Good trainers at a great price and delivery was perfect…

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.
Brooks caldera 6,womans size 9.
Next time i will either go for same but in mens or a half size bigger as my toe on right foot was a bit sore after a 10 mile off road run yesterday.
Thank you.

Very quick to dispatch order and for it to arrive. The order was as requested, and the running leggings (Ronhill) are good quality and in good condition. I would order again from this site

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.
