To paraphrase Shirley Hughes.
Hopefully this will be a better marriage than the last pair of road shoes I bought - the ones whose tops started coming apart after a couple of months.
I wasn’t expecting a discount, but when they asked if I ran with a club I mentioned the canicrosss group I belong to and the guy behind the till said, “With X and Y?” then gave me 10% off, so I bought some socks as well 😃
Co-ordinating socks as well 😁. Lovely 🙂 💕
I did that yesters. I got free socks too
Happy days ey 😃👍
Love a pair of Brooks. Which are Those?
I’ll have to go and check the box as I have forgotten already, but I think they’re called Adrenaline ??
Yup! I had the Glycerine. The Ghost is really popular too. My neice just bought the Ravenna, for our race for life together in a few weeks
Years ago, I used to wear the Ghosts when I was walking a lot of miles. But when I tried them last year they were not right at all. I ended up with the Launch ones and the tops started giving way after 2 months 😕
These are constructed differently, but if the same thing happens again I will not be buying any more.
Aren’t Launch their budget shoes?
😮😮😮😮😮 I was in my local independent shoe shop taking Kurt’s advice. They were not cheap.
No. But Brooks aren’t cheap whatever their pricing tier.
The Launch were £15 cheaper than the marked price of these ones I bought today - I just went and looked at the box!
I think I’ve definitely got a lot more shoe for my money this time.
I've been wearing ghosts for the past 6 months. The top of one now has 2 holes in it though, and they're getting a bit thin on the sole so I'm revving up to buy some new ones. Is it the glycerins which have 25% more cushioning than the ghost? I haven't seen them in the flesh yet but had a wee browse on brook's webite a couple of weeks ago. I'm running up to 7 miles now, and might go further if I can keep my problematic feet and knees happy . Thst's why I thought extra cushioning might be just the thing ... so long as it doesn't feel like running through marshmallows! How did you find the ghosts vs glycerins?
I didn’t try the Glycerins I’m afraid.
The glycerines have plenty of cushion.
They’re what I ended up with.
Nice... I love the balega socks, really comfy too.
So comfy, Balegas and Hillys are my favourites 😀
Great shoes Madder and I love the spotty socks! My Balegas are just boring white but they're really comfy. I love my Hillys too!
My old Balegas are white with tiny bit of blue. These are a lot more ‘me’ 🙂
I love hilly single skin socks
I only wear mono skins- oh with the exception of some Decathlon socks that are only twin as far as the instep.
Proper twin skins feel wrong.
That was the name I was root,in around in my brain for, mono skins. I have both anklets and the longer over the ankle ones.
Ooo they look lovely 😍 enjoy!
Ooh I like the spotty socks!
Pretty much my reaction when I saw them 😍
