Im looking at buying some new trainers but which websites would anyone recommend ? Ive had a look on Reebok, Nike and Adidas sites and they are expensive (not all are expensive and have found a few pairs that are reasonable, just wondered if any other sites I could look at ) and rightly so.

    Trainers for fashion or trainer for running/ other sports? This company is good, they are often shifting last years models cheaper. I have new clients get a gait analysis and fitted for shoes if they intend to run or power walk much, they tend to spend £30+, I spend £50+ but am a professional so need better ones.

    I had my gait analysis done by them 20 years ago Fire Fox.
    I was sold a pair of neutral NB shoes, I now only ever buy my shoes online.
    Always the same maker NB and the same width I have never had a blister from any pair,or had any other problems. :j

    I've used rubbersole a couple of times. There tends to be a discount code advertised on there for if you buy 2 pairs and I think they do free delivery/returns.
    Many thanks to everyone who posts competitions and works so hard to provide all the answers!

    Sweatshop are also worth a look- although I think they were recently bought by SportsDirect so not sure on how they work since.

    I can see you had a gait-check done 20 years ago- please don't forget that things can and do change -my gait changed in just over 2 years so it's wise to get things checked again just to be sure. If your running with minimal or barefoot type trainers that's one thing, but if your wearing the wedged-foam sort then making sure the foam isn't messing with the way your feet run is just being sensible. It rarely costs anything and if it does, there are many other stores who will offer it for free.
