Profeet

I need to buy a new pair of running shoes and to help me choose I went to Profeet near Clapham South, a specialist running shop. Being heavy, slow and having dodgy knees I thought it best to get some expert advice.

At the shop they diagnosed my running style via video camera and came to the conclusion that I overpronated and that my old (expensive!) Nikes weren't doing me any good. They then custom-made an insole to give me the support I need and recommended a new shoe - Brooks which were designed to give me greater stability.

I've just been on a run and I must admit it did feel a bit odd as I'm not used to having so much support. However, my knee felt OK and the shoes were very comfortable.

Definitely worth a visit to Profeet if you're thinking of buying new shoes and have some problems with your running. Convinced me never to buy Nikes again!
