super duper flat!
My heel angles are pretty severe too, with the average being +/- 3 degrees and mine are close to +/- 6 degrees.
And my gait analysis is also surprising. I had severely sprained my right ankle a few years ago and it's never healed properly. So I always assumed that my right gait cycle must be atrocious. Turns out, I might be over compensating with my left instead. The analysis is that I have neutral pronation on my right and overpronation on my left.
Both my stride and frequency are average although I always suspected my stride to be a bit short. I guess all the stretching and raising of the knees helped a bit.
Overall, Asic's Foot ID analysis was pretty informative and gave me useful data that I can focus on when I'm reading Runner's World or other related articles. Of course, this guilt tripped me into buying a new pair of running shoes and some new insoles, but I would still highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know their body better.
For my three readers, who are all luckily on the east coast, there is an Asics store with Foot ID in New York on 42nd St and 6th Ave. My analysis had a fee of about $10 Taiwan and I'd recommend calling the store ahead of time to check availability (212) 354-1908).
I've also heard of other running specialty stores/podiatrists who examine other aspects of your running such as upper body posture, spine position, head/neck movement, etc. If anyone has more info, let me know!
