RunBiokin

BioKin is a running-focused service that helps people find footwear suited to their individual structure and strength. Founded by Jebadiah Merkle, who says his own experience with recurring running injuries led him to focus on shoes, the business treats footwear as a foundation for movement and comfort. BioKin provides professional shoe fittings and shoe and gait analysis, with recommendations intended to support how clients move—not only through their feet and ankles, but across the body.

Clients seek BioKin’s help for a range of goals, including managing discomfort, reducing injury-related setbacks, improving comfort during everyday activity, and continuing to participate in sport. Services may include fitting clients with shoes and insoles, along with recovery exercises and practical guidance. Testimonials describe improvements in issues such as shin splints, knee discomfort, and soreness in the feet, back, or hips after following recommendations. BioKin welcomes people who use their feet to move, not only competitive or performance runners, and offers consultations to help them explore whether its approach may suit their needs.
