Recommendations please - Greater Manchester Running Shoe Shop

I’m in need of new running shoes - I’ve worn the grips away on my old ones. Can anyone suggest where I can get replacements from. Ideally somewhere that knows running and can advise me as I don’t want to come away with expensive fashion trainers that are not good to run in.

I’m in Tameside and happy to travel a bit further out. Our local running shop closed last year.

Thanks

I recently asked this for a friend.

Another running friend recommended the following

Run Northwest in Wilmslow

Running Bear in Alderley Edge

Up and Running on Deansgate or Oldham (not town centre, apparently)

Brooke's have a good shoe guide online which recommends a suitable shoe and has a very long no quibble returns policy. As do some other reputable shoe brands at the moment.

Thanks - I’m thinking Oldham is the nearest

I got my first running shoes from runningbear.co.uk/ in Alderley.
