Got these beauties today, the most money I have ever spent on new shoes of any type ! Brooks Ghost 8 OMG I just floated in them They replaced really cheap Karimoor Trail Shoes which have served me well but real road shoes should put less strain on my knees ! As in my previous post I went to Runners Need (Port Solent, Portsmouth) The staff were so helpful and knowledgeable
They watched me run up and down in their shop many times as I am rubbish on the treadmill. My only criticism, they put the best shoes on first and everything else did not compare, oh well comfort is all that matters
I did get the offer of price match or 10% off so not so bad

I have two pairs of cheap running shoes which are ok for now but when I run on grass,mother mesh on them allows all the water to soak my socks, even the "trail running shoes". Don't want to run on Tarmac all winter though 😐 Julie

They are objects of great beauty! As others have said, putting on the right running shoe is like putting on a slipper, a magic one at that! My own magic slippers are ASIC Gel Kayanos and they are so comfy. Enjoy your first run in them.😀
Lovely shoes! I've just gone the other way and bought some trail shoes and they are so stiff. Do you think they'll soften up eventually? I was fitted for them in an excellent running shop, but I certainly couldn't call them comfy yet!
I'm sorry I don't know even my cheap trail shoes were comfy from the start Maybe ask on here ? good luck !

New trainers - I never used to get excited about them but now I'm like a kid who got what they wanted from Santa!

Alexandra Sports in Portsmouth (just by the Mountbatten Centre) is always very good. They start with a bio mechanical analysis of your feet and posture, then have you run outside. They only go to the treadmill and gait analysis if it's not clear at that point. I also run in Brooks, I have the Adrenalines, they are extremely comfortable. So good I also bought some Brooks walking shoes.
