    Hi Lads, I'm looking for a specialised running store in Galway city - I want to get someone a voucher for xmas. Google seems to be pointing me in the direction of http://mile20.ie/

    Anyone any experience of them? Anywhere else I should consider?

    Thanks,
    Muppet Man

    I was looking for one in Galway myself and they are far and few between. That store looks decent enough though. Must check it out. Small selection in elverys and the likes and sizes are a prob when you're a 14 foot.

    Amphibian King in Oranmore come highly recommended. Ring in advance to make an appointment as they will spend 45 mins to an hour doing gait analysis and sorting out the right runner for you

    Going with vouchers is taking a risk in the current economic climate

    Nigel's were recommending them to me, they do some really cool runners for triathlon. If you like using a particular brand then you may have trouble. I like using Nike Structure runners (personal choice) but this shop dont do Nike. What does the person want to buy ?

    He is now where Nigel's used to be some possibly some link. From their website I notice they dont do wetsuits. Their stock is limited/specialized - is this a problem

    Ever try John Buckley sports in Cork, they are a running specialist shop

    We have sizes available up to UK 16 and usually have a decent selection in the sizes from UK13 in the range of supportive and neutral shoes. If there is a particular shoe you are fond of it can be ordered in within a week or so.

    Amphibian King in Oranmore, I did a spying session :D in there before I opened my own shop and felt that it was as good as you're going to get. Good advice given by people who run. Kind of like my own gaff ;)
