Feb 15,2025Brought some Nike alpha flys3 worse them for one half a marathon and the soles fell apart. Returned them by post to receive an email stating I had worse them multiple times. Poor service truly believe the trainers are not genuine to fall apart the way they did.

Nov 17,2024Second time in this shop when I've been ignored or the staff were indifferent. I went today to buy a pair of running shoes and the staff member available ignored me twice, then went and served a customer that had just walked in. The previous time I was with two friends who were looking for walking shoes and the staff member was very obviously not keen to provide the right service (gait analysis etc). I had great service from this place in the past, but now I feel like I somehow don't fit anymore the profile of a customer worth their time. I've taken my custom to another shop in the city centre. It's a shame, because Achilles Heel is literally five minutes away from my house.

Oct 02,2024I went to return a pair of shoes I bought a week ago that weren’t right for my feet, and I had worn them outside so I was hesitant to return them in case they didn’t take them. The manager of the store came to help me find a better pair and allowed me to swap them, and was so understanding and helped me find shoes that worked for my feet really well. Highly recommend.

Sep 18,2024Good product but had an issue with the color not matching the picture. Overall, I’m satisfied, but that small detail was off

Sep 03,2024I was up from Southampton visiting a friend in Scotland & she highly recommended this store & I was not disappointed! I was served by Ewan & he was brilliant! He was so knowledgeable & knew exactly what I needed. The Hoka trainers he chose for me after watching my gait are amazing & have changed the way I walk by giving me fantastic support & comfort. I would highly recommend this store (wish they had one down South!) & their brilliant staff - so glad I went to them.

May 27,2024I went to Achilles 9 weeks ago as my p/t advised me to get a gait analysis and get proper shoes as I wanted to run in the Manchester 10k and I hadn’t run since leaving school & I am 67. The staff were great and thanks to their help I bought a pair of Saucony. I completed my first 10k yesterday. Now thinking of doing Glasgow 10k so when I need my next pair I will be going to Achilles.

May 01,2024Stefan and the team were exceptional! Beyond great service! Invested in a pair of ON Running trainers for my 80 year old dad. Stefan and the team could not have been more helpful and kind and respectful. Great energy and great experience. THANK YOU!!!!

Mar 24,2024We went to Achilles Heel Glasgow to seek advice on a particular type of trainer shoe due to my wife having the foot injury Planter Plate. From the initial moment of entering the shop, the staff were professional, friendly & approachable and made you feel welcome plus the store is dog friendly and they didn’t mind our hyper energetic Yorkie Terrier being in the shop. Steph and his staff are a font of knowledge when it comes to running shoes, foot injuries and other issues associated with feet. They spent time with my wife looking at her foot, trying on different trainers to check width, length and comfort when she walked. The staff weren’t at all pushy and looking for a quick sale instead they wanted to ensure that my wife was fully happy and content with the trainer they recommended. I would not hesitate to go back again ether to get advice from Steph and his team or to buy a specialist running shoe. The time Steph and his staff spent with my wife talking and showing concern about her foot injury was so much more helpful than the NHS Podiatrist who diagnosed her injury initially. I throughly recommend you visit Achilles Heel Glasgow if you need specialist advice on running shoes for foot injuries.

Feb 27,2024I came in looking for shoes as a beginner runner that had specific colour ways needed. Elliot helped me out and was so patient and helpful the whole time! I can’t wait to try out my new shoes, thanks so much Elliot :)

Feb 11,2024I've been having sessions with Lucien for a few years now for both Chiropody treatments, and Podiatry appointments where I have received professional custom orthotics. He always has expert knowledge and has been able to help me with a range of issues over the many times that I have seen him, and I highly recommend his services

Jan 03,2024First time buying a proper pair of running shoes, the guy was so helpful and received a gait analysis. Brought out a number of shoes to try on and felt like a proper experience in the shop. Would happily go back and spend my money in there, extremely worth it.

Dec 16,2023A very good in-store shopping experience. I visited the store to try on some road shoes in a size 13, a product that running stores in Edinburgh did not stock. I received expert advice from Cian, who observed my gait and brought out a half-dozen pairs for me to try, both neutral and support shoes. Having a choice in my size is a rare luxury. The final two contenders were tried on the treadmill and a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23s purchased. I highly recommend this store for all-round good service, particularly if you have big feet!

Feb 21,2025Ordered a pair of the white Nike structure 25’s with the lava and blue swooshes, they are so comfy! Can’t wait to wear them out on my 5k today, looking forward to seeing the benefit of the soft cushioning on my shins and the plush landing with my heel strike. Amazing price on these, they were £40 cheaper than Nike so I got the sprint delivery for £6 and they were with me next day, couldn’t ask for more, thanks Achilles Heel!
