Shoe Porn alert!

When I bought my first running shoes at my fabulous local independent sports shop I was very disappointed that the best fitting trainers were pink......I am so not a pink girl! They have been amazing trainers. So almost 12 months later and realising I got 50% off a pair due to my life insurance....I treated myself to these beauties!! I ummed and ahhed as I really wanted to support my fab local shop but couldn’t justify a full price pair. Who’s have thought 18 months ago I’d like running or now be the proud owner of two pairs of expensive trainers. Looking forward to taking them for a spin. Happy running everyone!

They look lovely and will give you many happy hours running

I’m sort of with you on the pink, but I was a little disappointed that my new expensive running shoes only came in black but you never know my next pair may be pretty

Glad it’s not just me.....tried on about 10 pairs and they were mostly lovely and colourful and then I end up with dusty pink! They have been ace though! I had narrow feet as a kid so only one style of school shoe ever fit me.....I learnt early on to just not look or lust after footwear!!

Me too, I have a heel raise in my left one and orthotic insoles in both but it means my spine is now straight I don’t ache in every joint and can run without limping

One day last week was rushing to get out for a run put the insole in right trainer and not sure how but just put left one on so i ran with a bobbing gait and aches afterwards, didn’t notice until we started warm up walk lol 😂 it was most strange

Lovely shoes, I also bought a new pair of running shoes yesterday, it is mandatory for runners here to post photos of their new shoes the day they buy them, you don't need to tell anyone on how much they were but if you get 50% off, that's fine 😊👍

Tomorrow Wednesday I am going to run a 'slow' 5K to "run them in" I will run on a muddy part of what I call "The ButtercupKid 5K trail" that is named after a lady who inspired us all with her runs about 18 months ago, she has autism as well as her husband and two boys.

I am glad that you like my new running shoes. 😊 🏃🏾

I have these! Took 4 or 5 runs to get legs used to them (alternating with old ones) but all good now. I love the cushioning and support. Enjoy 😊
