One day… Or day one. You decide.

The end of one year and the beginning of the next is often a time when we pause to take stock, look back at where we’ve come from and have a think about how we might like to move forward.

While it’s traditional to make a New Year’s resolution and enjoy the fresh start feeling, for some it can feel like setting yourself up to fail. The key is to choose an achievable goal – and take the first step. You can also make it a quiet resolution; you don’t have to broadcast it. Every small gain is a plus and you can take things at your own pace.

A good starting point

Many people have health and fitness in mind when considering a new direction. Walking is proven to be a simple yet effective approach to wellness, suitable for all. Walk half an hour a day and you’re immediately on the right track, or find a local walking club and make it social. Or perhaps you’d like to step it up a bit and try the Couch to 5K programme, a brilliant way to ease into running, even for those who have never run before.

Setting goals and event participation

We have many customers who are keen runners and will be looking ahead at which events they’d like to train for in 2026. Participating in a race, whatever the distance, is a great way to focus the mind and drive motivation. Camaraderie often grows during event training, and having a training buddy helps keep the momentum going. There are a huge array of events to choose from, from local 10Ks to regional marathons, to fun relays such as Endure 24, to longer distances such as the Threshold Trail Series or even, for the truly daring – the Marathon des Sables. So choose your weapon and plan your attack!

Finding the right footwear to support your quest

Whether you’re a keen New Year’s ‘resolutionist’ or just want to turn the page and start afresh, we have just the shoes for you… and what better way to begin than in the right shoes.

The Profeet Run Lab features the state-of-the-art RUNRIGHT-3D running shoe analysis system – developed by motion analysis specialists in conjunction with Profeet biomechanists. Sounds fancy, but it does an excellent and accurate job of scanning you as you run on a treadmill, noting your gait style and selecting a choice of proven, ideal shoes for you. So you can hit the ground running in footwear that works.

Walking and hiking boots – that fit

If you love walking or trekking and are looking for comfortable boots or shoes, we’re here to help. There are few genuine walking boot fitting specialists around London and the Southeast – other stores may sell walking boots, but don’t actually ‘fit’ them. At Profeet we carefully measure your feet and assess your lower limbs and gait pattern, to find the right walking footwear for you.

We stock a range of premium boots and shoes to suit most feet, including wider feet and boots especially for those with bunions. Then we create custom insoles (with 90 Day Guarantee) to enhance fit and comfort and can also stretch boots to accommodate the nuances of your feet. Why not start 2026 with properly fitting boots and say goodbye to blisters and sore feet.

Hyrox and F45

Already gaining in popularity, these sports are going to be huge in 2026. More and more people are joining classes and taking up competitive challenges. High intensity in nature, these sessions combine running with circuit training to build strength and stamina. Again, it’s essential to be in the right shoes that give the best foot hold, stability and comfort as you move around the course. Our Core Assessment will find the right shoes for you.

Padel, tennis, cricket, football… what’s your sport?

If you’re struggling with your footwear and experiencing issues such as knee, ankle or foot pain, then a custom insole can make the difference. Following analysis by one of our trained technicians, Profeet custom insoles are created to improve the interface between your feet and your shoes. They are designed to help address whatever problems you may be experiencing and provide enhanced cushioning, foot hold, stability and support as needed. But please bring your own footwear as we don’t hold shoe stock for every sport!
