Our Store

The Runners Hub is a specialist running store selling top quality brands such as Brooks, Asics, Inov-8, On-running, Saucony, Hoka, New Balance and Ron Hill running shoes, clothing and equipment. Established in July 2016 by Nigel Crompton after his early retirement from the NHS. Nigel is a qualified level 2 UKA Endurance coach, Corrective Exercise Specialist (National Association of Sports Medicine) and Running Movement Coach as well as chairman and coach at nearby Pensby Runners. All the staff in The Runners Hub are runners themselves and members of running clubs in Wirral and North Wales and running is what we like to talk about!

Our aim is to provide a quality service that guarantees the customer gets the right product with advice, gait analysis and the chance to try out several shoes on our instore treadmill to be really sure that you have the right fit for you.

Gait Analysis

 

We undertake a comprehensive gait analysis for those who require it which includes some functional tests and further analysis on our treadmill where you will be filmed using specially designed software from different angles in order to get a true picture of your gait. We will ask you questions about your current running, your aspirations in running and any injury history. It is always useful to book in advance if you feel you will require gait analysis and it can take approximately 40 – 45 minutes. You will need to attend wearing your running clothes (shorts or running tights in order that we can observe joints) and bring along your current or old running shoes in order that we can observe wear pattern.
