So good I bought them twice...

At long last, I finally made it to runners world, got my gait assessed and bought these beauties. The lovely Alex helped me out. As suspected I need stability shoes, and to my delight, the pretty ones were the best fit! I was so delighted, I also bought a pair of trail shoes. Last year's model so a bit of a bargain, thank you Alex. They are the ones with the tasteful yellow strip around the sole. 😎 I run a lot of footpaths which are usually in good nick, but they can get slippy and muddy, and with my dodgy ankle I think I deserve to treat myself. Don't anybody argue now! πŸ˜‚

I've already given my new blue beauties a little jog out with CP2, and my feet feel strangely well since then. I was not expecting that! Result!!

Happy running everyone 😊

Ooooo 2 pairs of gorgeous trainers GOG! How wonderful! πŸ˜€

You won’t know yourself in your trail shoes. They have revolutionised the way I run when the footing is less than perfect! Enjoy them. πŸ‘

Good to hear you’ve already given the other ones an outing too! Happy running. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

I almost didn't, but the guy was so knowledgeable and helpful, I knew I could trust him. And at reduced price, well, it would have been rude not to 😁

Thanks, it's been a long time coming :)

I always buy whatever's on sale, so I tend to go through different brands, but I loved my Saucony, I didn't even feel the ground, like running on pillows, and they were so light. Enjoy. 😁

I think I made a little "ooohhh" sound as I put them on, it was meant to be!

I’ve got these! Cost me Β£125. I swear by them! I could’ve got a different colourway for Β£60 though πŸ€”πŸ€£ 3rd pair now.

grumpyoldgirlβ€’ in reply toTasha99

Yep, hand over the card and close my eyes! πŸ˜‚ I love the colour sooo much! I normally just have to have the pair that fits, it's usually a grey pairπŸ™„. Now that I know what works, I expect I'll stick with these too. It's good to know they work for you too. Got to say, I would've probably got the Β£60 pair too, I'm a sucker for a "bargain"😁

Ha ha yeah but they were white - impractical. Not you know the style you need, you can just type β€˜women’s omni iso’ into google and find the cheapest pair πŸ‘ŒπŸ½ They are a new colourway hence the price 😍πŸ₯΄

grumpyoldgirlβ€’ in reply toTasha99

Ah no, nobody wants the white ones! Good idea though Tasha, but I should probably leave it a month or two 😬

They should last you up to 6 months. Depends how quickly you wear the treads down,

I think so too GOG, just annoyed with myself, altho neither of my fav 2 pairs were reduced price! Hope they give you many miles of on & off road pleasure!

Who me?!!πŸ˜‡ I'm hoping I've got all the spending over with for a while jell, I hate shopping for shoes normally, because nothing ever fits, so I'm doing a little a little happy dance. πŸ’ƒπŸ€ΈπŸ‘Ÿ
