Knowledgeable and friendly staff

The assistant was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable, advising me concerning training shoes. I had been unable to find trainers that were comfortable and her advice and suggestions found me the perfect fit. She had lots of patience!

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff

I went into the Bakewell store, not sure what I was looking for in a new trail shoe. I am a walker rather than a runner and walk in shoes rather than boots for reasons of comfort. I didn't want a waterproof shoe, so both of these reasons now rule out my preferred Roclite. So I needed to try something on and in the various fit options. The two ladies working on the day were run off their feet. It was busy, but I never felt rushed. Their help was great; shoes were brought and taken away with no rush or stress on anyone's part, until I settled on my choice, a pair of Trailtalon Speed in a wide fit, which I wouldn't have arrived at online.
I can't thank the staff in Bakewell for their time and help.
Thank you.

Massive disappointment

I brought the new Zero drop shoe expecting the same experience as I have had with the 270 Trailflys. I was told these were the successors and just as good. After running only 94km in these shoes, I can no longer use them. They are like new, yet cause me the most pain I have ever had in a running shoe. Why do companies mess with an already winning combination? These unfortunately are now retired, I can even wear them to the gym. What a waste of £100+ Do not buy expecting them to be anything like their predecessors. So sad! Looks like I will have to move away from innov8.

Just wandered in to the shop in Bakewell to browse.
The trainers / shoes looked fabulous, nicely arranged & waiting to be tried on.
A lovely assistant just asked if i needed any advice or help. She wasn't pushy, just really nice.
I told her about my knee issue, she asked a few questions and she suggested trying the Roadfly max at a size larger than i usually take & why.
The trainers were brought out and i was able to try them & walk around at my leisure.
They felt so great & i didn't want to take them off - so i bought them.
Very helpful staff, lovely trainer.

Fantastic service, staff really helpful and knowledgeable. Nothing too much trouble and ensured I walked out the store 100% happy.
