I too have had a good experience in buy running shoes, here in Dublin. I was recommended to go to Mick Dowling’s world of sport in Terenure. You might not recognize the name, but Mick was an irish boxer and is a regular on RTE Sport.

I’d already researched what kind of shoe I’d need by looking into what the various terms relating to gait etc. meant. Luckily, I don’t require any special support.

Being a large build Mick recommended a shoe that matched my requirements and would have good cushioning. I went with the Nike Pegasus. Man was I happy. They lasted me ages (as I fell out of my routine over the summer) but am back at it regularly for a few months now just got my second pair.
