Or at least, that is what it felt like! It was my first run in my lovely new Skechers GoRun Ride 3 shoes. The nice lady who sold them to me recommended getting used to them gradually because they are constructed quite differently to my usual running shoes - they encourage you to forefoot strike which is better for you but uses slightly different muscles. But being me, I wore them for my graduation run and so far, I don't seem to be suffering any more than usual... Watch this space! They are amazingly comfortable though, really like wearing slippers and you feel much more in contact with the ground, if that makes sense! However, I have no idea why my profile photo of them insists on coming out upside down! :)

The shoes look good, must be great if they're feeling like slippers! Sorry I can't help with your photo- I just thought they were dancing on the ceiling x

I'm not sure. They are supposed to suit most people because the adjust to your gait but it might be best to get some specialist advice. It's a lot of money to waste!
