A few years back now 'Braintree shopping village' opened but I only visited the place for the first time last year and since then I have been going back on frequent visits. The place is called 'The Braintree Freeport Designer Village' and has many decent designer stores including 'The Reebok Shop'.
I know for a fact that they're aren't many 'Reebok' shops around in this country, I think there's one in Somerset which I've never visited but living relatively near to Braintree, this NEW 'Reebok Shop' was going to get visited!
The store was pretty big and looked very impressive, everything was set out out nicely with lots of space which was great because I'm not very keen on shops which are all cramped up. The store was set out in the relative sections, there was the clothing section split into further catergories of womens, males and childrens clothing, there was also a footwear section, again stocked for everyone and there is also a surprisingly large section for accessories such as hats and bags etc.
The clothing section took up the most room in the store, with the childrens and womens items nearest the entrance to the store and the male items further away, nearer the back of the store. There was a huge variety of 'Reebok' named clothes which came in nearly every size possible. The best thing was though that all the prices were less than what you'd expect to pay normally. You could buy childrens and teenagers plain T shirts with 'Reebok' printed on the front for around a fiver and then jumpers and jackets that you would usually expect to be around a ridiculous price of £50-£60 that were less than £20!!! These items were for people of all generations and stocked in all sizes.
The footwear section took up quite a lot of room in the store too but was mainly stocked up in the right hand cornor of the store, most of the items of footwear were on display in order of sizes which I liked. You just had to visit the section of your shoe size and choose a pair of shoes. Again the prices were lower which was fab and half sizes were available. You could buy trainers which could either be running trainers or casual trainers, football boots, astro turfs, studded boots or Moulded boots and then 'Reebok' sandals and footwear for the summer. I picked up a pair of Gold and White Reebok classics in size 5 and a half for only £20!!! These trainers are very popular and are usually sold at prices of around £35-£60 in this specific size.~I was very impressed and the trainers have lasted as well, (Check out opinion coming in a few minutes or later on tonight about these specific trainers!!!)
Lastly there was the sports accessories all 'Reebok' named of course, section. This was displayed all around the walls and around the tills and paying area. It stocked bags, hats, wallets, socks and sporting underwear as well as certain sports accessories such as real leather footballs, goalie gloves and shin pads for football, golf equitment for golf and so forth. Again all these items were reasonably priced and looked great quality.
This store was brilliant and definitely worth the visit, although I only got a jumper, a few T-Shirts and a pair of trainers I'll definitely be going back for more! (And I am next weekend infact!) Thanks~M~
Advantages: The best cross trainers ever Disadvantages: None
...have ever had. They are Reebok DMX shoes which cost about £55 when I bought them in June this year. They are grey in colour with black trim and they feel like slippers. I have run several miles in them, taken part in numerous Body Pump and Circuit training classes, cycled, played the odd game of football and walked around a few shopping centres since then and they are still as comfortable as the day I bought them.
However, training shoes are not ... ...training for example, these DMX's have passed every test and challenge that I have set them so far. I didn't actually buy my DMX's at the Reebok shop so perhaps this opinion should be placed elsewhere, but do look out for them in other sports shoe outlets, they are terrific. ...

...Somerset and there is a Reebok shop so I decided to pop in and have a look as Reebok is my favourite Sports brand. The shop is very large and has space between the different clothes and things so I didn't feel cramped. That's one of things that I hate mostly about shops, it makes me feel like they are trying to push me out but I didn't feel this in the Reebok Shop. The shop sells a variety of different Rreebok things e.g. clothes, trainers, bags ... ...sell a whole range of Reebok bags. They have a big display of them and there are bags like the ones the cross over your body and rucksacks and sports bags. They are all reasonably priced once again.
Reebok accesories are sold as well such baseball hats, wallets, purses etc. In the shop, they are a large number of staff around and they are very friendly and helpful. I inquired about an intem and the man went off to see if they had anymore in stock, ...

Advantages: Good prices, range Disadvantages: none
The Reebok Shop is in Street in Somerset. It is a factory outlet shop so as you can imagine EVERYTHING is cheap and it is all of good quality!
They sell everything you could think of to do with Reebok in there from wallets to trainers etc.
The trainers are priced around £25 so that it very cheap compared to some high street sports shops where you would most likely pay a price of £60 or something so in here you are saving a great deal of money!
... ...mens, womens, and childrens clothes. The childrens clothing is very good and the sizes go up to age 14, the clothes are very cheap and it's quite hard to believe the price!
The layout of the store is good and it isn't very cramped like most sports shops. The staff are very helpful and the queues aren't that long.
After my trip there, I was very happy! ...

Advantages: Great shoes at attractive prices Disadvantages: I wonder if some of the stock are slight seconds
I have to date had 3 shopping experiences in my local Brantano store.
We have a largish store opened up in Marsh Barton industrial estate in Exeter.
The store past seasons designer shoes and boots for children and adults, along with shoe care accessories.
The shoes are all laid out on shelves and in pairs in shoe size (this is UK shoe size) and please be aware that the do not sell half sizes.
This is a great shop to find great labels at discounted prices. You'll find a host of famous such as Clarks, Hush Puppies, Skechers, Rocket Dog, Nike and Reebok.
Staff in the shop are very friendly and are happy to measure your feet, though they do only measure the shoe size and not the width. There never appears to be many staff on the shop floor, so far I have seen no more than 2 or 3 at any time, however as they display ...

Advantages: All the shops in one place Disadvantages: the prices
a does have a certain charm to it. There are several entrances one of which greets you with a huge water feature, where many throw in a penny and make a wish.
Some of the shops on offer here include Gap, Antler, Levi, Armani, Reebok, Cadbury, Bookworld, Donnay, Papermill. I'm not really that keen on shopping but a walk round here can be quite relaxing given that there appears to be so much space, the shops themselves always seem to have a few people in them but I sometimes wonder when looking how they actually manage to make any money, I mean the rates must be quite high, and they seldom look like they are doing a roaring trade, l with the exceptions of Donnay which is almost always mobbed and the queues are humungous.
The eating places usually have queues too, but they have a reasonable amount of staff to ensure that the wait isn ...
Advantages: Good lay-out, very clean and lots of shops. Disadvantages: Not a huge assortment of 'designer' clothes
over the walkways which does protect you somewhat from the rain etc, depending on what time of year you visit.
In my opinion it is very well set out and attractive. It is immaculately clean and pleasant to wander around.
The thoroughfares are wide and there are sometimes different barrow stalls in the centre as one of the photos shows.
~ The Shops ~
There are 70+ stores, including places to eat. Not being a huge shopper, I didn't go in to all of them but I have listed some below to give you an idea of the brands that are there:
* M&S
* Next
* Oasis
* Austin Reed
* Adidas
* Kurt Muller
* Mexx
* Rockport
* Zara
* Tog 24
* Camille
* Reebok
* Joseph
The shops vary from very smart to jumble sale-like layouts, my opinion about just a few of them:
M&S ~ This was very tidy and clean, very much like M&S you find ...
