I posted the other day about advice on possible running socks that maybe keep your feet cooler . So got the socks Β£12.99 , never paid that for a pair of socks in my life . Now for a while I've wanted new trainers in a neon colour and I got them . Done a few measurements and got a half size bigger they're perfect.

Have a great weekend everyone πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Great on the new socks and shoes. I hope you have a lovely cool run. Amazing how much some socks cost. My walking socks and ski socks are about Β£20 a pair but they do the job perfectly and last years. Happy running πŸ€—

I am sure they will be very comfortable to run in, they look really nice, I am just back from my 8th virtual parkrun. 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

I will just tell people you said I'd earned them . My excuse for buying🀣🀣

Definitely! Every now and then we deserve something like this for all those runs in all those conditions. Hope you are wearing them around the house too first!!

Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply to

Yes I will wear them about the house today and tomorrow and try them on Monday. Long run day tomorrow so will just wear the ones I have 😊

Pretty ! Enjoy your run. Aldi sometimes do running socks which are good but feet still sweat a bit.

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toWomangolfer

I think our feet will sweat no matter what, I just thought I'd try new socks to see if there is any difference . Now just need to sort out the sweaty body🀣

Glad you've treated yourself to something you've been hankering after! I too am on the lookout for socks. I'll be getting some new trainers too as soon as I can get to a shop where I can get a gait analysis. I'll be buying a half size (at least) larger. I have square feet so my third toe is needing some more running space 😳 Enjoy your new trainers and I hope your socks live up to their reputation!

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply to59er

I was also after gait analysis after getting gift vouchers for my nearest running store in Glasgow. But they are all closed so I chose these online just now 😊

Just glancing at this thread and spotted the great sock debate 😊

I bought some Balega running socks from Amazon recently. I rate them very highly - I bought some years ago and they’ve finally given up the ghost after years of gym and frequent washing - they were recommended by our local running shop and I’ve never regretted the extra pounds (about 12-13 squids)

Highly recommend!!!

59erGraduate10β€’ in reply toAS60

Aaah Amazon! The only way to shop nowadays....I'll take a look and perhaps treat myself - because I'm worth it 🀣 well my feet are. Thank you!

Looking good!

Did you buy Hillys socks? If so, are they worth the money? I have some in my basket on Amazon - haven't pressed 'buy' yet. They're so expensive. πŸ™ˆ

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toSpeedy60

I bought Balega socks and yes they're better quality than the ones I have the now. 😊

Speedy60 profile image
Speedy60Graduate10β€’ in reply toBuddy34

I think I'm gonna go for it. I've got two cancelled holiday's worth of money to spend. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜†

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toSpeedy60

One of the reasons I went ahead and got new trainers when I really didn't need them just now as like you say we were supposed to go away on the 6th July 😊

Speedy60 profile image
Speedy60Graduate10β€’ in reply toBuddy34

A big birthday for me next month. The whole family had a villa booked in France. We've rebooked for the same week next year. Sixty one is where it's at.πŸ˜‰

Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toSpeedy60

Aww that's a shame , extra special celebration next year then πŸ₯³

Speedy60 profile image
Speedy60Graduate10β€’ in reply toBuddy34

Yeah, great year for lockdown. One wedding gone, my mum's 90th birthday this week, my 60th and our 40th wedding anniversary. πŸ™„

I'm not complaining, as long as we're all still here to celebrate next year. 🀞

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toSpeedy60

Yes exactly , I would have been away and celebrating my 1st wedding anniversary had we been going in July😊

59er profile image
59erGraduate10β€’ in reply toSpeedy60

Haha as well as the postponed wedding we have in common it is our 40th wedding anniversary in June too! Plans for a trip to Biarritz also down the Swanee but like you say as long as we're all fit and well, that's good enough.

I use the Hillys Twin Skins. Find them very comfortable, no blisters and keep my feet from getting too sweaty.

Love the new trainers πŸ‘ŸπŸ‘

I never thought I’d pay so much for a pair of socks either, but those Balega socks are great I think and worth the money.

Happy running πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘

The way I look at it now I used to spend £70 a week on cigarettes gave up 7 years ago so nice to spend money on something worthwhile 😊

MartinKH profile image
MartinKHGraduate10β€’ in reply toBuddy34

That’s a great way to look at it , use the money for better things.

I’ve been off the ciggies 7 years too, and feel so much better for it.

Thanks Damien I wanted something bright for a change and was supposed to get trainers with my gift vouchers for a running shop near me but they're closed as you know so after some research got these 😊😊

How's your socks and which ones did you get?

I've started treating myself to a new piece of running gear every month, this month I bought Under Armour compression shorts and have decided I'm not quite ready for those just yet!

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toRigpig

The socks really do work and my feet weren't as sweaty or hot. I bought Balega ones. What you waiting for get out in your shorts I did it 2 weeks ago it feels so different 😊😊

Rigpigβ€’ in reply toBuddy34

Oh yes, I wear shorts all the time but I bought compression shorts online, was not aware of how much they hug all the contours :-)
