So excited. New shoes.

[Pushing60]

I've finally taken the bull by the horns and been for a gait analysis and bought new shoes. Wasn't anywhere near as embarrassing as I thought it would be. Settled on these as they are so comfortable and apparently corrected the over pronation of my left foot. Had to get a whole size bigger than my normal everyday shoes and half size up from my cheap Tesco trainers.

I didn't go for the orthopaedic insoles for an extra £45! Seemed a little much on top of the mortgage for the new shoes (hope they're worth it).

Will be taking these out for a test run tomorrow hopefully (W6 R1), although my left foot is still feeling slightly achey. Will take it easy and stop if it gets worse again.

Now, they are very smart! I love the colour! Not enough info though, what brand are they? I covet Asics myself!

[Pushing60 Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you Sandra. These are Nike Air Zoom. I had intended to get Asics but these were more comfortable.

I never thought I would buy such colourful shoes, I'm more of a 'Plain Jane', guess running is bringing out a different side to me.

Pretty! I hope they give you many hours of pain free running

[Pushing60 Graduate in reply to cathalicious]

Thank you. Me too!

Loving that colour.... !

Great shoes, hope they work well for you too! Week 6... well on the journey... onwards and upwards!

[Pushing60 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you. Can't wait to graduate and call myself a proper runner.

[90ldfinch Graduate in reply to Pushing60]

I think that as you've been for a gait analysis, you're already a proper runner.

Those shoes look ace- same colour as my running face!

[Pushing60 Graduate in reply to 90ldfinch]

Thank you. That made me chuckle. I hadn't thought of the colour co-ordination aspect. 😀

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Pushing60]

I think you can say that already!

Liking the new trainers. Good luck with run tomorrow.

[Dunder2004 Graduate]

Very nice. You should feel a big difference with them.

[DiamonteSandal]

Splendid! And I thoroughly approve of the colour

I noticed a massive difference in comfort after getting mine. I'm sure you will too!

[JLT52 Graduate]

Loving those, will think of the pink lady as I run tomorrow also w6run1.

[Bundoodle Graduate]

Oooo - they're a bit special ☺

[PippiRuns]

Nice! (as my 12 year old would put it)

[Scoobydavid Graduate]

Gorgeous!

[nhs2015 Graduate]

Beautiful. Love the colour. Check how to tie your shoelaces. If you do a loop it will stay in place nicely and be more comfortable.

[LessToLose Graduate]

Oh - they are lovely! Want.

[pinklady2499 Graduate]

I'm a huge fan of pink runners. Love love love these beauties!

[PippiRuns]

I got the same! Different colours but same design. Mine are blue where yours are violet, and pink where yours are blue

[Paola100 Graduate]

I like them!!! I love the colour!
