Great Portland Street Store
Great Portland Street is one of our top stores featuring Gait Analysis and trained staff who are keen runners. We have a complete range of products. So that we can provide the high level of service that we pride ourselves on, a shoe fitting (including gait analysis assessment) will usually take between 15 and 30 minutes.
So why not pay us a visit? We'd love to meet you - whether you're a seasoned marathon runner or a complete beginner.
