THE RUNRIGHT 3D APP
A tablet is used to control RUNRIGHT. Once the customer completes their shoe trial, their contact details and analysis data are securely sent to an Azure cloud database.

EVIDENCE BASED RUNNING SHOE SCORING
In the App
Overall Score
All scores (except Structural Integrity) are combined to provide an overall percentage. This is not the ‘go-to’ score but an instant aid to the retailer when a customer is trialling several shoes.
Shoe Performance
RunRight measures your performance changes when you change from shoe to shoe. Changes in shoe design, shape, material stiffness and resilience affect your performance. The scoring is filtered for speed and age.
Joint Protection
Measures the load placed on your joints; the higher the score, the less your joints are predisposed. RunRight measures key parameters linked to loading like overstride, verticle oscillation, cadence, duty factor, step-separation and knee stability. Shoe choice affects these parameters, and RunRight highlights the differences and, therefore, shoe choice.
Cushioning Efficiency
Cushioning in running shoes has historically referred to the level of shock absorption in the midsole. But with the advent of ER, the sole design (shape) changed everything. RunRight identifies, through measuring several parameters, the ideal amount and profile for your individual running form.
Energy Return
We calculate and score the resulting return energy from you and your shoe during the propulsive phase.
Different shoe designs and geometry will change how you run and, as a result, how you load the shoe, your tendons and muscles. Finding a shoe that is in harmony with your body’s ability to store and return energy is essential.
Structural Integrity
RunRight measures how much the shoe distorts on 3 planes. The most flexible shoe and foot will register 5 Soft, whilst the most rigid shoe and foot measures 5 Firm. These results are not included in the shoe’s overall score but help the retailer understand what the customers prefer about firmness.
RUNRIGHT-3D ANALYSIS PROTOCOLS
SNAP
The name says it all. This is our no-nonsense protocol for busy periods when sales matter. Simply ask the customer to run in a pair of shoes; this will set the customer’s personal benchmark. Evaluate the score and decide on another shoe (If necessary). Once the shoe has been chosen, all data is deleted.
PRO
Similar to Snap, benchmarking the customers’ performance; however, the customer’s details are recorded, as is the shoe, with the data in the cloud. This data is drawn down when the customer returns. The customer will receive, via email, a summary of their purchase and a report on how to improve their performance in that particular shoe.
ELITE
Similar to Pro, the benchmark scoring system is replaced with Elite Data. This is for performance-orientated customers who want to see how their scores compare to an elite athlete. It allows retailers to dial in a race and train shoes for their customers.
