Can anyone recommend a good store to get running shoes in the Southampton/Chandlers Ford area?

I really don't know anything about running shoes and am currently running in an old disintegrating pair of shape ups, which I know is not good. Can anyone recommend somewhere good that will explain it all to a numpty like me?!

I don't know that area but well known shops that offer good advice along with gait analysis when buying your running shoes are Up and Running and Sweat Shop. I have also found the InterSport chain good for advice when buying running shoes, but they can be hit and miss and as not all their staff when I have been in are running shoe specialists.

A google search of those may show some in your area.

Hi Pixie

Chandlers Ford boasts a great specialist running shop. I think its in the Fryern Arcade.

If not, there's a running shop in Eastleigh just outside the Swan centre or if you go into Southampton there's a Sweatshop just down from the Bargate.

Can't think of anywhere else! :)

Yep. The Chandler's Ford shop is a branch of Up & Running. I had my gait analysis done there, they were very good.
