Snowlines

I didn’t buy anything from Snowlines, but I still have to write a review on the great customer service that was provided. They didn’t carry much of what I was looking for (hiking shoes vs. running shoes), but the sales person was super helpful and tried his best to find something that might work for me. In the end, he apologized for not carrying what I was after, but that isn’t his fault and I was just checking my options and seeing if they had something that might work (I already knew it might be a long shot). Other employees where working with customers on trying to get them the best running shoe for their style of running and that sort of attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed by me. If I were local to Edinburgh and was really into the minimalist running movement, I would probably shop here for my running shoe needs.

Well stocked running shop with a good selection of trainers, clothing, and other kit. They also have a snowsports section downstairs, but as of now (Late Nov 2008) the stock is a bit limited. Shop is currently undergoing some major renovations however, I imagine that the stock will improve shortly. Friendly knowledgeable service too!

lovely selection of running clothes here and helpful and friendly staff. I haven’t had a chance to buy shoes from them yet, but will be trying them the next time I need shoes.
There is a new shop opening next door called her footworks for womens shoes and clothing

If you’re a runner and you need new running shoes, go to Footworks. Here you’ll get good, honest and educative sales from people whom seem to know what they’re talking about and actually care. I went here after leaving it too long to get a new pair of running shoes and I left more than happy with the new set. Service includes a full foot measurement, trying-​on of a variety of types of shoe and having your feet videoed on the running machine so you can see in slow-​motion how the shoe affects your step. Brilliant. Professional. Friendly. Trustworthy.
