The 30 Best Running shoes retailers in Manchester

“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”

“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'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.”

“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”

“Good quality branded clothing for men and teens, my only concern.. I did not seen for ladies ..”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Went in to buy and get some advice on some football boots for my daughter as I didn’t know where to start! Got helped by someone called Kayley and I cannot praise her enough! She was helpful, kind and very patient with me! I will definitely be back in store again :)”

“Nice and friendly staff. I love fact that you can buy half size as sometimes it is almost impossible to buy shoes for my daughter as she is constantly in-between sizes.”

“I want to share my exceptional experience. I purchased a pair of mens workout/lounge bottoms a few years ago whilst I was in New Zealand but a few months ago the material on one of the legs separated (looked like it was glued together, not stitched) and one of the pocket zips had broke. I spoke to the online chat (not the most helpful with understanding my issue), who eventually directed me to visit my nearest store as they would be able to help. I live in Plymouth with my nearest store being either in London or Manchester, so when I was in Manchester I thought I would try my luck and take them into the store to see if they could be repaired. A lady with the initials AD (sorry I cannot remember your name) was very friendly and welcoming helped me. She clearly told me what to possibly expect from a repair and how long it would take. I mentioned that I live in Plymouth so wouldn't be back in Manchester for a while, to which she said that they can post it back to me which was great. She also said that the service is free of charge (including the postage), which I was not expecting at all, but with the service I received I will definitely buy more from lululemon in the future. Thank you again for your help AD, it is greatly appreciated!”

“Young lad khim. Made shopping easy and i hate it. Happy helpful and honest. I walked in and he smiled asked if I was OK. He asked what I was looking for. Pointed to them and said if you need anything I'm here. They didn't have my size so he helped me on the computor to order both pairs I wanted. Went well out of his way and gave perfect service. Well done.”

“Cameron is super lovely and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed ☺️”

“The most wonderful sales assistant who helped me find the perfect outfit. She was kind and helpful without being pushy for a sale. The store is in the third floor of Selfridges. I always love their products, super comfy yoga pants.”

“It is a very large and spacious store. There are always members of friendly staff about who are helpful finding any product you are looking for. They sell a wide range of products from household items to clothing for adults and children as well as electronics. Due to the size of the store it can take a while to find the section you are looking for.”

“My son was looking for a specific pair of trainers which were not stocked in store. The sales assistant, Ryan, found what my son was looking for online and ordered them with no problem and with free home delivery. Thanks Ryan.”

“Went to JD on the weekend and was treated by a young girl who had such good manners. I wish I got her name but she was wearing a headscarf and helped me pick out some comfy trainers as I had no clue which ones to get. Great experience would totally purchase from there again . All staff were lovely and kind. Thankyou .”

“~1115 hours Sunday 16/02/25 Excellent Customer Service I rang this store on 3 separate occasions, with 3 different female staff members answering the phone promptly on first ring. All ladies took details of my request and went away to check my request/stock levels etc. unfortunately my call line kept disconnecting. However the 3rd lady I spoke with explained they had spoken with each other and left a message for me explaining they did attempt to recall me but were unable to do so, the product I requested was not in stock and advised me how to contact Adidas Customer Service Centre. I would like to thank all 3 ladies for their excellent customer service, pleasant telephone manners and expert knowledge, I know one of the ladies was a Manager in the store and will be able to highlight and pass on my thanks to her team members. Thanks Pauline”

“I visited Sports Direct today and was helped by a lovely staff member named Pete, who’s usually at the entrance. He went above and beyond to make sure I found the right trainers for my needs and disabilities. After explaining a bit about what I was looking for, he took the time to really listen and find the best option within my budget. His customer service was outstanding — polite, positive, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. It’s rare to come across someone so genuine and dedicated to helping customers. Thank you, Pete, for making my shopping experience such a positive one!”

“Had to return trainers as my orthotics didn't fit. I had lost receipt so wasn't holding out much hope in being able to do so. Aidan was very helpful and eventually sorted it for me. I then asked for assistance purchasing some different trainers with removable insoles. Again Aidan was helpful,very patient and I went away with trainers to accommodate my difficult feet.”

“Very helpful and friendly staff.”

“Great kit, great company picked up the kit on the way back from the Digital Next office”
