Great Experience ! Recommend
Visited the Didsbury store this morning and the staff are all very friendly, knowledgable and very helpful. Nothing was too much bother for them. Came away with a new pair of HOKA Bondi 9 - very pleased. Would recommend 100%
Excellent service and quality footwear
Excellent service and quality footwear. 1 pair I ordered was out of stock, they quickly let me know and offered a refund, but assured me it would only he 5-7 days and they were right. They also dispatched the other pair immediately. Would highly recommend

One happy customer
So today I visited the store at Alderley Edge and saw Maria. I needed new ‘everything’ following a recent osteoarthritis diagnosis. I had sole implants from the hospital to try out too. Honestly I must’ve tried on 10 pairs of trainers. Her patience and expertise was second to none and I would highly recommend anyone to visit the Running Bear stores for the 1-1 service they provide. It really does feel personal to you, my second visit now and I wouldn’t hesitate to return in the future. I left with hoka slides, hoka trainers and new balance trail trainers. Thanks Maria xx
New Brooks Cascadia…and more!
Today I got lovely new Brooks Cascadia 19 trainers from the @runningbearshop in Nantwich
I also took in my New Balance X860 Road trainers for another check over, they are approaching 1000 miles!! ( yep 1000! ) and other than a replacement internal cushion sole they are still looking good, and I have it confirmed they still have life left in them! 🙌
I also took my New Balance fuel cell trainers with me, I enjoy the bounce and lightweight feel of this trainer for speedy efforts, but due to the dropped heel ( compared to my other trainers ) I felt the pull in my calf, so Zak sorted this out with a small light heel insert that just raises my heel enough to help, but doesn’t alter the sole or mechanics of the shoe….
All these trainers have been purchased from @runningbearshop Nantwich 👏 👏
So, today’s excellent customer service and help consisted of:
1. Guidance and help on a new pair of trainers 😍
2. An Mot on an existing pair of trainers 🙌
3. Plus a solution to help me get the best out of my speedy trainers! ✔️
Outstanding service
Outstanding service from running bears with only 3 day turnaround plus free delivery, plus lot cheaper on Adidas adizero evo sl than any site, definitely use you again 👌

Bought my first pair of running shoes from here on Sunday. They were very helpful helping me decide, we tried a few different brands to make sure I was buying the right ones. I’d recommend here to anyone they are very knowledgeable and willing to spend the time with you explaining the difference between each make and model

Was recommended this store and it did not disappoint, the staff that were on were knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They did my gait and gave me a selection to try that were suited to my needs. Helping me to make an informed choice, as to what trainers I wanted.
Somewhere I will definitely revisit in the future.
Thank you!

Super service
Shoes arrived today, fast delivery. Note inside the box is why you use stores like this, for the personal touch. I will definitely be back 🙂
Excellent, trustworthy company
Bought a pair of women's Asics Gel Nimbus 27 from this company
Communication was excellent, the price was really good and the service was top notch. A handwritten note in the box was a really nice gesture
It was good to support a small, independent business
Would highly recommend and definitely use again
Cool Pants
Being nearly 87 years old and an Honourary Membership to FRA only jogging and fast walking now. My original pants bought from R B. I needed new, so ordered, but wrong when tried on. Returned goods back for replacement Brilliant service no worries at all . But previous experience similar. Highly recommended
Friendly Helpful Knowledgeable Bear Staff, Wide Selection of Top Quality Running Shoes, Clothing, Equipment
Friendly helpful knowledgeable bear staff. I frequently visit my local Nantwich branch to purchase my gym kit and exercise equipment - top advice regarding training shoes etc.
Always look forward to visiting the “Bear and Boost” cafe upstairs, recommend the healthy smoothies but also a great selection of delicious cakes, panini sandwiches etc…
Great Customer Service
I have bought shoes and clothing on different occasions from Running Bear, Nantwich and have always received great service! They have a great range to choose from and I would highly recommend paying them a visit
Amazing Service!!!
I bought Black Brooks Trainers recently. They werent in stock in Alderly Edge where we occasionally visit as a treat. However, the amazing staff offered that they would be able to post these to our home adresss. We wanted these shoes for school wear and wanted them in time for the last day of school so we asked them if they would be in time for Friday last week (18th July) and they said they would be in time. And right they were, we got them in time before the expected time. These shoes are comfortable and wonderful. Amazing overall, and one of the reasons we won't stop coming here!
5 Stars ! *****
Just the best service!
Booked a gait analysis at Nantwich in order to purchase new running shoes and got just the best service! Professional, knowledgeable and friendly. No hard sell, lots of choice and I got the perfect trainers plus a cheeky 10%off in Bear & Boost - absolutely delicious. Can’t recommend enough.
