absolutely terrible experience, went in for a gait analysis (on Sunday 13-12-25 @10:30 am) and some…read moreshoes, I was put on a treadmill for 15 seconds, told everything was fine with my gait and then told they had no shoes in my size (woman's size 6) but I would still have to pay £30. Terrible customer service and bad attitude from the member of staff on duty, I was even advised to go to sports direct for shoes, i tried getting in touch to complain but they cannot be reached by phone or email. I went somewhere else in the end that did a fantastic job, so do not waste your time with this shop.

I don't really know why this company decided to call themselves 'Natterjack'. Seeing as they…read morespecialise in running gear and footwear, I don't really see what use natterjack toads would get from any of this, seeing as they neither run nor wear clothes. Now, if they sold hopping footwear then that'd be another thing all together, but they don't. Name issues aside, Natterjack is a useful place to go if you're looking for specialist advice and equipment related to running. At Natterjack, they sell a good selection of running shoes in a variety of makes, colours and sizes, ensuring you should be able to find a shoe to fit easily. Their staff can also offer you advice on the best footwear for your feet, enabling you to wear the correct footwear for your foot shape. They also sell running clothing and accessories, including drinking bottles, hi-vis safety wear and injury supports, enabling you to be fully kitted out for any activity. Their prices might not be as cheap as some local sports shops, but if you're after some specialist advice and gear then Natterjack is worth checking out.

CS^2 (that is CS Squared) is a sportswear shop in St. Johns Precinct which offers a wide variety of…read morefamous brands such as Reebok, Adidas and Kickers. This shop will obviously suit you if you are a fan of branded fashion clothing, all of which are up-to-date and trendy in style. They sell everything from tracksuits to trainers and jogging wear. Prices are quite reasonable throughout and there are often special offers such as (currently) two pairs of jeans for £15.

Unless you are a skating enthusiast this indie store will probably remain lost to you - no pun…read moreintended, but it will probably remain that way unless the bridge between bold st and renshaw is re-opened - but then that's generally the way people dedicated to a scene like to keep it. The guys here, situated underneath a tattoo parlour, are clearly dedicated as you will more then likely come across them testing out and mucking about with the latest boards they have in stock and they have a good range to choose from. To go with the boards are the obligatory threads and trabs including the names such as Etnies, Vans and Emerica as well as plenty of hi-top Nikes familiar to those in on this scene. Their dedication to the style and art of this scene is shown clearly in the shop boardings which even when the shop is closed displays a striking grafitti mural.

Lost Art which is situated just below doctor feelgood tattoos and just off Bold street was a great…read morelittle find for someone who used to be a skating enthusiast. The shop reminds me of a similar establishment in Birmingham, both run independently by people who love what they do. This is the sense you get from the staff in Lost Art that they really adore skating and want to encourage you to feel the same way as them it is a kind of skate or die attitude. As well as this the value in the shop is fantastic I bought a limited edition pair of Nike SB's for a fraction of their retail price and there are often other such gems to be found within. There are numerous jumpers , tees, trainers and boards all within the small shop area and all at great prices. Local skaters are often inside just chatting away or skating just outside the shop and this is the spirit of the place people together with a shared love. If you enjoy skating and want a good bargain then check it out I guarantee you'll find something that you like, I did.
