The fit and type of shoe worn, if not correct can cause all sorts of injuries, from Shin Splints to Stress Fractures.

Whether using a treadmill in a gym or training to run a mararthon , good running shoes are vital.

This year we have installed a fully computerised treadmill in the shop so that our customers can try out our shoes in a more testing manner to make sure the shoes they buy are the shoes they need.

By simply walking over a pressure sensitive floor pad we are able to pin point the main impact areas of your feet.
This allows us to better assess your running requirements, and make sure that the running or jogging shoes you buy from us are ideally suited for you.
