Welcome to Shoe Science
If you need exercise footwear - particularly if you have any issues with injury prevention or fit - then Shoe Science is for you. Owned and managed by medical professionals, our four stores across Auckland have won more awards over the last 15 years than any other shop.

Correctly selected and fitted shoes are hugely important for healthy growing feet, which is why we're offering this special fitness subsidy of $20 off all footwear to all children and College, University and Technical Institute students. For more information click here...
Our highly trained staff won't blind you with science or try to sell you any quick fixes.
- We start by discussing your goals and your expectation of your shoes, including price. We won't try and push you in any particular direction - you set the parameters.
- We'll discuss any injuries or problems you've been experiencing. Click here for more on injuries and injury prevention...
- Then the fitting process begins. We use track and video analysis to assess and understand exactly how your body operates. We test you barefoot, and then in the footwear selections that seem most appropriate, until we've found the right pair to match all your requirements.

There is quite a technical aspect to sports footwear selection if injury prevention and a fantastic ride are your primary goals, but our aim is to make the process as jargon-free and user-friendly as possible.
We log all your details, your shoes, any injuries and your biomechanical profile into your online profile, which is accessible at all our stores. This means that each time you visit, our understanding of what your feet really need is further improved and fine tuned.
Shoe Science is the only technical shoe store to keep such extensive customer records. You wouldn't go to a doctor who didn't keep notes - your feet deserve the same level of service.
Sports shoes have a manufacturer's warranty that covers workmanship. But Shoe Science goes one step further, with a 'fitting and selection' guarantee. If for any reason you are not 100% happy with your shoes in the first 30 days after purchase, we will replace them FREE. NO HASSLES.
Believe it or not, you don't pay a premium for all this great service. And Shoe Science is not just for the elite athletes with cash to spare - our products are for everyone who exercises. Our running shoes start from $159 and our walking shoes from just $139. You won't get a better package of shoes and service anywhere else.
Our aim is that you leave our store wowed by the service you received, and then by the wear experience of your new shoes.
