This place is wonderful. I travelled from the other side of London to come here because of the reviews and it was completely worth it. I've had a fibroma on my foot since April and have been unable to walk without experiencing immense pain. I visited here today and after having a scan of my foot was fitted for a pair of shoes and insoles that have absolutely improved my gait and taken the pressure of my foot when walking. The two gentleman working here were absolutely lovely and very patient. I'd highly recommend visiting here.

Went to Sporting Feet for the first time yesterday and was given expert advice from Nishant on trainers for an upcoming half marathon. He was very friendly, patient, took the time to explain my gait analysis results and I am incredibly happy with the trainers and insoles which I purchased. Thank you so much for the exceptional customer service! The shop has lots of different brands available and a great selection of shoes to choose from. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent experience in store. I visited due to concerns around a pair of running trainers previously bought from another store. The team provided me with a free gait analysis, really sound advice and a pair of bespoke insoles to counteract my running injuries. Really knowledgable and trustworthy team. Would absolutely revisit and rely on this company for any future running shoes/gear.

I visited Sporting Feet to purchase my first decent pair of running shoes as I want to start running outdoors this year. I had my gait and posture assessed. I was given a thorough explanation throughout of what this meant. When choosing the type of trainer, I was presented with the range that would best suit me. Overall I was impressed with the level of detail and care that went into the service I received during my visit. I would recommend Sporting Feet, and I will definitely be going back for my replacement trainers.
