If you must shop in Leeds then I've had good service in the past at Up
& Running on Otley Road but I'd have thought they would be round the
£75 mark give or take a tenner. Which I think is fair enough for the
type of outlet they are.


I came back to running a year ago after about 12 years not running as a result of Achilles tendon trouble. I went to the Up & Running branch in York, as I happened to be there for work for a week. I was very impressed with the care they took to try and fit me up with the right shoes, watching my gait, etc. I paid about £80, but I consider that well worth it - after you've got some decent shoes you don't have to spend a great deal more to run, do you? (Compare it with paying regularly to visit a gym or a swimming pool for instance.) So if the Leeds branch is as good as the York one I'd recommend Up & Running.
