When buying shoes I always have one part of the foot that is troublesome for comfort. The salesperson spotted that immediately without me pointing it out and chose a selection that focused on a stretched fit in that area. I have been buying athletic shoes for a very long time and that is the first time someone was attentive and knowledgeable enough to spot the problem and provide a selection that negated the issue. I’ve worn the Mizunos that they suggested after watching me run and walk for over two weeks and thoroughly enjoy them!

I have feet, but aside from that my knowledge of running is very slim. The staff here are incredibly helpful, they analyse your gait by getting you to run up and down in the street(maybe best to do this on a quiet day if you get embarrassed). Within a few metres they’ll be able to tell you pretty much exactly what you need. Once this is done you can try on a 4 – 5 pairs and see what works best for you. It is more expensive than just buying some shoes online, but you get exactly the right ones for you and may I say that I have never owned running shoes as comfy as this.

Great service. Very professional. Priceless advice. You may get cheaper shoes online, but you’re not going to get the ones perfect for you. Here they will let you try 4 – 5 shoes and run in them on actual pavement before you choose.

Nice selection and helpful staff — they are quite knowledgable and really help you find the right shoes and kit(I appreciated this after coming from another sports store where they either ignored me or tried to push shoes on me blindly). They seem to know the mechanics of running and will suggest shoes and take you outside to watch you run in them to see what fits and works the best. This made a big difference in what shoes I likely would not have chose myself, but work great and have me running better. I did not expect this and makes me wonder if I have been in the wrong shoes for years. The place is a short walk from the St. James’s Park tube station(District or Circle lines).

Run and become are a great resource, particularly for quite new runners, like me. The staff are all really knowledgeable and passionate about running and always happy to help. Whether you need a new pair or trainers, or advice as to how to wear a running ruck-sack, this is the place to go!
