As is mandatory on the forum, here is a pic of my new Saucony Hurricane ISO 5 road shoes. They are a support shoe and quite cushioned. I’ve just gone for a test 2k (my first run in the dark!) and first impressions are good, but I needed a bit of calf stretch after. This may be because they have an 8mm drop compared to 12mn in my current shoes. I have some heel lifts which I might try on my next test run. They look a bit like my first running shoes Brooks GTS 18 and have a nice wide toe box. Fingers crossed I’ve made the right purchase🤞

Indeed it is mandatory on this forum to show everyone your new shoes, it was the very first photo I sent of my new running shoes 😊 🏃🏾.
Lovely shoes for running on the road, I hope quite countryside roads, not busy roads.
I hope the 2K test run went fine in the dark, I am sure you have made the right purchase. 😊 🏃🏾

Oh my word, they are freaking gorgeous, my favourite colour, mmm Hope they give you many happy hours out on the road mWhere do you get your heel lifts?
Thank you - they look a lot brighter in real life. The heel lifts were from my local running shop; they do lots of different ones so you can take your shoes in and try the samples out to find the best for you.
Brilliant thank you, i wear a heel lift in my left shoe to correct a shorter leg level my hips and allow me free movement, i will find some and look at heights
Bit brighter i’m really drooling now
😛🤣🤣
So do I. Is yours caused by a wooden leg and hook hand too? ☠️

Very nice looking running shoes you have there! I do love my saucony's, very comfy! 👍

Very pretty

Ooooo likey likey. Did you plan to get that particular brand/model? They’re very smart. 😍
I’m transferring to my “best” pair of Brooks Revel 2’s soon, and retiring my old pair. They’ve served me well, but I’ll need a new best pair obviously! 😈
It’s coming up for my 3rd year and I wanted to get some before my others were too far gone, so I can alternate a bit. I think I’ve chosen my trails too but no time to test run so far. They are also Saucony.

Lovely!! I still chuckle to myself when I think of my shoe buying experience - tried on lots of different ones in some gorgeous colours like yours but unfortunately the best fit ended up being a dusky yukky pink colour - you guessed it, really dislike pink. They live by the front door so I get to smile at them every day 😊 they are super comfy so the shop was correct.
There’s no doubt that the fit is the most important thing. This style came in lots of colours, some of which I didn’t like very much, but I was lucky to find this in my size.

Very nice always like new shoes
Running shop and local race track are next to each other so it's a nice 2 mile test lap on grass and tarmac to see if there OK
But I'm always disappointed how fast nice shoes die only got 500km out my last brooks or 6 months ish
Fantasticoodo! Snazzy! and nice colour too. Many happy comfy runs🏃♀️🏃♀️
👏👍🤗

Oh very nice Dexy5 , I wish you at least 800 km of very happy and comfy running in them. I have just passed 600 km in my Brooks GTS 19’s. I’ll be shopping for new running shoes in April.
Cheers,
Damien
I’d be very surprised to get that mileage Damien. I read that men’s running shoes are made with tougher soles than women’s so I think 600 might be the limit. I haven’t tried the 20s yet but there are some good deals on the 19s now if you want to have a pair in waiting, or to alternate.
SaxartGraduate10
I love the colour and Saucony running shoes are very comfortable. 🏃♀️
Love the colour enjoy!!!

Next time I see you, you’re going to have to explain the difference 4mm makes ....... - but they’re a cracking colour!
They are actually turquoise, rather than the jade they look here.
4mm between heel and toe doesn’t sound much but as quoted
“In general, a shoe with a higher drop will be easier on the lower leg—foot, ankle, Achilles, calf—while directing more stress to the knees and hips, So a lower-drop shoe will typically spare the knees but put more stress on the lower leg. “
The lower drop should be fine with my forefoot running but I did notice a stretch in the calves and Achilles last night. Just a case of getting used to them I guess.
Ah, I see. I think. See ya!
It’s the difference in height between the heel and sole. Most standard running shoes are between 8 and 12. Brooks Adrenalines are 12, the Mizunos I have are 10s. If you heel strike you are probably best in this sort of range. There are lower profile shoes - I had a successful period of running in 4mm Brooks Pure Cadence before they were discontinued. There are also zero drop shoes. Lower profile shoes are aimed at forefoot strikers, but they also appeal to people who don’t like to feel they are running on vast blocks of foam. To my surprise the fancy Nike shoes used by Kipchoge to try to break the 2 hour marathon are also 12s whereas I expected elite runners to want lower profile shoes.

Ooh, they're lovely....my Brooks Ghost 11's have a nice wide toe box too, would defo look for that next time 👍
Hope they are the perfect pair for you 😁
RaspberrypinkGraduate10
Very nice. I got some new trainers for Christmas. They are now quite muddy 😞
A brush off and a wipe down and I’m sure you can get them back to lovely.
JazzyrunnerGraduate10
Gorgeous shoes! I love that colour 😍
DebstonGraduate10
Lovely! My Sauconys are a similar colour but covered in mud at the moment - your post has reminded me to clean them up!
It’s a shame they don’t stay beautiful for ever

I think the word is stylish Dexy! Hope they do you proud!👍

It’s all getting better again... had to take to time off, find my head and get back into the right mindset... but I’m back! Missed you guys.
We’ve missed you too.

They are LOVELY Dexy! Such a nice green. I wish you many happy miles in them. 😘
They are actually bright turquoise Sadie, but changed colour in LED light.
TailChaserGraduate10
Nice ones Dexy! Is that the Ghosts you’re changing from?
No the GTS19s. I tried these in a running shop last year and it was between the 2.
Not what you're looking for?
