    This is my old haunt for running gear...and one I will return to whenever I'm in Cork…read more The shop doesn't really look like it's going to have much in it. It's not huge. It's not all shiny and fancy...but outward appearances are totally deceiving! Inside you will find pretty much everything you could want for running and a lot of triathlon gear too. John Buckley himself (former elite runner) is often there and is always friendly. Staff are enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and you never feel rushed. They take a look at your feet for arch height etc before fitting shoes and will have a chat about injuries etc in coming up with recommendations. If they don't have something in stock, they'll order it. So obliging! Lots of lovely running clothes are available...too many in fact. I think I may have paid for at least part of John Buckley's car! They have a variety of socks and running accessories (belts, watches, heart rate monitors, Nike+), as well as energy bars and drinks. They also stock wetsuits for the triathletes out there. Most people end up with their discount/membership card which earns a 10% discount on purchases. In my world that means I buy an extra top or two each time. Because they're such a bargain! (Female logic....) The shop also sponsors an annual 5K race and various staff members can be spotted at road races around the place during the year. I love this place. Looking forward to next trip home. Until then I'll have to satisfy myself with their mail-order service on www.johnbuckleysports.com :-)

    Running can be tricky when you're starting out. You think you need just a pair of trainers, some…read moreshorts and a tatty t-shirt. Then you wake up one morning and your legs don't work. If only you'd gone to a place like Buckley's. Since it was founded in 1432 (roughly), it's been helping the runners in Cork get the right gear for their habit. They've an excellent choice of shoes and clothes. They tend to stock accessories that you'll actually use, and not just whatever is on trend. The staff are amazing, they really know their stuff and are really friendly too. Oh, and there's the 10% discount, which they'll insist you take. Fair enough...
