Great shop for anyone who enjoys the sport/challenge of running. It has... fantastic staff, who are friendly and professional. The array of trainers for all types of running- road, cross-country, etc, are available for you to try on & have a test run on the treadmill, which is located in the store. On this, the staff are able to inform you of your gait/run style, which trainers are best suited to you. Other running gear and equipment are also available in store. Well worth a visit if running is your sport.read more

I recently went for a gait analysis, very helpful staff member (sorry I didn’t... catch your name) guided me through the process. He was honest enough not to push a new pair of shoes on to me, rather saying my injuries were not due to the shoes I had rather intensity. Honest and fair service for £20, with a £20 voucher.Thanks again.read more

Been and had Gait Analysis done this morning as wanted new trainers for my C25K... training.
Shaun explained what was involved and took me through the treadmill process. He took time to explain what he was looking at in the playback videos and the differences between the trainers. I was a touch nervous when I arrived as wasn't sure what to expect , but he put me at ease and I've purchased a new pair of stability trainers which will hopefully make the world of difference to my training.
Will definitely visit again. Thanksread more

Visited the shop last week after having pain in my feet when running long... distance. The guys put me on the treadmill and analysed my run and straight away identified the issue.

I went to the Sutton Runner for advice as I was suffering with really bad foot... pain during and after my Glow Fitness classes ( high impact, high intensity dance/work out class) They told me the trainers I'd been wearing were just not suited to my feet and so they fitted me correctly with a new pair of trainers to give me extra width, support and cushioning. This week I had absolutely no pain at all during the class! My instructor even commented that she could really tell they were working and I that wasn't feeling any pain because I was putting more energy into the workout, so THANK YOU 👍read more

Sutton Runner was recommended to me as I have a foot injury following surgery... that is aggravated every time I try to exercise. I met Dave today who analysed my foot when running on the machine and took into account my post surgery issues...and then found me 2 perfect pairs of trainers! I’ve never felt so comfortable in trainers and Dave was helpful and patient in getting the right ones.. he made me feel completely at ease and my husband ended up getting a pair too! Thanks for help... we will definitely made the trip again to see u!read more

This is such a brilliant local shop, who are one of the few to stock netball... trainers!
So if you play netball in the local area, give them a go. They will also try and match Netball UK website. At least you can try before you buy, and the guys are really helpful. Also if you see a trainer on Netball Uk (Asics) , that they don't have, they may be able to get for you, as they did with me last year.. They also gave me discount on already a sale price of blue Asics Ballistic trainers. Also stocking the new Mizuno netball trainers worn by Super League players. Great Service/ Thank you, Jan Curleyread more
