Ordering from Up & Running was quick and straightforward, with a simple and easy-to-use website. My Brooks trainers arrived promptly, and the delivery was excellent. The trainers are fantastic and comfortable, great quality, and exactly what I was looking for. A smooth shopping experience from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to order from Up & Running again.

Aaron in the Headington, Oxford shop was so kind and helpful when I went in to buy a hat just now! He made sure I was aware which discounts I was eligible for, and I felt very comfortable in asking questions and being in the shop. Would come again for service like his. 👍

Visited the Sheffield store this weekend and had absolutely fabulous service from Liz. As a new runner, I was feeling very overwhelmed with all the different options for shoes - coupled with a few physical difficulties and previous injuries, I really wanted some advice from someone who knew what they were talking about. Liz performed a gait analysis and brought a variety of different shoes out for me to try, repeating the gait analysis each time and comparing results. She was extremely friendly and approachable and I’ve come away with my first ever pair of running shoes, which feels like a monumental milestone in my journey! Thank you so much Liz, you’ve gained a returning customer :)

Very personable, friendly and knowledgeable customer service in store. Although the shoe size I needed was not in stock, I made my purchase on their recommendation online. The website was easy to navigate, I had a 10% discount voucher and delivery was within a few days

We visited on a Sunday afternoon about an hour before closing time.
Our 12 year old son needed his first set of proper running shoes and Lewis was phenomenal in terms of his customer service, knowledge and the choices that he provided us with. We had lots of questions about the type of trainer needed for our son’s wide feet and the type of terrain he’d be running on. Lewis was able to advise us on a pair of trainers that would suit in both the short and longer term.
I also needed a new pair of trainers and undertook the gait analysis on the treadmill. Again Lewis was very clear in his communication and knowledgeable about the best trainer for me.
Would recommend 100% of the time if you want to select the best trainer for your running that will hopefully allow you to stay injury free.

Very helpful in the shop. Treadmill to try out running shoes. I needed a wide fit which was not available in store so the assistant checked their online store and suggested that I buy there.

Highly recommend Up & Running Shoe Shop in Barnet! Max was absolutely fantastic. He took the time to understand exactly what I needed, measured my gait, and used his extensive knowledge and expertise to recommend the right shoes for me for my upcoming training.
There was absolutely no pressure to buy the most expensive option—just honest, expert advice focused on finding the best fit. It’s refreshing to receive such personal service from someone who genuinely knows their stuff.
Shopping local really does make a difference, and this experience is a perfect example of why. Outstanding customer service from start to finish. Thanks, Max!
