Shop Reviews

We thought it may be useful to review shops where you can purchase running goods around the UK and online.  To keep things easy the reviews should have the same format:

Name (The name of the Store)
Location The address, Online Only or Chain Store
Online Presence (Yes or No)
Where on the 'sports shop' map? One of the following categories:

• Chaville Row Sports shops whose primary stock is 'fashion' sportswear, and whose tracksuits will probably never see a track.
• Intention Ally A sports shop that sells sporting equipment, with little or no fashion clothing.
• Fleet Street A dedicated running shop, or a shop that deals with mainly running goods.

Staff Knowledge One of the following categories:

• "You want fries with that?" The staff have a normal retail knowledge about the goods in their store but does not demonstrate consistent knowledge of sports/running equipment.
• "You want this kind of thing." Staff have a good general knowledge of sports/running goods and can match a product to average needs.
• "Holly and phoenix feather, eleven inches, nice and supple." High level of staff knowledge, and frequently offers an individual tailored service.

Gait Analysis? Full check, Advice only or None.
Review A brief 2 or 3 paragraph description of a shopping experience.
And finally a one or two sentence summary, or advice such as "Ask for Tony" or "Don't mention Air Max trainers"

We are more than happy to accept reviews emailed to TweetFeetUK@Gmail.Com ... however to prevent sport shops  submitting reviews of their own businesses if we don't know you we may wait until we have two or three reviews to publish.  We may also combine reviews to give a more rounded picture.
