Core offering

go3 operates a certified Sanitätshaus (orthopedic medical supply house) delivering personalized gait and movement analysis (dynamic treadmill and static posture analysis) followed by tailored recommendations for running shoes, ski boots, custom orthopedic insoles (including 3D-printed and proprietary carbon fiber variants), and medical aids such as bandages, braces, and compression stockings. The company combines in-house analysis technology and its own orthopedic workshop to manufacture custom solutions and serves both self-paying consumers and health-insurance-reimbursed patients through three Cologne retail locations and an online shop.

Product overview

The core offering centers on treadmill gait analysis (dynamic and static analyses) that inform customized product recommendations. Product portfolio includes proprietary go3 Carboneinlegesohle carbon insoles and sub-branded RocketSole products (Reaction, jump&run), alongside running shoes, ski boots, bandages, compression stockings, and orthoses. Services span Sports (running shoes, ski boots), Medical (orthotic insoles, bandages, Gonarthrosezentrum), and Analytics (static and dynamic movement analyses). An integrated online shop enables direct product sales. The company operates 3 retail locations in Cologne, Germany with an online booking system for consultations.

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Superfeet Worldwide: Global premium insole brand widely distributed through specialty running and outdoor retailers. Comparable to go3's branded insole line and gait-analysis-driven fitting model at the retail partner level.
• Bauerfeind AG: German market leader in orthopedic aids, compression stockings, braces, and insoles with a much larger global footprint. Directly comparable to go3 on the medical-orthopedic product side, though Bauerfeind is a mass-market manufacturer rather than a service-led Sanitätshaus.
• medi GmbH & Co. KG: Major German manufacturer of medical compression, orthopedic braces, and foot care products. Overlaps with go3's medical/orthopedic range (bandages, compression stockings, insoles), though medi is a global incumbent brand rather than a regional specialist retailer.
• BORT Medical GmbH: German manufacturer of orthopedic supports, braces, and medical aids. Comparable product overlap on the medical side of go3's Sanitätshaus portfolio, particularly for bandages, orthoses, and compression products.
• Ofa Bamberg GmbH: German manufacturer of medical compression stockings, orthopedic supports, and foot care products. Overlaps with go3's Sanitätshaus range on compression and orthopedic aids.

Emerging players

• Upstep: DTC custom-orthotics brand offering mail-order custom insoles based on foot impressions. Represents the digital-first disruption to traditional Sanitätshaus-style custom insole delivery that go3 competes against.
• Zoot Sports (part of Parts Unlimited): Triathlon and running shoe/apparel brand with biomechanical testing partnerships. Already a partner with go3 (Zoot Beach Run, biomechanical testing at Penzberg), making it a directly comparable niche footwear + performance-insights player.

Direct peers

• Runners Point GmbH: German specialty running retailer with gait analysis services across multiple stores. Comparable on the running shoe + analysis retail model, though at much larger scale and without an in-house orthopedic workshop.
• Footbalance System Oy: Nordic-origin custom insole system combining dynamic foot measurement with molded insoles, sold through sports retail partners. Directly comparable to go3's analysis-driven custom insole manufacturing model.
• Currex GmbH: German insole brand focused on biomechanically engineered sport and everyday insoles, sold through retail partners and DTC. Closely comparable to go3's insole portfolio, including the performance-oriented carbon/plate category.
