At Best Shoe Store, we understand that securing your perfect running shoes should be as smooth as your stride. Our Manchester-based team of running enthusiasts has curated secure, flexible payment options to match the performance standards of our footwear.
Runner’s Note: All transactions are encrypted with 256-bit SSL technology – equivalent to the protection level used by international banks. Your payment details are never stored on our servers.
Global Payment Methods for International Runners
We accept all major payment platforms to serve our global community of serious runners:
Credit/Debit Cards
Processed instantly through our PCI-DSS compliant gateway. Ideal for runners who want their footwear dispatched within our 1-2 working day processing window.

The preferred choice for international buyers wanting an extra layer of purchase protection. Particularly useful for our customers in regions where card payments might face additional verification steps.

As performance running specialists, our payment selection reflects the same precision engineering as our shoes:
- Reliability: Processed through established global networks with 99.9% uptime
- Speed: Instant verification means faster order processing
- Security: Fraud detection systems screen every transaction
- Currency Flexibility: Automatic conversion for international orders
Payment Security for Peace of Mind
We treat your payment data with the same care we apply to selecting running shoe technologies:
- Tokenization replaces sensitive data with unique identifiers
- 3D Secure authentication for eligible cards
- Regular security audits by independent cybersecurity firms
- Real-time transaction monitoring by our Manchester team
Training Tip: For time-sensitive race gear purchases, we recommend PayPal or card payments for fastest processing. Contact us at [email protected] with “RACE EMERGENCY” in the subject line if you need expedited shipping.
Common Payment Questions from Runners
Q: Do you accept alternative payment methods like Apple Pay or Google Pay?
A: Currently, we focus on our core payment options to maintain our high security standards while we evaluate additional platforms.
Q: Why was my card declined?
A: This is usually your bank’s fraud prevention. Contact them to approve international transactions (we’re based in Manchester, UK). Alternatively, try PayPal which often bypasses these checks.
Q: Can I change my payment method after ordering?
A: Email us at [email protected] within 1 hour of ordering with your order number. Our runner-staff will attempt to accommodate changes before processing begins.
