Ebay often has the answer to most queries about "where should I buy 'that' from?", but we would recommend that you go to a reputable sports retailer for you athletics needs. A list of some good equipment related websites is below...
Bourne SportsPossibly the BEST online retailer or athletics footwear in the UK. You can find anything from the latest sprint spike to a £5 pair of steeplechase spikes! If the spike model is found in this country, Bourne Sports should stock it. Delivery is as reliable as Ben Carne winning the 400H at Varsity, and postage is not normally charged on spikes.
www.bournesports.com
StartfitnessThis site is good value for money, and often supplies a wide range of track, field and cross-country spikes, as well as trainers. It also stocks a good range of athletics clothing too. Delivery is swift, like Kieran's 100m.
Run and BecomeHumphrey's favourite shop in London, this shop is a little more expensive than it's rivals, but because it is only a train ride away it is well worth a visit, with a great range of track, field and cross-country spikes, fell shoes and of course trainers. The clothing section is also fantastically stocked with many up and coming brands. Check out the website... www.runandbecome.com
Sweatshop UKCambridge has its own Sweatshop (somewhere!) - and this is always a good bet to find quality specialist athletics kit. The website is quite basic, so it's best to email the shop and see what they have in stock... Find details at: www.sweatshop.co.uk
A decent range of trainers and athletics kit can be found in Cambridge itself, in Hobbs Sports. Go to the back of the shop for clothing, and downstairs for trainers.
Lost Kit
A new website that has been launched with the aim of helping runners find their lost property.
Report any property you have lost at races or meetings in the UK and they'll track it down,
or if you've found something report it and they'll hopefully find the owner.

For multi-eventers and specialists, Neuff are the leading importer of athletics hardware in the UK (and around the world). Their website is extensive, providing anything from javelin heel-cups to pole vault poles. Humphrey's javelin, starting blocks and jumpers heel-cups have come from Nueff and he has yet to be disappointed by the service (often from Dr. Neuff himself!)...
