Wow what a great find - can't believe that no-one has written this place up yet…read more First, great attentive & knowledgeable staff - so that's a good start...then they take a serious approach to finding out exactly what you want and why & how you are going to use it...finally they actually are carrying the stock! I went in for some cushioned trainers, size 12 D...they looked at the feet, I walked on a treadmill and was filmed...they then produced 3 pairs my size by different makers (& they had others!) Totally recommend this place - go and take a look!

Oh. My. Lord. I…read morepopped into Size? this afternoon to look for a new pair of Converse and ended up falling in love with the most bling pair of silver Adidas hi-tops. I'm not talking matt or gloss silver either, I'm talking thousands of silver sequins painstakingly stitched into two sneaker-size glitterballs. I would have bought them too, only my rap skills are zero. Maybe I'll twitter Jay-Z and Kanye and see if either of them want a pair. Seriously, these sneakers belong on stage. :-)

I used to be a fan of Size? back in the day - now, not so much…read more They don't seem to offer anything DIFFERENT - and I am something of a sneaker connoisseur, I like my feet to stand out from the crowd. Actually, maybe I am being a little harsh, it's just the BRIGHTON branch of Size? That doesn't seem to have a lot going for it any more. I haven't bought a pair of trainers from there in years, the last time I did spot a pair that I wanted to buy, they didn't have my size. The Size? On Carnaby Street in London is pretty cool. I will make sure I review it next time I'm there.

I stumbled across this place a few years back, and ended up buying myself a pair of Adidas trainers…read more(when I'd actually popped out to buy myself some onions from the grocers). I guess it was one of those whim purchases but consequently I've ended using them a lot because they're so comfortable. The staff in here are very knowledgable and can suggest different styles of running trainers/clothes depending on your foot shape, type of exercise and fitness level. They'll even make you run around and look at your current shoe soles to understand how your body and feet carry your weight. This can be invaluable when you have no clue deciding whether you should buy a cross trainer or dedicated running shoe. Brands include Adidas, Asics, Brooks, GORE, Nike, Odlo, Pearl Izumi, RONO, Saucony and Thorlo.

This is everything that I dislike in shops; you walk in and there are a handful of clothing rails,…read morebut the majority of the store is just empty. Everything is a bit too cool, the shop is empty and 'minimalist', the staff aren't friendly in anyway. The clothes on offer are ok, but they cost about three times what they should. It all just distracts from the supposed purpose of being an athletics store. The shop is apparently run by experienced athletes, so the advice you get will be good, I didn't stick around though, the whole place put me off.

I'm not usually prone to depression but the idea of working or shopping in Shoe Zone is enough to…read moremake me feel close to the edge. The bright orange and blue branding gives me a headache and the racks and racks of bad shoes, boots and slippers crank it up a notch. All the footwear here seems to start about £4.99 and go up to around £24.99 with the emphasis being on plastic looking slip on brogues, lace up shoes, work shoes, trainers and boots. Some look less offensive than others but none look well made or long lasting. They also have a whole aisle of ugg boots - which just cements my dislike of the place.

Another branch of the bargain shoe store, selling a vast range of cut price shoes, boots, sandals…read moreand trainers, all stupidly cheap albeit sometimes at stupid quality. I've always shopped in Shoe Zone as it's so cheap, but have been stung a couple of times by the poor quality. A pair of boots I'd worn into the ground finally decided to give up the ghost in the middle of town as the zip broke, rendering them unwearable, and a pair of nice wedge pumps I bought for work lasted an impressive four weeks until the heel literally cracked in half all the way up to the sole. Nevertheless, what you see is what you get with any bargain shoe store, and nine times out of ten they last long enough. The staff are always very friendly and happy to help, and ask no questions if you need a refund or exchange. I didn't have my receipt for my work shoes but they happily let me pick another pair (I went for the rubber heeled wedges instead of the plastic ones this time), and they're still alive today.

Really appreciated the friendly service in this shop, and liked their selection…read more When it turned out that we wanted something that they didn't have (it was unseasonal stock), the sales assistant simply wrote down where we could find it. I think that's very kind. We will go back, definitely.

A family run business that really puts their heart into it. Not intimidating in the slightest and…read morethey won't pounce on you either (I hate that, especially in a sport shop)! Customer service is obviously at the fore front and they will go the extra mile. You feel as if you are getting advice from a good friend as opposed to a sales person. They have an array of sport offerings but particularly specialise in cricket, tennis, rugby and fitness. The items and clothing that they stock is of top performance but also looks really good. In particular I have purchased some great running gear that performs well, is comfortable and is well styled. They have a great eye for product. They are an exciting addition to the Hove and Brighton community. I am all for championing good local retailers such as Nick Rivett Sport.

This branch of the French-Canadian shoe shop chain is situated in the Churchill Shopping centre,…read moreand sells both men's and women's ranges. The shoes are generally Italian in influence (and most seem to be made there), with emphasis on stylish fashion - current trends include lots of elongated, narrow and pointed toes, together with some subtler versions, and a wide range of boots (for both men and women). They are a little pricey for a High Street chain, but have reasonable sales - typically with 30% to 50% off. They often have selected reduced lines which are worth a look. Staff in this branch seemed friendly and helpful, without being pushy.

It's very strange when you go past a shop almost on a regular basis but never even really give it…read moretwo looks, then go in, and realise it's really damn good. That's exactly what I did today. I was on the search for a good quality Snowboard kinda jacket, water and wind proof, durable and warm. I had been all over Brighton looking for one of these, and couldn't quite find one that met my specific requirements, which were so specific that I don't think even I knew them. All of this ended though walking into Surf and Ski. The range of proper old person practical skiing gear, as well as cool, fashionable snowboarding stuff is really quality and varied. Bonfire, The North Face and Icepeak are among the labels that I spotted, and whether your looking for something quite garish, or simple, expensive or cheap(er), I could not recommend this place enough. The lady who owns the shop is a really sweet woman, who really helped me out in a genuine and kind way, spending a lot of time with me, explaining the coat I was looking at in great detail, from the little inside pockets, to how they make the lining. She really knew her stuff, and was, as she said a 'Ski Nut'. There is also Hardware upstairs for skiing and snowboarding, for those who can and do,actually use it.

This surf and ski shop looks like it's made of snow, you can't miss it. I recently got into skiing…read moreso now every time I pass one of these stores I can't help but look inside and this one, set over two levels, has a large inventory of every kind of equipment you could need. This includes my favourite ski brand K2, and some really gorgeous ski suits (I really need to update in this department, my snowboarding brother refuses to be seen on the mountain with me). That being said, the only thing I've bought in here is a North Face rucksack. In fact, their whole camping and outdoors section of the shop is definitely worth a visit if you don't frequent the piste and the staff are extremely helpful if you don't know what you're looking for.
