Brookes Glycerin ☺️

I went had my first gait analysis in a proper Running shop..

I'm a neutral runner 😊 and these beauties were what I've decided on..

Even got a 5% discount because I'm part of the C25K community 👏👏👏

Tried on quite a few pairs.. but these feel just right.. and so comfortable 🙏

Ooh bring on tomorrow's 10K 🏃‍♀️🎉

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

They look lovely, wishing you many happy miles in them

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you 😊 I'm so excited 🤣

[Mormor1 Graduate10]

How different do they feel to your old ones Sparky?

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Mormor1]

So much more cushioning more space in my toe box area..just so comfortable feeling..I will report back after a run tomorrow.. I also got a 5% discount because I'm part of the C25K community 👏👏👏

[Comfortnotspeed Graduate10]

😍😍😍ooh beauties

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Very nice ! 😍Enjoy the mile's in them 😁👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

They are great shoes for running, I should know as I have a pair. 👍🏃🏾

[Hidden]

Very nice😍 give us an update when you’ve worn them awhile. I wear a comfy pair of ASICS gel Cumulus, a far cry from the black canvas plimsoll’s I wore on cross country in school decades ago!!

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I will Dave.. I was just Running in cheap ones from sports direct, but they done the job.. but I felt now I'm getting near to the HM distance I want to make sure my shoes are going to help stop any problems arising ☺️ and with these if I'm not happy with them I have a 90day return policy on them 👏

[Hidden in reply to sparky66]

Good running shoes are the most important of all running gear, and you chose well!

[Hidden]

Sparky you wil not be disappointed! I wear Brooks Aduro and I love them. They look so lush . Nice colour! Have many happy running day in them ! I have two pairs and a pair of Asics trails but I much prefer my Brooks.👍🥳🥳👏

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks.. it was a lot of money to spend, but.. really worth the investment.. looking forward to getting out tomorrow 👍

[KevinFG Graduate10]

Congrat's on the new shoes enjoy them another Brooks fan here I have Ghost 11's totally worn out and relegated to Gardening, Ghost 13's for those easy days, Ricochets for the faster stuff and Cascadia for the trails, must admit my recent addition to the collection are Reebok though Floatride 3's so plush and comfortable feel like I could Run for ever in those.

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to KevinFG]

Ooh you sound like an expert in shoe porn 🤣

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

They look fab - and an Instagram-worthy photo too!😍🙂

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you ☺️

[Dups Graduate10]

They look great. I’m treating myself to some next week when I visit my daughter in Newcastle. I had a gait analysis done there 2 years ago where I bought brookes vapour 4 for my over pronation. They were perfect👌

Enjoy tomorrow’s run in your new trainers 😊

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Dups]

Thanks Dups.. ooh lovely.. happy shoe shopping 🎉🏃‍♀️

[sofaspud]

Oooh - lovely! Enjoy your run tomorrow!

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to sofaspud]

Thanks I hope I do, was intending a 10K but worried I might need to break them in.. guess I will find out soon 👍

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to sparky66]

Gorgeous...you don't seem to need to break in new running shoes, maybe as we buy them to be roomy...I've had 2 pairs of Brooks and both times just carried on as usual with no problems 😊

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Well I ran 12K this morning in them.. and they were brilliant.. so there we go.. 👍😀

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to sparky66]

Brilliant, well done you 🏃‍♀️😊

[Time_Lord]

They look fab Sparky. I wear Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21. Happy Running.

[CaptFrey 60minGraduate]

Those are things of beauty 🤗

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to CaptFrey]

Ooh they are and ran in them this morning.. brilliant 👏

[CBDB Graduate10]

I just bought my first fitted shoes last week, but I am already jealous just seeing yours! How can that be! 🤣🤣

Enjoy! 👍🏽🏃🏽‍♀️

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

Ooh I can feel a shoe fettish collection coming on 🤣

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Beautiful, I love Brooks , currently on my 3rd pair of brooks ghost. I hope you have many happy miles running in them 🤗

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Are you in Ghost 13s Grannyhugs?...I had 11s which were perfect, then got the 12s and they didnt feel as roomy in the forefoot/toe box so had to change them for the wider fit, which I love but do have to wear thick running socks. Great for winter but a bit too warm for the summer! Wondering what the sizing is like for the 13s in relation to previous models 🤔

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

I had 12s then this is my 2nd pair of 13s - running too many kms😂. Finding them more comfortable than my 12s were. Never felt comfy walking in 12s but running was fine so following what you’re suggesting maybe they have made 13s wider🤗

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks for the info GH 👍

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Well Grannyhugs after today's successful run outing I can't praise them enough 🌟

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to sparky66]

Fantastic 🤗

[D25K]

New running shoes are SO exciting aren't they?! 🤣 Have fun in them and good luck with your run today - have you decided to go for the 10K or break them in slowly?

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to D25K]

They definitely are!!Really enjoyed my run in them this morning.. and they aided me a 10K personal best .. so comfortable 👏🏃‍♀️

[D25K in reply to sparky66]

Wow awesome!! 👏🏼🌟

[Sparkey5000 60minGraduate]

Love the new trainers!! Very smart indeed. Happy running x

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Sparkey5000]

Thank you 😊

[Skiddle1 Graduate10]

Nice!! Good luck on the 10k. ☺️

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Skiddle1]

Excellent 12K run in them this morning 👏

Thanks ☺️👍

[Teddybob Graduate10]

Oooo new running shoes lovely!

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Teddybob]

😊🏃‍♀️ thanks

[Raisemeup 60minGraduate]

They look so good they make me want to get on with getting a new pair for Summer and 'cleaner' condition runs! I have my trusty Brooks Adrenaline which have carried me well through Autumn and winter, but are quite grimey looking now. I'll keep them for a winter shoe and get an exciting, new pair like yours. I'll probably stick to Brooks as I trust them!Enjoy your runs as you and your shoes become one! 😄

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Raisemeup]

After this morning's test run... I'm hooked..they were just fab 👏🌟

I now know why so many recommend them 😊

[Raisemeup 60minGraduate]

It's a bit of a mantra, but it really is true that taking time to have a proper running shoe fitting makes a world of difference. It is giving yourself the best possible chance of running without damage to the body. Once the correct shoe and size for your own particular gait is found, you can buy online if you want to, but initially the analysis is invaluable.We all accept check ups are important for our teeth - same principle really, but for our feet 😁

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Raisemeup]

Well said 👏👏👏

[Oldrockchick 60minGraduate]

Enjoy them. They look great!

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Oldrockchick]

Thanks ☺️

[Bladerunner2049 Graduate10]

I love mine 😃

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Bladerunner2049]

It's no wonder Brooks give C25K members a 5% discount 🤣 the amount of raving about them we do 😀

[Bladerunner2049 Graduate10 in reply to sparky66]

Last year I bought my first pair of Brooks, the GTS19s, thus year I bought the GTS21s and a pair of Transcends. I'll be buying another pair of GTS21s again. Great shoe. I'm sure you'll live them.

Didn't know about the discount 🤔

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Bladerunner2049]

Neither did I it was the guy in the shop after I mentioned C25K he said Brooks give the discount 👍

[Katnap Graduate10]

How did your 10k go?

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Hiya Katnap ☺️Well my 10K turned into a 12K 🏃‍♀️💪

My Brook's just ran for me 🤣🤣

They made such a difference..I could feel the benefits of a decent shoe all the way.. can't tell you how pleased I am with my purchase 👏🏃‍♀️☀️

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to sparky66]

💪🐱👍
