Easy to use site, swift free delivery, great price/product
Reasonable prices and very good customer service. I will be using Direct Running again.
Good price super fast delivery with tracking details, can’t fault them
Lovely running shoes and for really good prices, a little slower on delivery than uk stockists but well worth the short wait. I ordered Brooks 17 women’s and they are just what I expected for a great proce
Easy site to explore and some great deals compared to other running sites. Easy to buy and very effective communication and quick delivery would definitely use again. Bargain Saucony shoes £35 cheaper than elsewhere
Easy to get it on
Good prices
Nice delivery experience
The website advertised “same-day dispatch,” but I waited over 10 days for my shoes to arrive. When I called to check on my order, the customer service representative was clueless and simply said they had “no idea.”
When my Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 shoes finally arrived, I had concerns about their authenticity. The soles looked partially worn, and the lines on the shoes appeared faded. As a result, I returned them, but the entire return process took 17 days.
I would avoid this company if possible. SportShoes is a much more reliable alternative based on my experience.

This was my first purchase. The trainers I bought were a great price and they were dispatched and delivered quickly. Will definitely use this company again.
Clear and informative website allowed easy ordering. Delivery was quick and trainers arrived well packaged and in excellent condition. Super trainers!!
First time using this company and very impressed. Not many places stock Skechers trainers in half sizes and certainly not at these competitive prices. Order was delivered very quickly too. Would highly recommend.
Quality trainers, great price, simple ordering process and very speedy free delivery
have been buying online for many years and have made hundreds of purchases, but my experience with Direct Running has genuinely impressed me.
I originally bought a pair of Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX shoes for my wife after we had tried several different brands and models in a local outdoor shop. She absolutely loved the Merrells, but unfortunately the colour and size she wanted were not available locally. I found the exact pair on Direct Running at a promotional price of £100.95, so I placed the order with express delivery.
Everything was excellent — the price, ordering process, communication, delivery updates and, most importantly, the reliability of the company. The shoes arrived exactly as promised.
We were so impressed that we subsequently bought another pair for my wife in a different colour and a third pair for our son.
And the shoes themselves are fantastic. My wife has owned many different brands of sports and walking shoes over the years, but she says these Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX are number one — extremely comfortable, well made, waterproof, with excellent grip and perfect for everyday walking as well as trips into the hills.
Direct Running has provided a level of service that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Excellent prices, genuine products, fast delivery and first-class communication throughout the whole transaction.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Direct Running to friends and family. I will definitely be buying from them again.
Thank you, Direct Running — a truly first-class company! 👏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Easy purchase and the best price I found on the web. Then the trainers arrived way before they were supposed to and they were perfect. Excellent experience and will use again.
Found the running shoes I wanted at a great price, purchased. They were delivered when stated, very satisfied and would definitely use this company again.
First time customer. Very happy with the company found the shoes I wanted at the best price. Delivery was exceptional. Would definitely recommend.
I ordered some new trainers as the ones I bought from the shop were a tad too small, these were cheaper than the shop bought ones which helped as I’d only had my previous ones about 2 month, they came in about 3 days which was brilliant and fit great, jury is out as to whether or not they feel the same as the shop bought with cushioning but there definitely better to run in being a size bigger, also it was so easy to order and tracking information was great, I would definitely use this company again.
A great website, easy to work around. The delivery of my shoes was very quick. The item was well packaged and the shoes were intact. A really professional service and really good price. All in all 10/10. Would certainly recommend.
Very easy to navigate the site to shop, quick response and delivery keeps you informed through the process right through to the front door.
Good price for the Merrell Moab Speed 2. I've not worn these shoes before - so far, they seem excellent. Amazingly light.
Good & reliable service and a good price for a great pair of shoes.
