re: Is getting fitted for running shoes worth it?

It's not so much "fitting" as it is them watching you walk/run in them for a little bit and making sure they're good for your level of pronation, shoe size, etc. Think of it as a more advanced version of your mom making you walk around in the shoes at PayLess!

Exactly. I hate the term "fitting". They will tell you if you are an over/under-pronator or not. But outside of that, there is no fitting other than size. They can basically say you should use a supportive heel shoe or not. Everything else is really a preference. Now a running shop has better insight as to what shoes may fit what you like, but you have to communicate what you like (more cushion, less cushion, wider toe box, lower drop, higher drop, etc.)
