Sport store in Derby

“I went for a gait analysis today and was very happy with the service. I was served by Mary who is very knowledgeable and gave plenty of good advice on what shoes would be best for me as I’m training for my first half marathon and have not ran further than 10km before. The gait analysis results were explained clearly and I was able to try on a variety of different shoes and felt I could take my time and there was no pressure to buy and I settled on a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS. I was also given advice on nutrition and how to keep my energy levels up during longer distance runs with energy gels/bars so also got a sample pack of some flapjacks and will return to get some bars or gels during my training and for race day! Running Form is a lovely small business, and it’s clear those working there are knowledgeable about all things running! I’d recommend paying them a visit whether you’re just starting out with running or have completed multiple ultras!”

“The world needs more Richards! Second time I have bought from Saltdog cycling and each experience has been brilliant. Lake shoes are amazing and Richard is so knowledgable. Don’t hesitate, ring Richard, have a chat, work out your footwear needs and your size with him and order. Every time you ride you probably have a few bib shorts or tights to pick from, several base layers, jerseys, gloves and prob even sunglasses but you will always go to the same shoes. Get it right with Lake. I have spent a small fortune on overshoes over the years but my feet are always cold in winter. The Lake MX146 has transformed my riding in temps down to 2degrees. ( so far).”

“Just bought the new Factor Aluto gravel from Velo Bavarian. Fantastic shop and people!! Absolutely excellent service from Matt , Jimmy and staff from start to finish on my custom requirements for my bike build . 100% recommend anyone looking for a custom build or anything else to check them out !!”

“Ordered a Cobra exhaust for my 370Z and Chris was very helpful in recommending the rubbers and also sending out so all arrived in just a short time. Love the note the exhaust gives the car, very happy”

“Great site, great staff - would absolutely come again and was made to feel very welcome as a newcomer to the site. Only one real criticism of the site at the moment and that would be the parking situation. The car park itself is undersized compared to the rate the site has seemingly grown over recent months - speaking to the marshals who were all really pleasant and well organised, they did their best to coordinate folks leaving at the end of the day and they did acknowledge they are planning to upscale the parking now the site has become more popular. I would recommend a car pool situation if you can as there is no realistic location to park other than the site itself with it being backed off a B road, or be ready to wait for people to leave to get off site. Site was well maintained and laid out, albeit a similar issue with how busy the parking situation was, the safe zone was equally busy - again the marshals all recognised this and suggested they're working on it - everyone was really accommodating otherwise. Solid recommend if you enjoy woodland scenarios with long range engagements, although I would recommend some knee or arm protection as there are holly bushes in the game space (although the marshals did suggest those bushes were out of bounds - so folks complaining they were prickled did not listen to the warning). Game modes revolved around attack and defend positioning, not dissimilar to Battlefields "rush" game mode where the attacking team had an objective to plant whilst the defenders would fall back as those points break. The game mode ran for a little long although this wasn't the fault of the Marshals moreso the lack of aggression from players (speaking as an attacker). I'd imagine with a smaller player count the game mode would scale quite well. All in all a good day complimented by good weather and good honest sportsmanship from the regulars and marshals. Would absolutely come again under the hope the parking is improved.”

“I taken my remington t-rex 177 air rifle to be Changed down in pressure. For Target shooting I didn't have a clue on how to do it but as soon as I taken it to belper tackle and gun. They Automatically knew how to do it and it taken them literally matters of minutes. Such good knowledge on all different air rifles and different air pistols definitely recommend them for any Repairs”

“I just want to thank Luca for his efficient and very fast service. Definitely went above and beyond. did other bits to it too. Was shocked to get a message saying it was done early Definitely recommend for quick fast service.plus value for money.”

“Went with my son today, really helpful friendly staff. Fantastic selection of boards and clothing. Great little skate park too. Fantastic shop and will definitely be visiting more often even though its a 50min drive away for us, it's 100% worth it.”

“Wow. Very impressed with Merlin archery, they have everything! James helped us find a new riser and limbs for our son and within our tight budget (our son needs to stop growing now!) James was professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. The prices were good, the range was very extensive. I'm sure we will be back (when our son has grown out of this bow!) Thank you for a great experience.”

