Visited today to buy technical clothing for my daughter. We spent about 2 hours trying clothes under the exceptional guidance of Niall! His knowledge was excellent, but his patience impressed me greatlly; thank you Niall for all your help. It goes without saying really that I recommend this store.

Went in to get a new rucksack but hadn't visited this store before so wasn't sure if they would have what I was looking for. Very pleasantly surprised to see the range of products they had that have me some really good options. Staff were really helpful, knowledgeable and talked to me about my requirements and were just great. Left the store with a new rucksack and very pleased with my experience.

T. B.

Great service from very knowledgeable staff when I went in to runners need for some trainers

L. B.

Too much of the stock was in the sale ie clothes that they couldn't shift normally. Was just a sprinkling of clothes that people actually wanted to buy.

A. D.

Really helpful staff at this store, knowledgeable and friendly.

Matthew was so wonderful today he was extremely polite, professional and friendly. He was extremely pleasant and knowledgable about what socks/shoes I needed for the particular countries i’m travelling to. Also, gave great advice on which backpack would be best suited depending on my needs and gave some good tips about how frequently to wash socks when away

S. T.

Friendly and helpful staff , nice range of gear

S. B.

Very helpful to give me advice on looking after my boots

A. O.

Visited specifically for Runners Need. Staff really helpful but was disappointed with the selection of running shoes. Luckily was able to try on a few and pick the best fit but didn't have my size so ended up buying online.

The guy who served us Today was brilliant.I didn't catch his name but he usually works in the Leeds shop,he was originally from Cape Town.He was extremely knowledgeable and made our visit a really enjoyable experience.If his manager reads this please pass on our feedback

Fantastic Customer Service from Abby. Outstanding Understanding of the Product of Running Shoes On Offer and Excellent Way of relating Information and Description of the Products. Time and Effort well spent In Store and Patience with The Customers. 10 out of 10 👍

R. R.

Said it was waterproof and it deffo was, found the staff very useful 👍🏻

S. A.

Helpful staff who had the patience to allow me to try many sizes and types of walking shoe/boot plus give good tips for lacing up in a way to give secure and comfortable fit.

B.

Went for a gait analysis as getting bad knee pain when running. Abbey was super helpful and talked through what I was looking to get out of it and how each shoe affected my stride in different ways. Turns out I’ve been running in shoes which are a size too small and that offered no support whatsoever. So I’ve now got some shoes which are correctly sized and with the correct type support so all being well no more knee pain!

J. D.

I visited Runners Need as I have usually purchased my running shoes from here. I find that the staff in the shop are really knowledgeable and pleasant so keep on returning. On this occasion they once again performed gait analysis and confirmed I needed neutral trainers. As they didn't have any types that I liked, I had to go directly to Adidas who had a special offer for the kind of trainer I wanted. The sales guy was very nice about this so I felt I had to purchase something (of use to me) and I bought the easy-pull laces for my new Adidas trainers. One thing is for sure; I will always call in to Runners Need before going elsewhere when I need sporting goods (especially for running and walking).

K. N.

Well stocked with wide choices of outdoor essentials. Very clean and staff very helpful. Will return again soon as I wasn't aware of location prior to visit.

J. M.

Good quality clothing, trainers, hiking and sports gear. Staff were helpful. Not much Parking.

S. T.

What a great system they have for the ease of us the customer. I ordered and paid for my item on their website for collection at this the nearest store to were I live. This was during the Christmas/new year period, so was extremely happy that the item could have been collected within a couple hours. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY

O. A.

Great shop for walking boots. Guy sorted me right out. Measured my feet properly and gave me lots of great tips and guidance. (promotion for the fella from the lakes please)

S. M.

Going Skiing? Then this is the place to kit you out with top of the range gear! Skiing holiday cancelled and decide to take up running.... then this is also the place for you, as it has a dedicated Runners Need department with running experts to help you get the right pair of running footwear.

T. B.

Snow and rock is one of those amazing shops that sells all the very best kit. Does mean it's a little on the he costly side, but bargains can be found here. They mostly sell snow sports clothing here, or at least they did. But now there is a fantastic bike shop up stairs. Staff are always helpful and welcoming here.

