Well done Piglet7969, do the 'real running shoes' make you run quicker than a normal pair of trainers?, did you get a gait analysis before you bought them?

Yeah full gait analysis done, shop was amazing sales guy know his stuff, not sure about running faster, but feel like running on clouds and no pain anywhere

That is good to know, two weeks ago I bought a running belt and enquired about new running shoes, I also understand that they also do a gait analysis and afterwards recommend the best shoes to buy after the analysis.

Yeah he suggested types for me to look at, nothing was too much trouble for him, had about 10 pairs on, would thoroughly recommend getting analysis done

You can only attach a photo to the first post, not sure if you can edit it in or not.

New shoes are fab... at least tell us what you ended up with and what colour!? 🤣
