I'm posting this review 3 days and 2 runs after I visited the shop. I thought it made sense to try the trainers I bought and then post.

I went there to get a new pair of trainers, a little bit at the end of my tether. I have been doing the c25k programme, and having completed it found myself in quite a lot of pain in the days after each run. It didn't look good.

I figured it was probably the trainers I was running in or at least hoped.

Well, they checked my running, showed me what it looked like and offered a bunch of different trainers to try..all tailored to help me with the way I run.

And here I am, the day after a 5k run, waking around with no pain, feeling pretty good about carrying on running.

So yes, 5 stars. The difference between giving up, hurting myself or being able to carry on.
