Review of Run and Become
18 Jun 08, 16:29
Perfect for newbies and experienced runners 
Stocked with everything you need, but the most important thing here is the staff are very experienced and finding the right kind of shoes for you, especially if you're new to running. Apparently it's all down to if you turn your heels in or out when you run along, in addition to what you feel comfortable in. So if you're ever walking through this part of Victoria, and you see a few people running up and down the same bit of pavement while a shop assistant stares at their feet, you know it's new customers trying out different shoes. They get extra marks because you don't feel hurried into making a purchase, but this does mean you may have to wait at busy times, join the queue!

Review of Lillywhites

dreadful 
Used to be a fantastic shop, pretty much all sports covered. i think the owner 'cheap shell suits and trainers' bought it and now it's like a discount warehouse full of clothes that you have to keep away from a naked flame. The shop itself is a mess, with stock piled up and often on the floor, i can't be bothered to write anymore, a painful retail experience.

Review of Blacks Outdoor Leisure

Outdoor heaven
Well stocked, very helpful staff, lots of things to try out. What more do you need? always found prices here reasonable, and the sales are particularly good, ideal if you go skiing in the summer or camping in midwinter!
