Jeff Van Horn has been a runner for most of his life. Once a competitive runner, he now runs for leisure and fun. Jeff has a degree in Sport Medicine. While in school he became interested in running and walking injury.

Enter: Lucky Foot.

Lucky Foot is a full service running store that marries Jeff’s passion for running and a fundamental desire to help people. He is using his background in Sports Medicine to observe human biomechanics and motion in order to evaluate the technological features of running and walking shoes; specifically, how those shoes are affecting the way people run and walk.

Jeff has created a specially designed Apple iPad application that records runners’ motion from all angles and then dissects each plane. This allows him to analyze runners’ bilateral symmetry and how it relates to their overall form. By conducting this gait analysis, Jeff is able to better identify any problems a person may be having. By identifying and rectifying a problem in a person’s gait, Jeff hopes to make running fun again.

Remember, Lucky Foot is a simple concept business and speciality running store. Its foundation is to make running simple and fun for everybody.
