I've posted this over on C25K too. But what really caught my eye was the nifty 'hole in toe' repair patch as I know quite a few of us, including me, have experienced this premature death to shoes.
(Also loved the last suggestion on the list)
I am also a fan of the last item as a post run treat! Love a browse at kit. It always intrigues me that trainers make it on to “buy this as a gift” list. I can’t imagine trying to choose trainers for someone else. How do you get the right size? I’m between a 5.5 and 7.5 depending on the brand. Not that I’d say no to new shoes as a gift!!
I think it is for people who don't do surprises (or not for this sort of thing anyway!) I've certainly been asked for contributions to running shoes and I know my brother has got himself shoes that have come out of my mother's funds, by way of a Christmas or birthday gift (and boy has he earned them...)
Yes, UTS once wrapped a Brooks shoe box which contained a gift voucher from our local running shop. A much safer option.
The patches look great if they stay on . Our running shop offers a service of having a patch sewn in new shoes for those who regularly wear holes at the toe. Since UTS swapped from Mizuno and New Balance to Brooks it hasn’t been happening though. I guess they have a bigger toe box.
I’d definitely add running books to that list - great for cheaper presents.
What a wonderful list…although I have lots of those things already! I would definitely like the big toe armour patches though!! Thank you for posting.🙂
What a brilliant gift list too! Those toe patches are genius 🤯
Sad but I have to run.....
New Year - New Shoes!
Last shoe post, i promise 😁
