Smiths Sports Shoes Dunedin

Smiths Sports Shoes Dunedin is locally owned and operated by Greg and Linda Lapwood, and have been helping Dunedin locals find the right sports shoes since November 1994. With a great variety of footwear in-store, including a number of larger men’s and women’s sizes, our team can help you find shoes suited to your activity, fit, comfort needs and budget.

If foot or leg pain is preventing you from getting out there, our friendly and knowledgeable staff can help fit you into the right shoes at the right price. For more specialist advice, the store also offers a free podiatry service every week in conjunction with Dunedin Podiatry, one of New Zealand’s well-known podiatry teams. Please phone the store for up-to-date days and times and to book a consultation.

Dunedin’s hills, harbour routes and trails can place a wide range of demands on your footwear. Local walking and running options include the Otago Peninsula, the Town Belt and Ross Creek, while more challenging routes around Signal Hill, Mount Cargill and the wider Dunedin skyline require extra consideration around grip, support and cushioning. Ōtepoti Dunedin’s official visitor information highlights the city’s many scenic walks, including tracks across Otago Peninsula, the Town Belt, Ross Creek, the Taieri River and Silverstream areas.

Whether you are walking Dunedin’s hilly streets, running along harbour routes, training for a local event, heading off-road, or looking for comfortable everyday shoes, our team can help compare cushioning, support, width, durability and fit. The store also stocks a broad footwear range to suit runners, walkers, sports players, students and workers.

Smiths Sports Shoes Dunedin is proud to support the local sporting community. The store sponsors the Otago Nuggets and a number of events, including the Great Naseby Ultramarathon Race and the Coastal Classic Half Marathon. The Great Naseby Water Race is a well-known Otago ultramarathon event held near Naseby, while the wider Otago running calendar includes a strong mix of local fun runs, trail events, half marathons and endurance races.

Customers can also join the Smiths Sports Shoes Dunedin customer club to receive ongoing benefits, including discounts, special buys and giveaways.
