Southampton Orienteering Club

Just returned from Just Run in Eastleigh this morning after buying a new pair of trail running shoes. Peter Staunton, the proprietor, provides an excellent service. He took the trouble to check my gait, standing, walking and jogging then asked specific questions about my overall fitness, running ambitions, etc. After this he brought two pairs of shoes for me to try on. The first felt very comfortable but didn't have the right level of support around my heel. The second pair, Brookes Cascadia, were perfect - they provided just the right amount of support and felt very stable. Peter then let me run up and down the precinct to test them whilst running. Needless to say I bought them. I've never had such good service in a shop and would thoroughly recommend Just Run. They're based just outside the Swan Centre in Eastleigh and are open 7 days a week (Sundays 11.30 - 3.30pm as well).

I feel that it's very important to support our local small shops in these difficult times - they really do offer a better service than the big chains. If you're looking for some new running shoes, then I'd recommend that you give Just Run a try. You could even try asking for a discount as a member of SOC.
