Claim 0:
1. A system for transitioning from a first footwear type to a second footwear type different from the first footwear type, comprising:
a sensor system configured to sense biomechanical movement of a foot of a user, the sensor system comprising:
a plurality of sensors engaged with an article of footwear of the second footwear type and configured to sense biomechanical movement of a foot of the user; and
an electronic module configured to collect data based on input from the plurality of sensors; and

an electronic device in communication with the electronic module, wherein the electronic device includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform a method comprising:
recording a plurality of athletic activities performed by the user as part of a footwear transitional program, wherein each of the plurality of athletic activities includes data from the electronic module;
comparing data from each of the plurality of athletic activities to a corresponding footstrike template of a footwear transitional program for transitioning from the first footwear type to the second footwear type, wherein the footwear transitional program includes a plurality of footstrike templates having incremental changes between consecutive footstrike templates and associated with transitioning to a preferred footstrike of the second footwear type, wherein the preferred footstrike of the second footwear type differs from a preferred footstrike of the first footwear type, and wherein the plurality of footstrike templates includes a final footstrike template corresponding to a most preferred footstrike pattern of the second footwear type, and at least one intermediate footstrike template corresponding to a footstrike pattern between the preferred footstrike of the first footwear type and the preferred footstrike of the second footwear; and
generating a footstrike analysis report on a display of the electronic device, wherein the footstrike analysis report includes footstrike analysis of the user based on comparing data from each of the plurality of athletic activities to a footstrike template at a corresponding point in the footwear transitional program.
