Does anyone know of a good shop to buy running shoes in London??

I'm training for a 5K and I need some good running shoes. I just am not sure the best place to buy them. I'd prefer a shop where the people actually know a bit about running and could recommend a good shoe for me.





I'm not interested in just a cute pair of trainers, these actually have to serve a purpose above fashion.

You could try these:





The Londonmarathon shop (Addidas stuff)


The Nike shop (Nike stuff - surprisingly!)


In Bluewater try HeRunsSheRuns (most brands)(I like this one)





Failing that you could by a copy of say, runners world and in the back there is a store listing - there might be some london ones near you in there
Reply:Harrods excellent sports section don't know what the prices are like though. A good pair of asics can cost you around €150 euro in Ireland seen them on ebay for €100 including delivery.





Asic's are the runners, runner (excuse the English) great cushion in them and they last also. I have a pair of Gel Keyano by Asics and they are excellent lightweight also.
