| Biog: Martin is the manager of the succesful Manchester shop, and an active runner too. He'll have a go at any sort of running, and one of his favorite races is "Leg it Round Laithkill". |
Biog:
I have been a competitive runner for 10 years. I competed in the Great North Run 4 times and managed a
position of 28 with 68:08. I have represented the North of England region and was ranked in the UK top 30
for the 5,000 metres in the 2006 track season. I am also a qualified UK Athletics Level 2 endurance coach.
|
Biog: I participate in a number of different events, including Triathlons and road racing up to Half Marathon distance. Short term, I am looking forward to taking part in my first Ironman 70.3 Triathlon in the summer and also competing in the notorious Helvellyn Triathlon. Long term, I am looking to up the mileage to Marathon distance, with my first Marathon scheduled for Amsterdam in October, breaking PBs along the way! |

FAQ - some common questions answered
- Do I have to book for a gait analysis?
- No! Gait analysis is available Mon-Sat 10am – 5:30pm, Sundays 11am – 4:30pm
- What is the best time to come into the store?
- The busiest period by far are 12pm - 4pm on a Saturday. Sundays can get busy between 12pm and 3pm, and weekdays tend to be busier around 1pm til 2pm. I would suggest that you stay away from the busy times, simply on the grounds that you wont have to queue up for use of the treadmill. Remember, we are open from 10am - 6pm mon - sat, and 11am - 5pm on Sunday.
- What is gait analysis?
- 'Gait' is basically the scientific name for walking! A gait analysis therefore is the analysis of your walking pattern. This is done by recording your gait whilst you walk or run on a treadmill. We have a computer programme which then allows us to analyse your gait while you watch!
- Is gait analysis free?
- Yes when you are looking to buy shoes!
- How long does gait analysis take?
- Gait analysis itself is a relatively short process, but you need to allow yourself 30mins to have the analysis and try on the shoes recommended to you.
- What is the average price of your shoes?
- The average price of shoe in the shop is £75, although we do have shoes at £60 and others up to £130!
- What makes of shoes do you sell?
- We have the main makes of Mizuno, New Balance, Brooks, Saucony, and Pearl Izumi. We do not sell Adidas or Nike shoes. All of our shoes are high quality, technical, specialised running shoes. We do not recommend one shoe over another.
- What is the difference between a neutral shoe and a stability shoe?
- A stability shoe has a section on the inside of the shoe made from a stronger material. This resists the floor when you walk and stops you from rolling in if you are an over-pronator.
- What is your returns policy?
- We recommend that you first try the shoes on a treadmill or wear them around the house for a few days. Any problems then come back into the store. It is very difficult to exchange shoes which have been worn outside, but we always do our best for the customer!
- How long does a pair of shoes last?
- All shoes are designed to stand up to around 500 miles worth of running. This means that depending on how often and how far you run, a pair of shoes will last around 6 - 12 months. It is important to renew your shoes, as they will lose their cushioning and technical function.
- Can I wear my trail shoes on the road?
- Trail shoes and fell shoes are specifically designed for paths, grass or muddy terain. Wearing trail or fell shoes on the road will mean wearing away the tread of the shoe very quickly and is not recommended. If you run on the road, get a road shoe!
- Do you sell gift vouchers?
- Yes! We sell gift vouchers of any quantity, an ideal gift!
