I am one of the unfortunate runners that has problems with my feet . I called into the Northern Runner shop in Newcastle for some advice on the Hoka running shoe. The salesman was very helpful and had a great deal of knowledge . I found that the wider fitting show with arch support was the best one for me . Only due to limited colour choice in the shop I ended up ordering on line. They were delivered quickly and I am very happy. As these were an Xmas pressie from my wife I’ll not find out how they feel on a run until Boxing Day , I cant wait to get back out there. I think it is important to support this specialist shop as you will get the service that you won’t get elsewhere.
