Who are we?
We are the UK’s no. 1 online retailer for run, gym and hike.
Our mission is to help our customers to lead a happier and healthier life through running and fitness, and to help you make the best product choices to achieve your fitness goals.
Our history
Founded by professional footballer Bruce Bannister, SportsShoes Unlimited opened its doors in 1982 – the first sports store of its kind we might add, providing purely technical sports gear for sports people. We’ve been trendsetters for a long time now. In fact, today we still keep some of those early styles on display for a little inspiration.
Today we are SportsShoes.com, with the UK’s widest, yet most carefully curated product range and millions of loyal customers.

Leave no footprints
We believe that there’s no fun to be had standing still. But we know that moving leaves footprints. So we are working in a number of ways to reduce our footprints. We are learning. We are discovering what we don’t know and finding somethings are really complex with no clear answer.
We are in it for the long-haul. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
