Ok, So i'm looking for some new running shoes, I need to be gait tested! My ankles roll inwards at the moment with my current shoes! =[

I need to know where i can get some good shoes from along with a gait test! Dispite the price. I live in Harlow and wouldnt mind traveling 20 miles or so to a shop.

Only problem. I'm size 11 and the last shop i tried only had one pair of size 11 shoes !

 

Any recommendations would be AWSUM! :)

Joe.

Hi Joe,  There is a very good shop in Saffron Walden that video's you on a treadmill.  There is link on this website. Hover over members and click on link.  The shop is call Runaway.

Hi,

I had my gait analysed at Runaway and they are good. They let you run outside to try the shoes you want to buy. 

They seem to have most mens and womens shoes but have more womens clothes than mens.

 

 Also Start Fitness have some good offers on shoes and clothes, website is www.startfitness.co.uk

 

Regards Janice

Hi Joe

I have also been to Runaway as I  had a problem  and was very pleased with the running shoes they fitted me with.  Club members get a 10% discount too!


regards Paulene

Sweat shop at Bluewater is good as you can run in them for 30 days and if they are no good you can take them back.
