New shoes post!

I’m never too sure about posting shoe porn on such an august site as the Bridge but I’m assured it’s OK. So as some of you who read my earlier post will already know, I had an appointment at our local independent running shop this afty and am now the proud owner of a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS20s, in a natty shade of grey to match my lockdown hair and with a flash of pink to match my skin tone whenever I’m running! I’m looking forward to trying them out!

Now what a great idea, my new shoes are black and i hadn’t thought of cheering them up with bright laces

You should have some old "Race for Life" pink laces somewhere that might do the job ....

Whoop whoop! Two posts in one day. These look very stealth like Oldgirlruns. You’ll be sneaking up on Billy when pArkrun resumes.

Probably a short trot on Thursday I think Buddy as I ran this morning. I’ll wear them round the house tomorrow though!

Now that is one sleek pair of runners OGR. I hope they give you many happy miles of running.🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ I’m sure I need a new pair of trail shoes by now, and all this recent shoe porn is giving me intense FOMO. I think I’d better do something about it. 😈

Go for it cheeky, you know you want to! I’m still mithering over trail shoes - was almost ready to buy before lockdown!

These look awesome!

Well done you and well deserved too. I wish you many happy runs in them.

Happy running in them. Brooks are great and have served me well. I’ve had GTS17 and GTS19 shoes. I have 930 Km’s on my Brooks GTS19’s , need new shoes myself now.

Thank you Damien! I didn’t bother with my first pair but think I’ll add the new pair to my Garmin stats and track their progress!

damienairAdministrator in reply to Oldgirlruns

Yes it’s great. I only use my Brooks Shoes for running and have them on my Garmin Connect App. So their mileage is logged. They recommend to change them at around 800 kilometres. Mine are still fine and comfortable at 930, but are starting to look a little tired now.

Fab shoes, lovely to see them! I’m in GTS19s and love them, and before long I’ll be needing to replace them 👏🏻 I’ll definitely be going for GTS again.

Lovely shoes OGR and that splash of pink is lovely, so wish I could wear slim shoes like that. Big envious sigh. 😊
