Gait analysis is a way to understand how you run — how your feet contact the ground, how you load each step, and how your movement patterns change across different shoes — so you can make smarter choices about footwear, comfort, and training. ARIONHUB captures dozens of running metrics and turns them into an easy-to-understand report.

We fit ARION’s smart insoles and pods, capture a short run, then review your pressure maps + key metrics together. ARIONHUB also supports shoe comparison, so you can test more than one option and “see” which performs best for you across chosen metrics. 

Yes — and that can be useful. It creates a baseline, then we can compare against new models to see what changes (pressure distribution, footstrike behaviour, loading, etc.). 

Bring the running shoes you currently run in, plus the socks you normally train in. If you use orthotics/insoles, bring those too so we can factor them into recommendations.

No. The goal is to capture your natural running. We’ll choose a comfortable, steady pace that you can maintain safely and consistently.

Yes. ARIONHUB generates a digital report (often described as a “digital flyer”) so you can review your key metrics and comparisons after your visit.

Yes. It’s designed to make metrics understandable and actionable, including for runners who are newer and want more confidence in shoe choice and technique basics.

Traditional video gait analysis is mainly visual (what we can see from the outside). ARIONHUB adds in-shoe pressure and movement data—so you’re not just looking at motion, you’re measuring what happens inside the shoe as your foot loads, rolls, and pushes off.

The session records “dozens of metrics” about running technique and performance, including footstrike, contact time, flight time, cadence, and more, alongside a pressure map and gait line that visualise how your foot loads and rolls through each step.  

We’ll use your results to narrow down the right options, then run a quick comparison across a couple of models so you can see the differences clearly—before you decide. ARIONHUB is built to support that shoe comparison journey.

Yes — that’s a core purpose of ARIONHUB in-store: help you test shoes and match the best option to your individual running identity, rather than guessing from a generic “pronation type.”

It is a digital representation of your unique running technique—including where you initially load the foot at contact and how pressure moves through the foot during the stride. 

A foot pressure map shows where pressure is lowest to highest across different parts of your foot during running (rearfoot, midfoot, forefoot; medial vs lateral areas). It helps explain how you load and push off.

The gait line (sometimes described as the centre-of-pressure path) visualises how your foot “rolls” from initial contact through mid-stance to toe-off. 

Yes. ARIONHUB classifies footstrike patterns (for example rearfoot, midfoot, forefoot) using the pressure sensors in the insole and shows where contact begins and how it progresses.

Contact time is the time your foot stays in contact with the ground during each step (from initial contact to toe-off). ARIONHUB measures this and includes it in your report.

Flight time is the time neither foot is in contact with the ground between steps (toe-off of one foot to contact of the other). ARIONHUB measures this as part of your running metrics.

Cadence is your step rate (steps per minute). ARIONHUB calculates cadence based on step count over time.

ARIONHUB includes a metric referred to as (predicted) bioload, used to help interpret loading demands during running and compare how different shoes influence your run.
