The 30 Best Running shoes in Manchester

“2023: Shoes wear out, so back again. Same staff, same great service! Once again, no hard sell, lots of shoes came out, running on the treadmill, comparing two shoes at the same time. You really feel like they want the best for your feet. They also stock a large collection of running apparell, so a one stop shop. Free parking is available from the superstore up the road, so you can get your shop get your shoes, job done! Great experience shopping for running shoes, assisted by staff that actually enjoy running. Whilst my wife was being helped, I was able to watch three other ladies being attended to, each was treated as an individual, with quite different requirements and all left with running shoes they had tried, compared and had had informed detail on each one. The prices of the shoes were in the end all around the same mark, not cheap but not stupid prices and what actually mattered was they were suitable for her running style, the running surface, her personal gait and lastly a style she liked. Worth the money rather than wasted money.”

“Great shopping experience with Running Bear. Ordered online but due to a technical problem the wrong shoes were sent. Matt sent a pre-paid returns label through straight away and held onto the correct pair until my order was returned. It makes such a difference when you can get through straight away and the problem is resolved in less than 5 minutes. Looking forward to shopping with them again.”

“I'd honestly give them 6 stars if i could. Ordered at 5pm, received my shoes at 12pm the next day with the free standard delivery. And lowest price online for the running shoes i chose. Great return policy as well. My new favourite shoe shop.”

“After going into store, really wasn’t sure with regards to which trainers would be best, I had a very knowledgeable young man named Jarrod Gritt that tended to me, nothing was too much trouble, I left the store happy and confident with my purchase, I shall definitely return to store and spread the word to my gym pals…. Very happy lady”

“I took my 19 month old daughter for a measurement and the staff were exceptional. The selection of shoes was brilliant and the staff could not do enough for us. So pleased with the experience, I won't be going to another shoe shop for my daughter ever again. Thank you so much.”

“Lovely experience shopping today with Kata helping make the best decisions for our autistic son. Very helpful and experienced staff member indeed! Thank you Kata”

“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.”

“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”

“Incredibly helpful and friendly staff.”

“I've been having trouble finding shoes to fit and be comfortable. I returned a pair after trying them at home. The gentleman in the shop remembered me and exchanged the shoes for a larger size no problem. He remembered that I'd been in and was undecided. It was a very pleasant transaction.”

“Fab place and staff are super friendly”

“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!!!”

“Got served by a lovely lady named Chicka, helped me find the trainers I was looking for online. Went above and beyond. Refreshing to see the younger generation work so hard!”

“Bought two pairs of shoes for our two year old grandson. No problem. Friendly and helpful young man helped us to measure his shoe size. Hand Sanatiser on table at front door”

“I Visited Oldham store few times and each time i was assisted by Darren Murray. He has excellent customer service, so attentive. He listens to customer request and goes the extra bit to help and support my request. He found what I was looking for by looking online on shoeszone website and then tracked shoes in back stock room where as others would simply say sorry not in store/stock. He has a caring attitude with " I'm happy to help"outlook and nothing is too much for him. Each time i go to store i look for him and if I can't see him I feel disappointed as often walk away with the aim to try some other day. I'm happy to travel from Ashton to Oldham even though Ashton does have store all because Darren Murray provides such a nice service..he's great asset to company. He needs recognition for his helpful and friendly service. Thanks Rita Patel”

“Visited this week to buy my daughter shies ready fir school return. Greeted with a friendly hello. Nothing was too much trouble and we came away with shoes and a smile. Great service from both staff members”

“Staff very helpful, reasonable prices. Very easy to park.”

“Love this store. Must see for Oasis fans. Lots of memorabilias and Oasis x Adidas merch. The only downside is that the Oasis jerseys are always sold out.”

“Good range of clothing for women, could be a bit bigger the shop though”

“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.”

“Unfortunately Royal Mail have lost my shoes! Luckily I bought them from Meeks Shoes online and John Meeks, director of the family company chatted with me directly. Replacement shoes were sent to me that afternoon by 24hr delivery and I am wearing them now! Thank you Meeks Shoes!”

“I attended Shuropody, Deansgate this morning for the Podiatry Clinic and was seen by Tembi. She was brilliant I had a big toe nail that was damaged and she managed to remove it with no pain and my feet feel marvelous. Also Rochelle downstairs in the shop could not have been nicer. Well done to all of you”

“Great shoe range especially if you are attending Asian weddings.”

“Came over to Base Camp in Stockport this weekend to purchase some Altberg boots. Mike was very helpful in explaining the different models and options available. It's definitely worth having your feet measured by a professional for this sort of thing and I'm really happy with my purchase. Base Camp also have a great selection of Paramo products in-store, looking forward to coming back and picking out a jacket later in the year.”

“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!”
