The Sweatshop (Shop)

...need to get fitted for the correct shoes for running in, which makes sense when you think about the pounding your feet get when you go for a run! Everyone's different and so everyone lands differently on their feet and your feet can roll in different directions so they need the right support! The shoe fitting service: I was a bit nervous going in because I always feel a bit intimidated by little specialist shops as I feel I'm not experienced enough ...
...shoes and stand barefoot on the floor with my feet together, directly in front of him so he could look at how I naturally stand, weight distribution etc. He looked at my feet from the front and the back and I was then asked to walk up and down the shop so he could look at the movement of my feet. After a lot of walking around I was allowed to sit down and he explained that my feet had slight pronation and that I had quite high arches so I needed ...

Review of The Sweatshop (Shop)
