The Blind Fit Test at BDRC

The most important thing about choosing a running
shoe is finding the right fit and feel for your training
goals -
not the brand, color, style, or even the price. At
BDRC, we can help fool your brain, eyes, and wallet
with our Blind Fit Test!
First, we will use our Video Gait Analysis to determine
whether you are a neutral runner or an overpronator.
Then our staff will select five to ten suitable pairs of
shoes for you to test wearing our special no-see-um
glasses! You will grade each shoe based on fit, feel,
and ride, and let your feet do the choosing.
To thank you for participating in the Blind Fit Test, you will receive a free pair of socks with your shoe purchase. If you conduct the test in our original Big Dog Blind Fit glasses, you will also receive a Big Dog shirt for your good humor! With your permission, your Blind Fit experience will be documented and photographed for other Big Dogs' reference and entertainment.
The Blind Fit process takes 30 to 60 minutes and appointments are preferred, but feel free to walk in for the experience as well. Walk-ins may take a little longer, as we will have to serve less adventurous souls at the same time.
