Buying running shoes in Helsinki

Specialist running stores will usually watch you run and help you choose. Allow half an hour, and bring the socks you run in. From October to March, ask about studded running shoes (nastalenkkarit), which Helsinki runners use on icy paths. Our winter running guide explains why.

Store details change. Check opening hours on the store's own website before you visit. Own a running store? See featured listings.
