Let customers speak for us
from 543 reviewsI have bought my last two pairs of running shoes from The Sweat Shop, and they are great with advice, product offering, and prices. My new Saucony Triumph 23s are super comfortable, I can already feel the difference.

We received excellent service and advice from a young man who knew what he was talking about.

Service is what differentiates Sweat Shop, expert advice

The assistant was knowledgeable and found the shoes I wanted which have been great.

If you know your shoe and you size this is the easiest option. Click of a button to order and quick turnaround.

Nick was really excellent when we went to the business. We had specific requirements from the Orthotist and Nick was very knowledgeable and was able to assist with the shoe options that met the requirements.
He was patient and allowed me enough time to try on the different brands, to make a good decision.

I will always buy my hiking shoes from The Sweat Shop

Thank you for all your staff
For all there good work

Special thanks to Felix who served me. I am very happy with the fit of the Brookes shoes that he recommended.

The service from the sweatshop is always great, so 5 out of 5 for that and no complaints. Unfortunately the lower rating given is because in this instance I've landed up unhappy with the shoe I purchased. I felt unstable in the shoe, on the 4 day hike I've just taken part in and the fabric gives a look of being dirty and trapping dirt very quickly. I've always been an Asics fan, but in this instance I regret my choice!
