The 30 Best Athletes' accessories in Manchester

“Bought a range of Airofin items (jersey/winter jersey/bib leggins/bib shorts) for cycling as I was in need of some new gear. Really pleased with all of it. Good prices but still a step up from the standard dhb gear. The jacket is the perfect length but not at all baggy and the bib shorts are much more comfortable than my last pair as the padding covers a bigger area. Overall really pleased with this gear. Would recommend. Some really good discounts on the website right now also.”

“I have been wanting the Clairemont Way Fisherman Sandals for the past few months but couldn't get them online in a size 8. I thought I would go into a physical store to see if I got lucky. A male staff member said that they unfortunately only had a size 7.5 in stock. I assumed that it wasn't meant to be, but straight away, he said that he could make a call and see whether they have some in another store. Not only did they have my size available, but he sorted the order at the till to ensure that I could have the shoes delivered to my home address. I really appreciated how attentive he was in finding a solution so that I could get the pair of shoes that I wanted. I would definitely come here again. This was on Wednesday 30th July at 2:30pm.”

“Been here a few times and staff always have been friendly and helpful clean store”

“I went for a gait analysis today at runners need, we just turned up not realising they did actually have an appointment system, their next appointment wasn’t until later that day and the shop wasn’t busy at the time we went in so the guy happily did the gait analysis. I have never had one before and wasn’t sure what to expect apart from running on a treadmill, the guy who did the analysis was very knowledgeable and very thorough, he was very helpful and I felt confident he knew what he was talking about and felt confident enough to take his advice!! As it turns out I have been running in shoes that are 1.5 sizes too small, hence all the problems I have been having! I wanted to leave this review as there are so many bad ones and had I read these before I probably wouldn’t have gone there. Don’t be put off by all the bad reviews!!!”

“Found this store on my way to Cheetah Mill. It is a great spot for anyone looking for quality sportswear at affordable prices. I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the prices were compared to buying from shoe stores. The store has a good variety of trainers, apparel, and accessories, and the deals make it easy to shop without overspending. Staff were helpful and the shopping experience was smooth. Definitely worth visiting if you want genuine Nike products at fair prices”

“I get my boys Blazers and PE kits from here. The quality is great and washes really well, and prices are very good. Very friendly staff that are really helpful and give great customer service. I would'nt go anywhere else.”

“We have used Athletics Direct a few times now and find them professional, friendly and efficient. Equipment has been excellent with fast delivery. Highly recommended.”

“Sports Feet is a excellent independent shop. Dave and Allison are very knowledgeable. They took the time to understand my fitness goals, and my past knee injuries to help me find the perfect running shoe. Their personalised approach made all the difference. Highly recommend!”

“I am truly impressed by the great customer service! The email responses take a very little time to arrive, and are very supportive. Paul was outstanding in helping out to sort the postage issues. The refund for some items has been processed quickly and I have been well informed of what is happening at every stage - from pre-ordering until closing down the refunds. I am truly grateful and will definitely recommend the gr8fencing. Prices are pocket-friendly, too! The same items in a different store, with 10% discount, would still cost us nearly £30 more than the final order placed with Gr8fencing! The items have been shipped and delivered quickly. They are of great quality and fit well (we have bought the fencing mask and trousers for the first time, online, based on sizing given on the website - perfect fit!). I truly recommend the gr8sports to anyone :-)”

“Booked a slot this morning at Peloton in John Lewis Cheadle with Hannah to learn about the Peloton bike in more detail. Hannah was fantastic at explaining the bike and app and spending over an hour answering my questions. I never felt any pressure to purchase and left the store to think about it. I ended up walking back in half and hour later to order my bike. Exceptional customer service and support!”

“Excellent service. Responded when I asked for assistance with sizing. Good quality product and dispatched promptly. Very satisfied and I would use the company again.”

“Visited with my partner who had unsuccessfully bought lots of trail shoes online. Friendly and helpful staff who made sure that she got the right trail shoes for her. No attempt to upsell - she ended up buying a pair from the sale section which were a bargain. Would recommend without hesitation.”

“Fantastic service from George, excellent quality in the store.”

“Staff are always very friendly and helpful. Great knowledge of lacrosse and the equipment they are selling. Shop sells equipment for novice players and pros alike and treats all customers the same. Very professional and respond quickly to queries and questions. Transparent and communicative on deliveries which, in my experience, have always been on time and packaged well etc.”

“Fantastically friendly and knowledgeable staff, went in today for some new running trainers as mine were old and giving me issues, explained this to the gent who served me, and after assessing my feet and gait he was able to explain exactly what was causing my issues and offer me trainers that matched my needs. I feel very very chuffed with the service i received and the pricing matches that of many other retailers so well worth a visit! 11/10 would recommend!”

“We visited the shop today and were extremely happy with the service we received. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. We went in for football boots and the owner gave my children tennis balls for free and even played 'football' with my son. It started to rain lightly when we were leaving and they even offered to lend us an umbrella. We will definitely go back again.”

“Hubby wanted to buy me a specific handbag - sold out everywhere other than 1 left in Canary Wharf branch. R&B customer services had it sent to St Ann’s Manchester for me to collect. Awesome service, Awesome people at St Anns. Have shopped there many times but this particular time was special, knowing how hard the bag was to track down. Thank you R&B my go-to ♥️”

“Came into the store and Aaron and team were super helpful! Couldn’t have asked for more! Would definitely be back again to purchase! Thanks Aaron!”

“I went to the shop with a good idea of what I wanted to buy. I was given good advice and had a nice chat with the 2 blokes in there. This is the kind of sports shop that every town used to have. You can't beat face to face advice and being able to see and touch what you are buying. They stock a wide range of equipment. Brilliant.”

“Ordered wrong size but was able to exchange easily and without quibble”

“Surprised there's any negative reviews on here, Huw and the team are brilliant, honest from the start and responsive throughout. I've gone through a few cowboys in this sector but Teejac are a cut above.”

“Super honest and super helpful.Had passed by this shop few times , decided to walk in to check for a pair or badminton shoes . Mo was super helpful and very knowledgeable, he made me comfortable and never tried to sell but explained my choices and the product features , ended up buying a pair of amazing Salming Venom shoes , by far the best court shoes I had used and I got it for a fantastic prices , even lesser than online price, most importantly there the human touch where my requirements was considered and right guidance was given by Mo. Will definitely recommend and will revisit for stringing service.”

“Went in last friday - they have new stock in some lovely tops bought 3”

“Gorgeous service from this branch of Clarks today. I’d booked a fitting for our two little ones and the lady was very attentive and enthusiastic without overwhelming them. She was also very thorough in checking the shoes fitted well, even asking a colleague for a second opinion. Both were brilliant with the kids overall and we left with what we needed. Will definitely come back!”

“I only wanted some pumps, the other half wanted walking boots. We ended up getting all we wanted and slippers. The staff were helpful and polite.. couldn't fault anything”

“A positive experience in this store with a variety of shoes to choose from, also shout out to Hassan who provided an excellent service.”

“I can't recommend this company high enough. I needed to purchase a New Liverpool Jersey last minute so went on Amazon. The delivery under express service was 2 - 3 days, so I decided to contact A & A sports directly and see if I could get it sooner. I spoke with a brilliant gentleman who sent the Jersey on next day delivery. Amazing, friendly and professional service to say the least.”

“Very pleased with my bag. Pricey was very helpful and efficient and had me on way in no time. Will 100 percent be back, great service. Rhys”

“Quiet busy ,but staff where friendly had grandsons feet measured, got him a good pair of school shoes and trainers”
