As running shops go this is one of the very best and offers great value for money. If you can…read moreyou'll want to try and buy as much as you can from here at sale times because then the prices plummet and you can pick up some really sensational deals. The shop covers everything you'll need so you will be able to avoid having to visit multiple shops just to buy all you want including a variety of gadgets that whilst not cheap will help you monitor your progress accurately helping you reach and set your targets.

I've only been once to this shop since its move to here, but I have been to Total Football on many…read moreoccasions in its old location. With its move it has become a bit more specialised in kits for teams (if you want a team kit this is the place to go) and has gone a bit more up market, but I'll give a review of how it was and if anything is no more it should be updated. For those fed up with Sports Direct and in need of some expert guidance this may be a more helpful place to visit. It does cover more high end goods here (boots start at about £40), but these are the higher quality boots. In general the stock is reasonably priced, but held back a bit by a lack of range. However, if you tell the staff what you need you're likely to walk out with it after not very long due to the superior knowledge of these staff. Admittedly, I get my boot from Sports Direct, but if its good service you are after you must come here.

This isn't really the place for me (I say looking down longingly) however my friends all have…read morecracking racks so birthday presents to emphasise this is the way forward. Based on the Multrese Walk it does give it a certain exclusivity that I don't think it deserves as really it's just another high street chain but because the bigger the boobs the most luxurious your underwear gets (true fact) then it deserves its place catering for the masses, get it? The staff were helpful if not concerned about my emotional wellbeing and helped me out with some wonderful gift vouchers which my friend said didn't stretch very far (ungrateful cow) but then again, it's a pricey place and I'm a skinflint, luckily I don't have big boobs to support.

Soapbox time: In the US (and maybe elsewhere?), women are unfortunately not given the option to buy…read morebras in correct sizes in stores. The only sizes carried in "typical" stores start at a size 30 band and go up to like a DDD maybe. Most women think they are a 32-36 B, C, or D. In the majority of cases, this is wrong. We are also taught that a "DD cup" is like WHOA THAT'S SO HUGE when it is not. It depends on the band size. Someone can wear, say, a 28FF, and that person looks "normal". An FF is not some insanely huge size--although most women would never imagine they could be an FF--it doesn't even sound like a real size to us!! It sounds outrageous, because that's what we've been taught. Go to the site Brabandproject to see what real bra sizes look like. The earlier review from Eleanor is a *perfect* example of this. She doesn't believe she could be a 28FF and says she'll keep wearing a 32D since that's what she can find in stores. Then she insinuates that Bravissimo has a racket to make women think they need bras they can only find in Bravissimo. I really hope no one takes this to heart. It is very incorrect advice. Look, it's totally messed up that stores don't stock bras in the sizes we need. Unfortunately, women who wear these sizes have to order them online. Don't give up and keep wearing the wrong size because you will only buy a bra you can buy in person in a store. Order online. You'll get used to it. Visit the reddit subreddit "abrathatfits" if you want to read TONS of information about correct bra sizing. /end soapbox Anyway, if you are from the US and happen to be visiting the UK, I urge you to get a bra fitting at a Bravissimo. I went in the morning and was able to meet with someone after just a couple minutes. You go into a fitting room with your staffer and you take off your shirt and they start bringing you bras until you find one that fits. They are experts at knowing what makes for a perfectly fitting bra. The women I worked with was great. (The size I was already wearing wasn't too far off because I'd done my own measuring years ago after studying reddit's /r/abrathatfits.) After we determined the correct size, I shopped a little on my own and picked out another bra. They range in prices, but mine were around...40 pounds, I think. They carry Bravissimo brand and other brands too, like Panache. They also carry swimsuits. The bottom floor of the store has clothing that's made to fit curvy women. Such an amazing idea!! Definitely stop by if you've never had a proper bra fitting!!

I usually only come to this sports shop when there is a sale on and even then the prices aren't…read morequite as good as they should be. In sale time they're not exactly bad, but they are reasonable prices and really what you would expect to pay outside of the sale times with a few items being the exceptions and being very good deals. Outside of sale times there isn't particularly much reason to come here. I know sports direct doesn't offer the same quality of service, but it really is worth the cheaper prices to sacrifice the quality and when it comes to price this shop fails badly compared to Sports Direct. Don't get me wrong this place isn't bad value it's just that there is a lot cheaper just down the road.

We would sit in the middle of route one on the shoe trying-on bit (could someone let me know what the real name for this is, please?) and watch out "boyfriends" try on Vans jumpers and stare longingly at wheels for skateboards. I have no use for it now as I don't try and pick up teenagers that often, but it still makes me happy that it's there.

I used to think Route One was the coolest, most interesting shop in the world. I no longer think…read morethis, but I do still receive their quarterly catalogue through the door from those 14/15 year old days. It's mostly skating apparel, including jeans of all fits, baggy t-shirts, beanies and, of course, hoodies. Hardly any of the styles or brands are my thing at all anymore, but a lot of people of all ages are into it and Route One is a great place to visit to find stuff like this. They also sell all you need to set up a decent skateboard, including good bearings and trucks as well as tool kits to make life easier setting them up. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about this sort stuff so if it's your thing then it's the place to come.

How could I have not yet written a review about this Superdry Store? - Perhaps because in Britain…read morethey do look all the same. Not a bad thing perse, mind. I do like to browse and try on certain new stuff and yes I look good in them, saying so myself. The shop is big. It is in the style of an old barn, dark woods and 'rusty' trinkets all round. The staff is usually aloof or busy doing anything, but bothering you when you're browsing. I like that. What I don't particularly like is their stance on "The Sales" - they just don't do it. At least not in the UK. No bargain section here, my friend. For that you need to go online. So this shop ends up being a massive changing room for their online services. I like the brand and I have tons of their stuff, but 90% of that was bought online or at TK Maxx. Still for being a cool brand and their shop's look and being the biggest changing room ever, I give it 4 stars
