Need Assistance to buy a new pair of running shoes.

Hi, All

After completing W5R3, I now think I need a new pair of running shoes. Can anyone please recommend a store that is not biased to a brand and commission plus can do a gait analysis and recommend shoes based on my running? (Looking for store in London)

Look up independent running shops on google. Read the reviews. I’m sure there will be a good shop pretty close to you.

Stay away from the High Street Sports Shops.

If you Google 'gait analysis near me ' you will get a list of stores that offer this and they will match you with the right shoe not the brand. Oh and we like photos of new shoes on here🤣 good luck

You can always look at their reviews online too. Go somewhere that will take all the time you need and let you try lots on. I bought mine in Runnersneed. The one in Bristol has patchy reviews, but I do love my shoes. 💛

I used Runners Need which was based in a large independent sports store. I think if you Google it you will find something. The one I went to was in Staines but I think there are others
