A great pair of trail shoes for a great price and above all good delivery.
You said 3 working days but possibly longer due to busy January sales but my order came the day after!
Fantastic service.
Will definitely come again.

A mistake was made with my order
A mistake was made with my order, which ment they did not have my shoe in stock. They offered me an upgrade to my shoe and dispatched it ASAP with a complimentary pair of socks. Also they had the most competitive price with free delivery.
