Have recently had new orthotics and need to go for a gait analysis to see if they are any good in my current trainers or whether i need different trainers. Is Easy runner in Bristol the best place to go? Has to be Bristol.
I guess you've seen the list of shops in Bristol on the Bristol Running resource website, linky.
I know Moti, Up and Running, and Sweatshop all do gait analysis. I wouldn't know how to judge which one is best though. I would hope they all have well trained qualified staff.
Went to Easy runner and they were brilliant. Would definately go back and just wish they would open a store in Exeter, although saying that a shop is only as good as the staff that is in them.
Cannot agree with you on that one RPP, sorry. A few friends of mine have had bad shoe advice there resulting in injury and their selection of trainers not as good. Lovely people but I do not have the faith in them anymore
Sorry to hear that, but as you have recent experience I'm not in a position to disagree.
Shame really, they are very involved as I said in the region around Exeter. Prices always used to be competitive and the shop is friendly, but if the advice is unsound then it's not of much value is it.

It's certainly one of the best.

Bristol has some really good running shops offering excellent customer service.

Got to go to Up and Running for your shoes guys! Great staff and a former Olympian owns the store! A++
Those, and the Triathlon Shop is also good on shoes.
Agree with Bill, staff are good and former Olympian is a lovely bloke who trained one of our top female athletes.
