Max at the Sheffield store
Max at the Sheffield store was extremely patient and helpful. Guided me to a potential great shoe but didn’t have in stock. Trying other up and running stores for the size.
Thanks very much Max :)

Rob was great
Rob was great, very knowledgeable and no pressure to buy the more expensive trainers, really just wanted to get the best ones, spent about 45 minutes going over them all and was great.

Amazing staff, helped me find perfect anti pronator shoes
Staff were really helpful. I needed anti pronator shoes for everyday wear, and I'm not at all a runner. I was shown plenty of options and given lots of time and assistance to decide which were right for me. There's two treadmills which you can try walking/running on where they can film you so you can see how you walk in them. Overall great experience and love my new shoes.

Look no further ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rob was amazing! Went above and beyond making sure I got the ones that fit best. Even though I was quite particular with wanting a certain colour rob was very patient and gave me many options. I must’ve tried on 10/12 pairs. Very happy with the customer service received from rob and can confirm the trainers have been great! Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent advise and service from Luke today. As disabled person with MS I was skeptical that a trainer could make a difference to my stability, balance and walking ability! I was wrong! Luke understood my needs & weakness in walking and steered me straight to the Brooks Ghost 18 - perfect in everyway. Thank you so much
