Yeah they're pretty snazzy. According to the box they are "poppy red" so that should please pops :)

I thought we should change them once every 500 miles. Mine have done around 400 miles. May be I should replace them now. BTW these look great.

I went to my local running shop and had my gait analyzed. I'm hoping for improvements :)

If your not getting any aches & pains in ankle or knee then should be OK, most running shoe's have an average life expectancy of about 300-600 miles

Oh my! Simply .....red ( see what I did there? Well I though it was funny!)

They are brilliant.. and are sure to make you run faster...like your feet are on fire, ( in a good way)... I bet you cannot wait until you 'hot-foot' it out on a run with our lovely aliboo70 ?

Okay I will stop now.. they are very impressive... many happy runs x

They are quite different to other shoes aren't they? I imagine little springs hidden in the soles, you'll be bouncing along! Love the colour too x

paulb67 profile image
paulb67Graduate in reply toCurlygurly2

Very different to my old ones curly. I'm hoping for a good improvement. They're really light too x
