Absolutely brilliant service- a great little shop, well worth travelling to.
After ordering and returning pair of trainers online from Brooks (didn’t fit, felt ‘wrong’, colour not at all what I expected) I travelled to Oxford to speak to a professional. I couldn’t be more impressed with Aaron -extremely knowledgeable and so helpful.
I bounced out of there with trainers that are comfortable and fit for purpose and with lots of information to apply if I ever have to make an online purchase again.
Really happy with the shoes but given only 3 stars as the delivery service was awful, shoes didn’t come on the day I wanted them as delivery driver said we were out when we weren’t, not sure if they went to the wrong address or just didn’t bother, after several calls to the delivery company I was told they would be re-delivered that day, they never were, arrived the next day, a day late!!

Fantastic service and experience today from Simon at Up & Running in Darlington. This was no ordinary running shop. The level of detail Simon explained to me at every stage from first entering the shop to explaining the shoe selection process then onto the running machine to explain my individual running style and what this meant was incredible. The result was I left the shop confident that the shoes purchased were exactly what I required - 5 stars very impressed!

I visited the Nottingham store. My original intention was to gather information for a purchase at a later date. However, I was so impressed with how Lucy my answered my questions, the advice she gave and the shoes she suggested for trying on that I happily chose some shoes and proceeded with the purchase. Lucy also cheerfully dealt with an OAP who had never used a treadmill before! I highly recommend the Up & Running store and their staff.

Brilliant experience. I headed into store as my “walking trainers” had given up the ghost. I over pronate quite severely so need full support in my trainers, and need guidance when choosing the best ones for my needs. Sue was superb, funny, charming and super helpful. I can’t recommend the Milton Keynes store enough. Thank you so much Sue!

The running shoes I wanted with nearly a third off the list price delivered within a couple of days. Product exactly as described. I will be using Up & Running again for my next pair.

Got an Excellent Gait Analysis! Went to the Sheffield store and was given a great insight into what shoes I need and how I can reduce harm to my joints 5/5

Sallyann helped me with a gait analysis in the Nottingham store today and was excellent. Couldn't have asked for better customer service and was so lovely to chat to about my running journey, what shoes I was looking for and showed me the difference each shoe was making.
Will definitely be back next time I need new shoes!

I went to the Nottingham store and Rob was really helpful, he knew what he was talking about and helped me pick the shoes that was right for me 😀

Had a great experience at the Bristol shop buying my first pair of 'proper' trail running trainers. Yvette was helpful, patient, very knowledgeable and 100% focused on making sure I made the right purchase - there was no hard sell and she even let me use the treadmill to try a pair of trainers I'd ordered elsewhere.
Top customer service from someone who really knows their stuff, will definitely visit again.

Up and Running York. Visited there whilst spending the weekend, popped in and Stephen served me, I asked to analyse my gait and he explained everything to me, he then showed me the best trainers for my running style and explained how each of them would benefit and allowed me to take my time and answered any question I had. Would highly recommend

Went in to the Reading store and was served by Nicholas. Can't fault the service I received, especially as an inexperienced, fairly new runner that is having knee pain when running. I was put on a treadmill for gait analysis and it was clear that my current trainers might not be providing the right support and we went through a few pairs of trainers on the treadmill to find a setup that worked. Nicholas was very knowledgable and helpful. The reason for 4 stars and not 5, is that once we established the right kind of trainer, my choices were limited to 1 pair from the range that was stocked and I found this a bit dissapointing, especially as those trainers weren't really for me aesthetically and I would've liked a choice. I did buy the trainers as peformance is more important than look but even after a discount, I found that I could have saved around 15-20% by walking away and shopping online when I checked the price after getting home. I appreciated the service though and have kept the trainers rather than return them. I used them yesterday for the first time and I ran 5k with little to no pain in my knee, during or after running, and took 3 minutes off my PB so first impressions are good.

I went to up and running at Milton Keynes, I was served employee 32717 Marine. Brilliant service very helpful.

I visited the Reading store today and was blown away by the service I received! The manager Tom was extremely kind and attentive in devoting a huge amount of time to find my perfect Brooks shoe. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the different models, brands and the fitting of the shoe itself. Amazing customer service and depth of knowledge that you don't often find these days. The other members of staff were very friendly and helpful too. I will not go anywhere else now!

Marine at the Milton Keynes store helped with the fitting. Great experience, very patient, knowledgeable, and keen to get the right fitting shoes.
Great staff, and a fantastic setup with the treadmills for the gait analysis.
