New shoes new shoes!

[grumpyoldgirl]

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! 😂

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 😊

Next we’ll have to try the trail shoes... I don’t have any but I do have a rain jacket

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Couchpotato2]

That'll do for starters CP!

Ooooo 2 pairs of gorgeous trainers GOG! How wonderful! 😀

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. 👍

Good to hear you’ve already given the other ones an outing too! Happy running. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to cheekychipmunks]

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 😁

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Downright rude I’d say! 😅

Nice. I like them both. Happy running.

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to damienair]

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. 😁

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Hidden]

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

[Wimborne]

❤️❤️❤️ they are lovely ❤️❤️

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Wimborne]

I'm very happy with them 😊

[Granspeed Graduate10]

Ooooh! Lovely! 👏🏼👏🏼 Can you hear me smacking my lips and drooling? Yummy. And so glad the feet are so happy. 😄😊🏃🏼‍♀️💨

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

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

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Tasha99]

Yep, hand over the card and close my eyes! 😂 I love the colour sooo much! I normally just have to have the pair that fits, it's usually a grey pair🙄. 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 £60 pair too, I'm a sucker for a "bargain"😁

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Ha ha yeah but they were white - impractical. Not you know the style you need, you can just type ‘women’s omni iso’ into google and find the cheapest pair 👌🏽 They are a new colourway hence the price 😍🥴

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Tasha99]

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

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

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

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Tasha99]

Thanks 👍

[uncle_wiggy]

Double purchase!! To think that I resisted doing exactly that when I went shopping!! 🤔 😯 😳 😵 😞 😥 😡

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to uncle_wiggy]

😁😁 sorry uncle wiggy, but I have now convinced myself that I have done a smart and sensible thing 🙄😂

[uncle_wiggy in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

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!

[Bridget007]

Lovely shoes 😍 both pairs are a lovely colour 😊 you’ll be flying round like a gazelle now 😃

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Bridget007]

Sadly I don't think they have magical powers Bridget, but in my head I'll be flying 😁

[Bridget007 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

And that’s what counts 😄

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Bridget007]

😂👍

[BarbieW Graduate10]

Gorgeous!

But then I just adore my own Saucony shoes. Happy running in those both.

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to BarbieW]

Thanks, and to you, BarbieW!

[Katnap Graduate10]

Oh no! You'll have to change your online name to 'notsogrumpyoldgirl' 😁

😸 Katnap 😸

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Katnap]

Hmmm, I certainly feel less grumpy of late 😎😁

[Jell6 Graduate10]

You are a spending fiend!!😈

Who could resist those though?

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Jell6]

Who me?!!😇 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. 💃🤸👟

[Zara2017]

They look lovely.

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Zara2017]

Thank you Zara 😊

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

Ooh lovely 😊 Happy running!

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Sandie1961]

Thanks Sandie, looks like we're all set 😊

[Pianism Graduate10]

Well done and what fantastic shoes! They really do make a difference, don't they.

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Pianism]

Thanks yes, I finally did it, and I'm just amazed how few aches and pains I have after my run.
