from 608 reviewsIt was a pleasure to be served by Felix. He’s knowledgeable about what type of shoes are right for my type of feet and body posture

Wonderful staff, knowledgeable and kind. Great product range

Asics Gel-Cumulus 27 Women's - Cream/Edo Purple

I popped into The Sweat Shop a few weeks ago to have the gait test done. I left there with so much information! When I went back I knew exactly what takkies I wanted. Again, I had the best experience. I was given the opportunity again to test between two pairs. But I left with the pair I had my eye on. I have now run in it thrice since purchasing and I have had no trouble getting used to it. Thank you to the very knowledgeable team.

Staff were patient, kind and very knowledgeable. Wonderful experience

New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro V9 Men's -Dark Alpine Green
Bought these a few weeks ago - very comfortable and supportive, and love the heel rocker motion as it reduces achilles pressure

I love Asics running shoes and purchased these specifically for gym purposes. They are really working out well, comfortable and doing a very good job. I am totally happy with them and have grown to like the colour as well. I hope that they will continue to be robust enough for the tough sessions I put them through.

The Sweat Shop provides personalised service that includes a diagnostic consultation to identify the perfect running shoe for your foot and running style. For years ive been choosing running shoes based on specs that have no relevance to my personal needs. This is the first time I have been able to leave a sportwear store with a shoe that was made for me. Highly recommend!
I appreciated the thorough service and the positive support

excellent service, friendly staff you can leave all your money because of the service I receive, at once i thought I need to pay extra just for the service.

Service was excellent and quick turn around. I was also called for updates. Thank you.

Gels worked will, will be back for some more, thanks guys
