Hi all

First post here. ;)

I'm visiting Melbourne early March and will be stationed in Epping. I'm looking for a reputable running store nearby which can do gait analysis. Preferably a shop staffed by, or has access to, podiatrists.

I can travel maybe as far as Essendon/Moonee Ponds, but time restrictions prevent me travelling into the city or inner-eastern suburbs.

Any suggestions?

Hi Steven

I'm in Mill Park & haven't come a cross a good running shop yet. I go to Active Feet in Heathmont to get fitted for my running shoes. It's a long way away, but worth the effort for the Km's you have to run in them.

Roger.

Cheers Roger - I figured that might be the case. I might wait till next time we're staying in the city and have more time available.

Try Leo RUSSELL in Gilbert Rd, Preston. About the best prices for Asics you'll find anywhere in Melb. It's not a running store, though.......it's stationary!
