Buying Trainers

[Dick Knights Mumm]

where is the best place to buy trainers - both in terms of best value - and also service (where they look at your running gait etc) where they recommend certain shoes ?

any suggestions ?

I did the old wet foot on newspaper to see exactly how your foot lands when you run.then somewhere online it tels you which trainers best suite you.Ebay is always worth a look for running shoes.

There is a shop down George Street in Brighton, it's near the corner of George Street and Edward Street.

Either RUN by George st, or go to a spacialist shop like SWIFT by the old steine or intersport in lewes

Running/jogging is undignified. Go for a walk in a nice pair of shoes.

Run in Hove. They are really nice as well as knowledgeable. They will spend as long as it takes to find you the right ones. Highly recommended.

Argreed... and just 15 years of age too!!


DON'T go to sole trader, they add 10-15 quid on every pair of shoes they get in.. and they're all legal in there too......

Pains me a bit to say this because I love The Jog Shop and Swift Sports, but you can't go wrong with Nike cross trainers and they're always £20-£30 in Sports Soccer.

What about the retards that serve/don't actually serve you though

My advice is to do some research! Have a look (shops or interweb) at the kind of trainers you fancy; draw up a short-list; have a look around the places in brighton that might sell 'em; try 'em on for size/try some alternatives; make your choice; buy them on the spot/check out the price at other retailers/see what you can get them for online; pay; wear & enjoy

agreed - the staff may not give the best technical support but will have you looking fly in a pair of '88 ZX500s in a funky colour scheme that no one else on the next 10k you do will be sporting

Bom Banes is tiny little place with room upstairs for about 12 at a squeeze. there is a cocktail bar downstairs. Basically they just do simple Belgian food, mostly sausages and stoemp, with the odd special. It's got the most interesting tables in town including one that revolves. You really have to see it for yourself. Get involved! Main dishes no more that 12 quid. Plus, if you're lucky, the waiting staff with sing to you (the owners husband plays live with Arthur Brown.

How much help do you need, though?

Put your hand inside the train and push the front half up to see how it far it bends - the more the better for running shoes. Really can't go wrong with Nike crosses, they're solid as f***.