“Great bunch of guys, always polite and happy to help, my bike is absolutely perfect and built excellently. Will definitely be recommending them in the future.”

“Adam is great and was very patient when it came to us choosing our new workwear. Everything is great quality and we are extremely happy with everything. Highly recommend!”

“Had my company workwear renewed and branded. Excellent knowledge from Paul and hist team. First class products at competitive prices. The service was superb.”

“Best place for children‘s hiking gear that I have found. Really went above and beyond with information and advice when I was looking for a rucksack for my son, and a great range of products available. Nice fast delivery, too. Highly recommended.”

“Got my family Christmas gifts from here and birthday gifts, too! It's been handy to have around in case you need something fun or a gift. Also, offers click and collect too on items they have in stock if you need to get something but don't have the time, give them a visit if you have the time, no end of fun stuff to play with and the staff seem to be having fun too which always adds to the experience.”

“Outstanding shoe fitting service for my Dad with Parkinson’s and diabetic neuropathy. Disabled access brilliant and friendly customer service. Couldn’t praise them enough”

“Have had two really good experiences here. Fantastic customer service, knowledgeable about the products, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.”

“Who doesn't love a pair of Converse? While this ain't the biggest store on the planet it does pack a lot in and while it might not have brand new designs in it does have a lot of stuff I've not really seen elsewhere. Staff are absolutely spot on and the prices are fantastic on some of the shoes. (20 quid for a pair of Converse - I'll have that). Be careful with the sizes on the boxes though, look for the UK size - it's written a little smaller under the other sizes.”

“Very friendly and professional staff. Helped me pock a good gt aggressor bike and also assisted in getting the sit to my right height. The lady gave me tips on bicycle riding. Wide ranges of bicycles and accessories. Lovely place.”

“Yeh another good ground. Great location. Such great facilities. Stewards well under control accents are brilliant over here and they are all friendly. Burgers chips hot dogs beers all sold in the ground turnstiles open at decent time.”

“Can't recommend enough, staff are extremely helpful but not pushy. Great selection of North Face, Berghaus, Peter Storm fleeces, jackets and walking boots. Have bought many items and will no doubt buy many more. A trip into town always includes a quick look in Blacks.”

“The club shop of Derby County. Shirts, shorts, socks and everything else to support the team. Little bit on the expensive side, especially when taking the family but good quality Puma merchandise. You can park right outside and spend time looking around all the goodies. Plenty of places to eat around once you are done with the shopping.”

“Good value for money clothing and kit for outdoors. Bought a new DLX waterproof coat after my old one was showing its age after 7 years. I saved even more by becoming a member. Worth it.”

“Had great service with this fellow.”

“I think that most people know of Matalan and this is a nicely spaced store with a good range of very reasonably priced clothing for all the family. The children's range is very useful as we know how quickly they grow out of clothes before they have had their wear out of them! There is a range of household goods too. The staff are friendly and helpful. In addition there is free parking here for four hours if you want to visit the town centre on your trip !”

“Great service, would happily go again. I visited here to buy some gloves. I watched the sales person give great service to the women in front of me (guiding them to a smaller and better fitting size of garment) and he then gave equally good service to me (patiently answering all my questions).”

“Bought a winter jacket from there on the recommendation of a friend. Really pleased with the durability and the warmth it provides. Prices are a tad bit on the higher side but still half of the cost in North face; Yet a good alternate if youre buying for day to day winter wear and not mountain climbing.”

“First time shopping at Next store on Saturday had no clue, approached Debra who helped size me up and get my suit fitted perfectly and also arranged to have it delivered on a Sunday delivery the whole experience was amazing and would not only recommend Debra but also happily shop at Next again in the future”

“Been buying from here for years. Orders over £20 free delivery is brilliant. It's not close to me so this is perfect. Can get everything I need from felt tips to outdoor large toys. Love this shop for the kids.”

“After a pair of walking boots, staff were very friendly and helpful, good value.”
