Shoe Shops

in Beginners
I'm new at this running lark, but luckily have found 'Runner's World'.The best advice seems to be "buy some good shoes" can anyone recommend a specialist shop where they assess my running 'style'and advise on shoe type. I live to the east of Nottingham, so anywhere within 30 miles would be fine. Thanks

    I was in Nottingham at the weekend, buying running shoes, and I can highly recommend Sweatshop, which is in the Holmes Place fitness centre, near the station.

    Although I am a beginner, I was looked after very well, and in no way patronised. I had the footscan, and tried shoes out on a treadmill.

    I was well pleased with the service.

    Good luck, and let us know how you get on.

    Andrew, Total Fitness in Beeston are very good, as are Up and running in Long Eaton. If you fancy a little further out Derby Runner in Spondon are also very good. I found it a good idea to shop around before buying and ask lots of questions, 'cos there is so much jargon and science attached to running shoes, it can be difficult to make a decision. Hope that's useful

    After some advise on shoes. I run a lot YTD 1130 miles and I am 51. Shoes only last me about 4- 5 weeks as they wear through on the heel. Looking for something that lasts a bit longer. Been using Nike Pegasus 36 3-4 weeks. ASICS gel pulse 11 about 5
