Iโve been dithering around with the idea of going for gait analysis for quite some time, but after a trip to the podiatrist with my really not nice feet and to the chiropractor about the niggle in my inner right knee and left glute, I was told in no uncertain terms that it really would be a good idea. So off I went today to the Lincolnshire Runner. I have definite pronation, more pronounced in my right than left foot, hence the right knee twinge. Tried on about 7 pairs of shoes and with the ยฃ15 gait fee knocked off and a further 10% discount, I reckon my new Hokas are going to be worth it. Lovely chap in the LR - ended up comparing parkrun experiences and he gave me some recommendations for further tourism. First, though, vineyards here we come to try them out. Happy running lovely friends ๐๐

Lovely shoes. loving the colour. I love my Hokaโs. Hope you have many happy runs with them.
I like a story with a happy ending! I overpronate because my feet are fastened on to my legs incorrectly. Trust me to have Friday afternoon feet! Great for breaststroke swimming, but otherwise a confounded nuisance. Stability shoes sorted me out last June. Good investment...may they take you on many happy runs and, crucially, bring you back without niggles!๐
Ooo Sandie what lovely beauties! I hope they help you run even faster than you do already! ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
They look really great. Congratulations and many miles happy running in them!
Sassy, sassy,sassy..Happy Running Ky friend and have a super run through those vineyards..maybe a small glass of wine too? Xxx
Happy running in your new shoes Sandie. Vineyards? Are you off in your campervan?
Off to our house in the Dordogne, which is a converted wine store! But also taking the van and are going to motor round to Santiago de Compostela. Back at the end of June, in time for Stratford parkrun in July!
My favourite place..hoping to he in Le Bugue next year.. sigh sigh..This is when I am missing the tin tent! Xx
Oh how wonderful, Sandie . Do have a brilliant time a la France ๐ซ๐ท and Iโm sure youโll enjoy a few glasses of vin rouge ๐ท๐ท
Santiago is great, but you really ought to walk....

Seriously, good you got the Gait analysis, and the new shoes. Have a great time.

Oooh lovely shoes ๐ Happy, injury-free running in them.
Sandie I have Hokas too. They certainly worked for me, although I think yours are better looking than mine ๐คฃ๐คฃ
They look fab, I'm really curious to try Hokas... they do look very comfy! Happy new shoes!! ๐๐๐
Ooohhh I like!!
Hope they bring many happy miles.
๐๐๐
Gotta love the shoe porn! Enjoy testing them in the vineyards, and have a nice glass of grape juice after.
They are seriously nice shoes. Happy running in them.
Hey Sandie, so glad you you got on well at LR, shopping online is OK for some things but you can't try 7 pairs & get that level of analysis & advice unless you go to a place like LR! My final 2 pairs came down to hokas or brooks when I was there, could have so easily purchased both but I resisted the naughty credit card angel in my ear!
Wishing you many happy, injury free miles in them ๐
Remember that 5k equates to 3 larger glasses after conversion into euros, and an additional glass due to brexit! ๐ฅ
I got Hokas after a gait analysis,theyโve def made a difference to my running, health to run in them xx
Ooh lovely Sandie! Must be something in the air, I finally got new shoes too, I'll post a piccie later (apparently Baddiethepirate comes and makes you walk the plank if you don't. Or something like that.) Here's to new shoes! ๐ฅ And a few of these ๐ฅ while you're there, I suspect!?! Have a fabulous time.
They will serve you well. I'm just waiting for the Brooks Glazyrin 17 to be on sale.
New shoes โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ. Flying feet Sandie ๐
After a gait analysis in Truro while on holiday I too bought a pair of Hokas, I love mine and they have made a big difference. Happy days ๐
Ooh I got new shoes after gait analysis - and my first treadmill experience - today. A big shout out to Runners Retreat in Marlow for their help. While I was there a lady got some Hokas too. Mine are Miyuno though and like you i tried on several pairs before i got to them. When i work out how to add a photo, I'll try to do that. Hope they work out great.
Hope your new shoes have enjoyed their inaugural run?! I have Hokas too but yours are much snazzier. So glad I got them, I need the stability too and they haven't disappointed me. Bonnes vacances en Dordogne! X
