New shoes alert!

[David_G]

Hi everyone, following my injury and recent gait analysis, the shoes that were recommended to me have arrived and I love them!😍 The custom insoles that they ordered for me from the US have also arrived, so I’m going to pick them up and try them out under supervision on Saturday.

Mum’s giving me the shoes for Christmas so the prospects for running properly again in 2023 are very good! 🏃‍♂️👍

Very swish. Are they Brooks Adrenaline? I love mine. They are really stable and comfortable. I use them for most of my running; trails and road. I like the 12mm heel drop which is good for my achilles. I have needed to strengthen my calves to accommodate the additional loading, but it didn’t take long. You have been doing loads of rehab anyway. Wishing you many happy Ks /miles.👍

thanks Beachcomber66 yes, they are Adrenaline GTS 22s. I’ve used them before and really like them!

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

I am on my third pair! I use cloud flyers for short quicker runs (recommended by physio!!) . They felt good on their only outing so far. They are 10mm heel drop I think.

[David_G in reply to Beachcomber66]

Thanks Beachcomber66 I’ll ask the physio what he recommends when I’m back to running properly again. I’ve got some Hyperion Tempos which have never let me down, and I’ll be able to swap the insoles I’ve got too!

The main thing is that you are on the comeback trail.👍

I’ve been using Brooks Adrenalines the past 3 years, great shoe. Getting my 5th pair for Christmas, and I bought a pair on Black Friday. The last two pairs I used in rotoation to run and train for two marathons this year , I’ll retire both of them on December 31st when (hopefully) my goal of running 1000 miles this year will be met. 😀

[David_G in reply to Bladerunner2049]

They really seem to suit me Bladerunner2049 👍 I’ve got two pairs coming for Christmas, these and a pair that are silver and orange. I imagine I’ll use them in rotation too. If I can get up to 1,000 miles in 2023 I’ll be ecstatic! 🏃‍♂️😃

[JonathanP Graduate10]

I hope you and your shoes will both be very happy David!😀

Lovely new shoes David ✨👟✨ - here’s wishing you many happy miles together!🤞🙂

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

I wear GTS Atrenaline 22s as well. The 23s will be coming soon, so no doubt I’ll try them too.

Glad to hear it’s all coming together for you David. The insoles might feel a bit strange to begin with but I’m sure you’ll get used to them.
