Great to visit the Forge store in Staveley. The service and knowledge of the sales person was really good.
Bought my third pair of trail talon max, which I have to say are about the best trail shoe out there. These will be used for the Spine race!!

The happy experience of trying on multiple boots without pressure but with a successful outcome
The member of staff who helped me find me my new boots could not have been more patient, cheerful or thoughtful, getting out as many sizes/ versions as I needed without being the slightest bit pushy.
