My latest foot pump has just given up the ghost - it's lasted maybe two months.
It's one of those double pump things, but made from thin metal, it wobbles around stupidly when you press it.

My previous one to that was a single Michellin one. That lasted longer, but also broke sooner than I was expecting.

Does anyone have recommendations for a good, reliable foot pump? I tend to do a lot of pumping, as both my rear tyres have slow leaks.

Pay about £8 for each wheel and get the wheels sealed / slow puncture repaired

Yeah, but I will need a foot pump eventually as well.

I've only had one which was a cheapy that punctured itself.
Now we use an upright bicycle pump instead

As said get the leak's repaired!

I have a double foot pump from halfords, seems to be quite sturdy. I have had it 6 months with no problems

I use a Blowjoe? upright foot pump, It was brought initially for our bikes & designed for bikes.

But works well with mini tyres too.

My arms ache after two tyres so I just drive it to the local garage and they pump them up for free .

I thought he was gonna say he used something else . Sounds like a good idea though, we tend to get through 3/4 a year! . The halfords ones aint up to much.

Don't buy one off Thiefbay! I bought one for about 8 quid. It was tiny and had the blowing power of an 80 year-old asthmatic.

How about this one
