Running Product Reviews

Our wide range can be overwhelming if you don't know what you're looking for. Following are some reviews of some of our running products, but nothing can replace the personal service we offer in our shops.

Review: Hoka OneOne Running Shoes

“Run uphill as though wings are carrying you, fly down and still want to keep on going and going, all in one smooth, instinctive action...” Two years ago, the dream envisaged by two outdoor lovers and adventure racing enthusiasts became a reality.

Review: The Grid

We love The Grid! It's perfect for injury prevention and rehab, such as ITB syndrome, shin splints, achilles problems, tight quads and hamstrings. Plus it will strengthen your core, which in many runners' cases reduces a lot of injuries and stiffness.

Review: KT Tape

KT Tape is an ultra-strong and light elastic tape, used for injury prevention and rehabilitation. It offers excellent protection for the muscles and joints. Unlike most other sports tape, KT Tape provides elasticity, ensuring comfort without restricting natural movement, allowing freedom to the muscles and joints.

Review: Salomon Speedcross 3

“The Salomon Speedcross is a fairly low profile dedicated trail shoe, with what I considered enough grip to keep me upright on steep and muddy trails but also some cushioning to cope with harder packed firm based trails like forestry tracks or the firmer paths of our local Pentland Hills just outside Edinburgh where I run regularly.” – Adrian Tarit Stott

Introducing Barefoot Running Shoes

When Run and Become first opened in 1982 running shoes weren’t much different to the likes of Inov-8's Road-X range; mildly cushioned, fairly light shoes. Gel and Air were terms for the future. Since then running shoes have gone through huge development, so has the running population.

Review: Barefoot Running and the Nike Free

With barefoot running creating such a stir and with so many different styles on the market, where to begin? The shoe that has held its own for some time now is the Nike Free. Not much importance was given to this shoe when it first came onto the market, but as a transition shoe before going to barefoot, it is perfect: light, minimal and very flexible.
