Fantastic service as always

Visit: 17/09/23 Absolutely first class. David gave my daughter (who’s 11) his fullest attention, knowledge and and patience! He explained everything along the way and as a result my daughter came away with the right trainers for her and very enthused for her next run (she went when she got home).

Really positive experience. Excellent and knowledgeable service from a lady in the Portsmouth branch.

Great experience, with a knowledgeable team member. I have purchased Brooks trail shoes. So looking forward to my next Parkrun.

Excellent booking service, then a refundable £20 against new shoes, the tech used worth every penny!
Helpful Report
I booked in for an appointment due to suffering with heel pain from plantar fasciitis. I met with Emily who was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. Emily walked me through a full assessment and showed me why I was experiencing pain, how my arches had fallen and that my feet aren’t evenly distributing weight when I walk. She explained in detail how we can improve the issues with custom made insoles. Emily went above & beyond and even sent me home with some temporary insoles to help whilst I await mine to arrive! Absolutely fantastic service, a 10/10 experience.

The service in your Christchurch store was exceptional. Very clear descriptions of what the assessment involved, including the results. The description of each shoe presented to try on was very helpful. Very pleased with my purchase!

The staff are really good and knowledgeable. Gave me a gait check and helped me choose a suitable pair of walking shoes and socks. These have proved very comfortable and helped with my knee problem. Thank you Alexander Sports.

The assessment was completed thoroughly and all aspects of this and the findings were explained to me as we went along. Both staff members were relaxed, friendly and attentive throughout and I enjoyed the process.

Returning customer, made an appointment over the phone for a gait analysis and bio mechanical assessment. I travel from Reading, so checked the model of trainer I wanted was in stock and was assured of this. Turned up at 12: staff were busy and someone else in an appointment. Wasn’t informed of this beforehand or how long wait would be - instead member of staff acted as if I didn’t need assessment as I had had it before. Was given trainers to try - not the Brooks model I wanted, as they were not in stock. This was surprising given the assurance from the day before. Received no technical insight from staff member, only a poor sales tactic you’d expect of Sport Soccer, not a specialist shop. Could have ordered shoes in with 7-10 day lead time, but I can receive the same service just ordering online for cheaper. Extremely disappointed - I try to support companies like Alexandra Sports as they provide an important, specialist service - one usually worth travelling for. Doubtful I’ll make another appointment.

Excellent service. James took time to explain the tests, understood my problems and had a very kind and professional approach. Will recommend the shop in Christchurch and go back.

Very good service. Thorough and knowledgeable staff.
Helpful Report
Unfortunately, the assessment I had was not helpful at all. They used a walking pressure test and a barefoot running test, then used that to suggest I land heavy on my heels. When running in shoes, however, my gait is completely different to walking and I don't heel strike at all. Barefoot running a few steps across a shop and/or walking back and forward don't predict how a person will run in shoes, which should be obvious to anyone who analyses running mechanics. This does not constitute a gait analysis. That said, the main reason I went in was to figure out my correct shoe size. They said I had 'unusually' wide feet and didn't have a single shoe in any style or brand that would fit me. Despite being unable to sell me shoes or even order them for me, they still took my 'deposit' for having my feet measured. It was a waste of money and, I think, quite dishonest. The store has a good reputation, so I was surprised to have this experience.

if you run, I would advise you to visit Alexandra Sports where you will find knowledgeable members of staff who have access to the equipment necessary to help you select the right type of trainers for you.
Helpful Report
Fantastic service as usual. Emily listened to my running history and future goals to help get the right fit. Everything she said about my alignment made sense and I’m confident I’ve come away with a pair of trainers that will best support my feet/ ankles/ knees etc. thoroughly recommend!

Really friendly and helpful. Ended up with two pairs of really comfy shoes.

Dawn was absolutley amazing. She had read the history of my back before I had arrived, completed a full analysis of my feet, she helped me understand why the running shoes I had ordered were not suitable for the type of gym work I am doing and instead produced a selection of shows that would be more suitable for my needs......she even understood about me wanting them to look nice! Dawn explained that my tread on each foot is very different and one knee is higher than the other.....I had never noticed this! I am looking forward to trying my shoes out at the gym and am now keen to get walking shoes and work shoes from Alexandra Sport. I don't usually invest in good footwear but I have the feeling this is going to make an enormous difference to my exercise performance and comfort.