C. M.

Excellent range of quality kit for trekking / hiking and outdoor adventuring Would highly recommend spending your ££ on the best brands as they will look after you when other kit let's you down and for many years. Snow and rock stocks all the best tested brands

t. e.

The staff are great. Guaranteed they will be able to help you with everything you need. I was super nervous about going in as I have no clue, staff were really approachable and friendly. We're able to help me with what I needed and explain everything really well. I really felt looked after! Would definitely recommend this place, especially for first timers/ beginners.

M. O.

Great selection of items across disciplines. Recent experience of staff for footwear was great, great knowledge of footwear but also friendly and provided useful advice for upcoming holiday destination where they had also been. With Snow + Rock merging with the likes of Cotswold there is greater choice available without having to go to other stores if ordered in.

H.

Friendly staff. Great range of Patagonia .

P. M.

I needed some advice on ski boots and this guy really knows his stuff. He took his time and explained all aspects of boot fitting and took detailed measurements. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to get expert advice and recommendation on which boots are the best for your foot shape. Many thanks Luke!

D. B.

Part of the Cotswold Outdoor chain, with some nice kit on offer. The staff are always helpful but their prices tend towards the premium end. Definitely a place to go if expert advice is required such as boot fitting or getting kitted out for an adventure.👍🏔🏝⛺️

M. J.

Stock not as good as it used to be and more available online but still nice to be able to touch, feel & try what you're buying.

d. j.

Great staff great health and safety checks. Had gait analysis only issue didn't have my size in the trainers i chose but that couldn't be helped. Would go again!

D. W.

Great place to shop for outdoor equipment. Friendly and helpful staff

M. M.

I spent nearly £400 about 3 years ago on the most ill fitting boots. The guy that fitted them was rubbish. Said there was only one boot I could buy and fitted me with expert boots even though i'm a beginner. I was ready to throw these boots until I met Richie. He adjusted them once for me (still agony) then went out of his way to sort them again. They now feel ok. Richie mopped up my previous poor service, he was professional, knowledgable, had a lovely way about him and was really laid back. Proper service from a really nice guy. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a good boot fitter, I just wish he's been there first time round

L. C.

This is by far the best place I've found in Manchester for bike repairs. Very knowledgeable staff who are friendly and approachable. Really good value for money on repairs as well

G. S.

Fab shop, great sale items and online shopping too Staff were very attentive and friendly

J. C.

If it hadn't been for the American spelling on the advert outside, I would have given it five stars. Particularly good for cycling kit. Lots of parking and helpful staff.

S. B.

By the looks of it I'd be surprised if this place is still open much longer. Saturday afternoon, I was literally the only one in the place, upstairs now closed off too. Only returning something to runners need, staff friendly and helpful......not much else to say really.

A. P.

A good choice of products provided by mostly attentive staff.

G. F.

Sarah was amazing! She’s changed my ski holiday and the way I ski for life. 100% custom fit, my ski boots were made to fit me!

d. c.

I go there because they allow pets in and are pet friendly, so I take my three dogs in , let them sniff about a bit, then leave without ever buying anything. The staff are friendly so my dogs love the place

C. C.

Snow and Rock always have the latest and greatest outdoor equipment. This store is always empty and there are always staff on hand to help you out. Oh and it has a car park! What more could you ask for?

A. L.

Very friendly staff... Had my gait analysis test there and it was good and recommended

D. A.

If you're lucky enough to get Kate helping you, she is amazing. Extremely knowledgeable and super helpful.

C. P.

Okay, its a standard Snow and Rock, but living in Chorlton it is very useful before I clear off to Wales for the weekend as I escape Manchester. The most useful thing about it for me is that they stock Arcteryx and some Sweet clothing.

H. m.

Excellent stock of quality outdoor wear but be ware its very expensive.

The smoothest running shoes buying experience so far! Usually it takes 1-3 hours until I find something that fits, but I came here, was asked what I'm looking for, told about my pronation, running strike patterns, feet size and width, waited a bit, the guy came back with 3 options, tried them, the second one fit me perfectly and bought it. It was even cheaper than on manufacturers website. If all shopping experiences were like this, world would be a better place! Super happy about the experience, will definitely come back again :)
