I’ve been meaning to put this review up since May; better late than never, I suppose - I hope it helps readers.
Whilst training for an ultra trail run 🏃🏾♂️ I was trying to find the best shoes “for me”, after a Nike Pegasus and a Hoka, I decided enough; I needed professional help and professional service I founded here.
They were so knowledgeable; they even alerted me that the (curious) fact that I had a bigger foot, I had no idea after 35yrs.
In the end, the Salomon Sense Rider 4 were the right shoes for me, maybe even perfect.
Lastly, I was about to spend more on running

I can't recommend these guys highly enough. I've been running for a few years now, and their expertise is second to none. They were so helpful, that they even sent me to a different running shop as they didn't have the shoes in stock that they thought suited me best. I'll definitely be going back when I need some other gear.

GREAT SERVICE! I've been doing all my running purchases in this shop and will continue to do so. They have the best products but, most of all, give the best advice tailored to your specific case. The customer relationship is spot on. One example: one of the products had suffered a quality defect not long after the purchase and they did not hesitate to replace it for free with the newer model.

Fantastic customer service. I bought a pair of shoes online which turned out to be faulty. David from The Running Works submitted a warranty request to the manufacturer and then refunded my shoes promptly. Great communication and much better service than you expect from an online purchase. Highly recommended. Thank you :-)

The best place in London for runners to shop. David was an absolute legend, approachable, patient and literally a bible of knowledge for runners (thank you very much for all your help yesterday!). Good variety of products, both shoes and apparel of my favourite brands (On-running, Under Armour and Brooks). Sizes were all available to pick up the same day. Won't be going anywhere else and will be taking the missus there too!

I’m amazed. Been looking for some new Brooks Ghosts to replace my old ones. Found Running works on Facebook and decided to give them a try as the price was cheaper than the running shops in my area and from… Brooks direct. Was abit reluctant being up in Hull and ordering from a shop in London but so glad that I did. Ordered them just after 2pm on Friday and they got delivered at 2pm the next day. Next time I’m down in London I will be making sure I come into the shop. Thank you again. 👍🏃

I had a gait analysis where I live in the south west and the brooks 21 seemed the best running shoe for me. I love to feel I have got a bargain and save a little money so I searched online finding that the running works sells online and was £16 cheaper! I am always worried when buying from somewhere I’ve not heard of before but saw it was a legit… shop in London and had good reviews. So I took the plunge and ordered yesterday. And to my shock they arrived today!!! Less than 24 hours later. Free postage. Absolutely amazing service. Definitely a shop I’ll go to for future

Ordered running shoes online, had a problem with the order, spoke to the Manager, David, he discussed my requirements with me, advised in terms of the best trainer for stability I need due to recurring ankle injury and had replacement trainers out to me the same day. Brilliant service, good knowledge around the products, and the trainers recommended have been brilliant for me. Super impressed and will definitely order from here again! Fab that you can order online but still get such a personal service.

The whole process from the gait analysis to the buying of the shoes. the knowledge of the staff is easy to understand and informative without the snobbery that I've experienced before. Nothing is rushed and certainly no pressure applied to the customer regarding choice of shoe (I had four pairs out today). Will certainly be going back.
