A short lived love affair πŸ’”

β€’8 Replies

My brief relationship with my new shoes wasn't as hoped, the Saucony Omni 19, apparently pronounced Sock-Uh-Knee 🀯..... Twas not to be for me tried a 2nd run the shoes affectionately named saucepans felt so stiff underfoot and just wouldn't give so hmmmm...

Whereas they felt grand in-store on the treadmill, outdoors is a whole new world, treadmills tend to be a little cushioned so probably don't quite give accurate feedback..... ( Purely my own opinion) so I got thinking and researching.

My over pronation is at worst so slight and my brooks adrenaline are a softer stability shoe, whereas the saucepans were a full-blown stability shoe.... Not needed in my case.

Further investigation and other runners do mix a normal shoe (neutral) with their stability shoes.....

And they all lived happily ever after πŸ‘πŸ₯°πŸ₯³.

Once again huge thanks to "Up and Running" staff in ChesterπŸ‘πŸ‘.... I'd narrowed the choice down to two shoes last night, whilst workplace googling πŸ™ƒ.

Contender 1 the brooks transcend πŸ€” mixed opinion.....

Contender 2 the brooks ghost 13 nightlife.

Slipping my foot into the ghost ahhhhhhh it was like that comfy armchair moment πŸ‘

Sorry to all saucepan wearers but they just weren't for me..........

Glad you got them changed, I bought myBrooks ghost 12 in March, due for renewal as they’re over 800k now but still feeling fantastic. Happy running πŸ€—

WOW GrannyH I hope mine serve me as well as yours have......πŸ‘

Okay, how many running shoes do you have now? I think this is all a secret ploy and you are really going to open your own shop!
