Change of shoes

[ForbiddenPlanet]

414 km since December has take its toll on my "Aldi Premium" trainers which are down to the midsole on the left forefoot. Rested for a couple of days to wait out a niggle, so looking forward to getting out tomorrow morning in new Reebok shoes, when I plan to walk \ run my usual route, to ease back in.

Shoes wearing out took me by surprise, as I'm used to hiking trainers lasting much longer, but I have read that running can put 7 times body weight through your shoes, which in my case is quite a lot!

Those aldi shoes have done you proud FP🙂👍

I agree, absolutely - they sat in the box for more than 5 years after I bought them, which probably didn't help.

Ahhhh perhaps they had degraded a little but still!!! Fantastic value 👍👍

You got good wear out of them though. Enjoy your new flyers 🙂

Thanks IP - maybe I'll catch up to you one day. (OK - wishful thinking!) 🤣

Good luck in your new shoes! Let us know how they feel when you've settled in them!

Thanks GTFC. They're my first "proper" running shoes so I'm looking forward to finding out. 👍
