Get Fit by a Pro

The developers of Aravon footwear have entrusted the fitting of Aravon shoes largely to Procare fit specialists. These experts understand the complexities of the human foot and the nuances of Comfort Engineering by New Balance. Dealers with the Procare designation will take a true measure of your feet and footwear needs. Their assessment includes:

1. Observation of gait, posture and body type for clues as to their effects on footwear and feet.

2. Check wear on current footwear for indications of special considerations such as an uneven walk, bunions or calluses.

3. Interview to discover the types of physical activities likely undertaken.

4. Measure each foot each visit.

  • Heel to toe
  • Heel to ball of foot
  • Width at the widest part
  • Observe shape of the arch

5. Check fit

  • Ball to toe check, weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing
  • Heel to outer ball of foot
  • Heel snugness
  • Topline at ankle bones
  • Instep opening
  • Snug fit of arch
  • Tread function on smooth, flat surface

 

If you are under professional care for foot problems, you will be happy to know that doctors refer patients like you to Procare specialists for their skills in the art of fitting and their sensitivity to their special needs.
