BJ tout le monde je suis un nouveau adhérent. J'ai 62 ans, et je pratique le footing depuis fort longtemps. Mon problème est toujours comment choisir mes espadrilles pour ce faire.

Ahhhh Dave, but why on earth did this person use the word "espadrilles" ? From what I remember of my days living in France "espadrilles" are more sandals made of cloths with sort of rope soles..... Mfamilias may be able to enlighten us

Probably because they are French? Espadrilles, sneakers, shoes, all about the same meaning..😁

Bonjour Laklamed, et bienvenu! La plupart des gens qui fréquent ce forum utilise l'anglais - si vous postez en langue anglaise, vous aurez donc plus de retour :)

Quant aux chaussures, si vous courez depuis fort longtemps, je doute que vous le fassiez en espadrilles :D Il vaut mieux voir un spécialiste de chaussures de running, comme le dit Dave - il vous aidera à trouver "la" paire qui vous accompagnera sur vos aventures.

I thought running in "espadrilles" is a bit odd, aswell. Aren't they some kind of sandal?

They're canvas shoes with rope soles. Run with them in the rain and you discover what it's like to run with your feet strapped to planks ;)

Yes I confirm that espadrilles are not the word in French for running shoes. I have lived here in France for the past 32 years and have never heard it used in that way . But hey maybe it's a regional thing ? ? ?

Bienvenue. Les meilleures chaussures pour vous sont ceux qui correspondent bien, à l'aise et de fournir le soutien que vos pieds ont besoin.

Laklamed, j'ai l'impression que votre Français est une deuxième langue pour vous. Si vous cherchez des idées et des conseils pour faire de la course, je vous suggère d'utiliser l'Anglais ici.

Aussi pour les chaussures, laissez mois vous suggérer de ne pas utiliser des espadrilles ou des pantoufles 😂😂😂😂😂. Il vous faut des chaussures de course. Allez dans un magasin de sport. Vous aurez beaucoup de choix. L'idée c'est d'être confortable et avoir des chaussures juste une taille un peu plus grande car vos pieds vont gonfler.

Et maintenant... en Anglais seulement.....😄

Some can have rubber soles, maybe she has these and thinks it would be the name for running shoe's.. hope she comes back.. 😊

All we need is Floss to have a go at French now, she's probably expert with that as well as English, I'm not doing anymore French, was never a strong point for me, although love the countries ambiance a Café's for parking motorbikes up outside, having travelled a lot of it..😊
