Achilles Heel Running Store - Glasgow

Hamnah Asif

Came into the store last minute because it was my first day of work and needed a good pair of shoes that were comfortable, good quality and supportive.
Staff were great and took time to help me pick what was right for me as I also wanted to use these shoes when I’d be on placement.
These are now my favourite shoes to wear.
Great customer service, lovely small shop with a range of options, will definitely be coming here again.

Fantastic store with great service, and they stock a wide selection!

I went in as someone new to running. I forgot the name of the guy who helped me, but he was really gracious. He helped me out with a suggestion for an app to get me going, and explained a lot about the shoes, such as the general shape, heel drop, etc. He evaluated my walk, then helped me out with trying on a few different brands, and explained the heel lock lacing method, which he did for me on the pair of shoes I ultimately purchased.

I have tiny feet (size 6), and usually end up buying women's shoes because nobody stocks men's shoes in my size. I told him that, but he was unfazed and brought out a selection of men's shoes in sizes that actually fit my feet!

I'm very happy with the shoes I ended up with, and I've been using them over the last week and a half. My feet feel great in them, and I'm enjoying getting started on running! I'm so grateful for the help I received at the store, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new pair of shoes, whether they're beginners or seasoned runners.

Great store and great advice.
The physio Kirsty sorted out my leg issue, within 1 visit.
I had gone to another physio 3 times for the same issue. They couldn't pin point it. I was off training for nearly 8 weeks. 1 appointment with Kirsty and I was running within 1 week.

Also recently purchased my new trainers, even though the store was ridiculously busy, I still felt looked after. Keep up the great work.

Special mention to Camy (hopefully I’ve spelt that correctly!).

I phoned the store today, for some advice. I spoke with Camy and I was immediately put at ease, and knew I was in the right hands!

I then visited the store, to try on some different shoes, was able to run on the treadmill to ensure they suited me!

Overall, very happy with the experience and my purchase! Will be back!

I had a great experience at AH. James asked lots of questions to understand what I wanted and was really patient and attentive. After we discovered a tricky issue to overcome he brought out loads of pairs to try until we eventually found something that worked. Great knowledge and never felt like I was being pushed. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite stores in Glasgow. All the employees and the owner are great. Low-pressure sales experience too. Will be returning for my next pair.

I purchased Brooks Ghost 11s a number of years ago. Best shoes I e ever owned.

They helped me do the 23 miles and I only had one blister.

So hence, when looking for new shoes as they did sadly die on Kiltwalk.. right back to Achilles heel I go.

New shoes in the bag, let the training for year 2 commence!!

Kian (hopefully spelt correctly) was great at listening to what I needed and was helpful in picking the right shoes for me. Would definitely recommend here if you’re a bit unsure of what shoes to go for - whether it’s your first time running, experienced or coming back from an injury like me. Cheers!
