Stride Shoe Finder

Finding the right running shoe shouldn't require a degree in biomechanics. STRIDE asks you 10 quick questions about how you run — your experience, terrain, goals, foot type, and budget — and matches you with the 3 best shoes for your specific needs. It is a great way to save lots of time of research and get you the information you need in minutes instead of endless browsing and indecision. This app will match you with the running shoes that meets your unique needs.

HOW IT WORKS
Answer 10 simple questions about your running profile. STRIDE's recommendation engine analyzes your answers across 8 dimensions — pronation, arch type, body weight, distance, terrain, goals, injury history, and budget — to find shoes that actually fit your needs.
You'll get 3 personalized shoe recommendations, each with:
→ Detailed performance ratings (cushion, stability, speed, durability)
→ Key specs (heel drop, weight)
→ A plain-English explanation of why this shoe fits you
→ Who the shoe is best for
