Invented when the shop first opened (1995) by its founder Raymond Corbaz, the NCS concept of “sports podology” applied to running is a philosophy built upon experience and dialogue with runners of all levels, and as a result has developed continuously over the years.

The concept is based on the widespread finding that 80% of walking and running-related pains and injuries are due simply to the wrong choice of footwear, or incorrect advice at the time footwear was purchased.
