Went into the shop today to get some new running trainers and trainers for work. I was served by Elaine and she was amazing! She was so knowledgeable but also super approachable and kind. I was kinda nervous about doing a gait analysis because I’m still fairly new into my running journey but she made me feel totally at ease and was non judgemental and gave me so much time and attention. Thank you so much Elaine!!!

Popped in a few months ago just to chat with them about knee pain i’d been experiencing whilst running, they immediately realised it was down to my shoes being too small as well as far too worn down. I can’t remember her name but a lovely girl helped me with gait analysis and let me try on probably about 10 different pairs of shoes, she helped me for an hour with complete patience whilst I was deciding. I’ve now been consistently running a few times a week for a few months and have experience no discomfort at all! Thank you 🙂

Could not recommend this shop enough! I went there today I hopes of walking in and getting my first pair of running trainers. I had no clue about what I wanted but the staff analysed my run on the treadmill and provided me with some great advice on what shoes I should try on, they also provide a treadmill to test out the feel and performance of each trainer. Excellent customer service! I walked away extremely happy with my purchase as I now have a pair of trainers that feel super comfortable and responsive! Definitely recommend:)

I visited Derby Runner for some help and advice after starting running again. I was running in some trainers which weren’t right for me, resulting in some nasty blisters. Rob immediately diagnosed the problem and brought me a selection of trainers to try.I didn’t initially visit Derby Runner but purchased the first trainers in a different high Street store as I thought it would be intimidating visiting a “running shop”. How wrong I was, Rob listened carefully to my problems and looked at me running on the treadmill. I left Derby Runner with new trainers which do not give me blisters and are so comfortable to run in. My running distances have more than doubled and speed is a bit faster too.All in all, do not hesitate or feel intimidated at visiting, Derby Runner, the staff are really helpful and friendly and it was a thoroughly good experience which ended up with me having great new trainers.Thanks Rob and Derby Runner.Dawn

Really extensive knowledge, kind service amazing deals, great range of running shoes for any occasion. Honestly one of the best retail experiences I’ve had. The major flagship stores in London should take note! If I could give more stars I would. Such lovely staff!

I came here on the 12th January 2023 to get my first pair of proper running shoes, as my old trainers (air force ones) had begun wreaking heavy damage on my toenails.The staff were helpful, knowledgeable, relaxed, not judgemental at all. They allowed me to run on a treadmill and analysed my running gait - this service is free if you buy a pair of trainers, otherwise is £20.After that I was recommended a selection of different shoes, which I was able to try on and test out on the treadmill. All the trainers were great, and in the end I went with a pair of "Altra Torin 5 Mens Running Shoes" in Blue (picture provided)Big thank you to the two staff members who served me, Jude, and his manager, whose name I didn't catch, but who was also friendly and professional.I strongly recommend this place if you need a pair of running shoes, especially a first pair, and need some guidance, whichI certainly did.10 out of 10.

Having signed up for my first marathon, I’ve been training for a couple of months now. After struggling with knee pain and then ankle pain, I thought I would try the Derby Runner for some assistance with picking a new pair of trainers. Carolyn was so helpful and knowledgable. She was very patient and knew straight away which trainers would be most suitable to offer me more support. She allowed me to try on several different pairs as she wanted to make sure I picked the right pair for me. She provided great advice and knows what she is talking about. She is also clearly very passionate about running and helping others with running.The shop itself has a great selection of trainers and other running equipment. It’s a great shop and I’ll definitely be recommending it to people. Thank you 😊

Came into the store today after reading the excellent reviews to get my daughter and myself a pair of running trainers. After Chris and Lauren had completed an analysis on us so that we recieved the correct type of trainers for our gait etc. All I can say is the service was absoutely brilliant and very proffesional from start to finish and they are very competitively priced too. So we also ended up not only buying trainers each but brought some running wear too. Would highly recommend this store for all your running needs.

Exemplary service as usual from The Derby Runner. Ordered some trainers online and tried them in indoors at home, wasn't convinced by the fit, so brought them into the store to try out on their treadmill. Still wasn't sure, so tried on about 5 or 6 alternatives, none of which were quite right, so returned the trainers for a refund with no quibbles - money was back in my account the next day. Will definitely be back when I work out what I need.

Having had surgery on pretty nasty ankle injury, I wanted some advice on casual footwear that might help to get back walking again. I was met by a very friendly gentleman who gave me some great advice and recommendations and an even bigger bonus of a discount off the trainers that I bought.100% recommended - fantastic service thank you!

So friendly and not pushy and feel genuinely that they want to find for the best running shoes and to understand my requirements and feet issues. Hehe Found them with a nice display at the Derbion Ramathon after my half maratjon and we went across to their lovely shop just out of town. Tried 4 pairs before deciding. Thanks

I needed a pair of trainers, post fractured ankle but still recovering. Lauren who served me was delightful and patient. Lauren listened to my circumstances and what I was looking for, namely a stable and supportive footwear. I was given the opportunity to try on about 8 pairs and found, with her knowledge and help, the right pair for me. Eventually, one pair stood out to provide the support I need and that fitted me perfectly.I am not a runner and never will be, but I know how such a store with the expert staff with vast experience would be able to find the best suited pair of trainers for me in my recovery and beyond.The shop is well laid out with plenty of room to negotiate with a pair of crutches. Whilst browsing I also found a bargain TriDri short with The Derby Runner logo on it. I am more than happy to wear this top and advertise the store.I would highly recommend The Derby Runner to all whether a runner or not. You simply can't go wrong there.

Went in to get myself a new pair of running shoes as my previous ones had finally given up on me (also purchased from The Derby Runner, many many years ago). All the staff were very welcoming and pleasant. The lady who helped me try on at least 10 pairs was very patient and kept going until we found the right pair, shout out to her. Didn’t catch her name as she had to dash off to staff training but thank you for your fantastic service. Can’t wait to get out in my new running shoes!
