Where to buy good running shoes

Running shoes of different brands

When you run regularly, you are always looking to motivate yourself: new running gear, different routes, a new friend/crew to run with and, most importantly, a nice pair of running shoes.

Outrunner and Sport Soul are two stores where you can find them all. Outrunner evaluates your gait and advises you in selecting the footwear that offers the best fit for you. They sell professional brands such as Saucony and Mizuno. If there’s one thing the staff at Sport Soul knows, it’s running – and the variety of specialty running gear in stock is testament to that passion.

After you’ve picked up the shoes that fit you best and tied your laces, meet like-minded people and start running! Every Thursday, Ortaköy Run Club meets at Outrunner at 19:00 for a 5k run. Sport Soul also organizes 5k runs starting from Bebek and Maçka, Tuesday to Saturday.
