New purchase!

[Leosmit]

My trainers are about 8 years old, so decided to go to a ‘proper running shop’, splash out and get new trainers. Toss up between these and ASICS. I’ve been staring at them and smelling them (new trainers such a nice smell!!) since I got them this morning!

[TortoiseTrail 60minGraduate]

Fab shoes!

I bought Mizunos after my daughter encouraged me to go for gait analysis and they’ve served me very well 😊 Happy running!

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to TortoiseTrail]

I had never heard of the brand before. But seem very comfy.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Brilliant, you will really notice the difference running in new ones. Have fun.. happy running 🤗

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thank you GH. Seems like such a treat!

[Forest_Run_Beginner Graduate10]

Fab new shoes and what a gorgeous colour, I'm sure you'll notice the difference compared to your old pair when you take them out for a spin.

Enjoy and happy running

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Forest_Run_Beginner]

I’m really hoping that I’ll notice a good difference. Won’t get out until tomorrow so I’ll have to wait and see.

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Forest_Run_Beginner]

Also, how are your brooks doing?

[Forest_Run_Beginner Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

I'm sure you will, you'll be running on clouds

The new Brooks are great thank you, I've only managed to get out in them twice so far as not been feeling well but planning to try a long slow run at the weekend. So far, so very good though, thank you for asking.

Enjoy, let us know how your first outing is and happy, comfy running

Lovely new shoes, I wonder if your new running shoes will still have "such a nice smell" after you have ran 10K in them. 😊 🏃🏾

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

Alan, reckon we all know the answer to that one!! 🤣🤣

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Love the shoes Leosmit, I'm sure you'll notice a big difference when running . 😊

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks buddy! It’s rather exciting getting yourself kitted out.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

Yes it is😊

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

What a gorgeous colour Leosmit! May they give you many happy miles!

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thank you OGR!

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Love your new shoes. My OH wears mizunos too

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

Great minds and all that!

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

They are lovely 😍 colour is fab! Happy 1st run in them

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Mum22boys]

10k today and all good with the trainers. Sun on my face though wasn’t so nice, cue the exploded tomato look.

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

Isn't it bad when we're hoping for cloud and rain in the summer so we can run more comfortably!! Did you find they gave you an extra something?? Hopefully no issues and they were nice and comfy

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Mum22boys]

I was hoping that they would be so fab that I would just ‘float’ along but they’re not miracle workers! Funny, you posted that you old trainers too small, I had the same issue and have gone up a size. In comparison, more roomy and felt very comfortable. Also, this might sound weird, but I also felt more secure/confident in them.

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

It doesn't sound weird at all. When we spend that much money on them we have to feel good in them and I think safe and secure is really important. It was one of the reasons I picked mine

Love these and love the colour 💚

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, GTFC.

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Happy New Shoes! May you do many miles together.

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fionamags]

Hope so, FM! Thank you.

[Kat332zz Graduate10]

So pretty. My old trainers were Mizuno, had them for donkeys years and they lasted well, but that was before running, am tempted to try them again, will watch for you updates on how they go, or at least how you go in them😀

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Kat332zz]

What are you currently wearing?

[Kat332zz Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

I now have three, Merrell with gortex trail shoes, Brooks that I got for the gym and Altra that fit well but the low heel drop kills me, use them infrequently when I know I’m going to do mostly walking.

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Kat332zz]

Brooks seem to be a popular choice. I like that you have a little range to choose from!

[Kat332zz Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

I appreciate that now especially as I’ve just started a Lands End to John o Groats virtual challenge, don’t think a single pair would cope with it too well.

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Kat332zz]

😱😱 wow! I’ll follow you to follow you progress. How exciting (and slightly crazy!! 😉).

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10]

They are beautiful 😍

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to BeetrootFace77]

Thank you!

[Runcat77 Graduate10]

Fab shoes 😍 here's to many happy runs in them!

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Runcat77]

I’m slightly hoping they’re miracle shoes and no effort whatsoever required...
