Shop review by coaches ! About them :
Runways in Parnell Street has been set up as a partner shop to Cycleways (est. 1984.) The aim of the store is to provide excellent customer service, and a line of high quality and durable running shoes and apparel for runners of all types. As a coach you always looking for some new product, new technology items, but mainly technical staff to help you out. Well this is one place to keep in mind in Ireland. I found very difficult in some places to get the proper advice for running shoes, simply because sometimes staff are just staff, and do not know the difference between long distance runners from a 10km runners, injuries due to the wrong shoes etc…
Well this place do, I went a few time to runways in the past, and off course my athletes would go from time to time.
Their staff provides professional gait analysis and will do our best to ensure they match the right runners to suit your needs. they are a team of passionate athletes, with a focus on providing an outstanding shopping experience.
their city centre location is easily accessible on Parnell street. We are located across from the ‘Ilac Shopping Centre’ at 187 Parnell Street.
