Have popped into this shop on my occasion. Tried and tested many shoes. I am very indecisive and like to see all my options. The guys and girls in the shop are always so happy to help. It seems every time like they genuinely enjoy what they do and sell and are never bias or pushy but offer thought out and useful advice. Recently purchased a pair of Hoka Bondi 9s from these guys which I couldn’t be happier with. Be back soon for some faster racing shoes. Thanks!

Went in to get some road running shoes, the chap was really patient and had a good product knowledge, he helped me find a supportive shoe and let me try them out on the treadmill. Ended up with Saucony Guide 18s and can confirm they felt really great on my evening run. Really pleased I went to this shop as I probably wouldn't have considered those shoes otherwise. NHS discount was appreciated too

New to running and this amazing shop was simply the best experience I could wish for ;-) After buying many pairs online I was searching for that perfect wide shoe to get into some light trail running. I was able to quickly try out a range of brands and the store helped me zero in on the perfect shoe. Was even able to test these on their instore treadmill which made ALL the difference. Warm and welcoming, with so much knowledge and choice on tap, highly recommended. Thanks a million!

My two most perfect pairs of running shoes are from this store. Staff absolutely wonderful in their knowledge and guidance. And very patient when I took literally hours to decide on my last pair! Especially helpful in considering the mixed needs of road and trail shoes for local runs.

Great service given to me and my partner last week showed us both a range of trainers and analysed my gait which meant I got some game changing trainers. All whilst busy with multiple customers. So much better than online or chain stores.
