Ok, ok, here you go .. Brooks Vapor 3 as supplied by Lincolnshire Runner £75 from £110 as they are now last season's colour scheme. Spent half an hour under the knowledgeable gaze of staff as they analysed my running style, previous injuries & preference .. what a fantastic place !

Very nice, but a tad too clean. Never mind, it won't last long :)

They are discounting them because they are last years colours??? Dang - I've heard it all now! :)

So they say .. colour is clearly more relevant to comfort, performance & support to more than I considered !

Sure you want to be seen out in last years colours!!!

Really they look great - and a bargain to boot

Indeed. There's nothing better than opening the box of a new pair to be greated by the familiar smell of potential. Granted the whiff of rubber is also present, but it's mainly that of potential!!

Familiar ? smell of potential .. how poetic ! Not so much familiar but welcome all the same !

Rest assured, as mileage increases, resulting in more frequent visits to the running shop, you'll grow to appreciate what I'm referring to

I always buy previous years models. Some colours are more popular so they charge quite a bit extra. Cheek!

Oooh Brooks! I have several pairs. I currently trail run in Brooks Cascadias and like them very much, so I'm sure you'll be fine in those.

Cool runnings!

Aah! Had wondered about gracing there with my presence 😁 Maybe when I upgrade (have some cash!) Nice footwear. Hope they make you run like the wind 🌪👟🏃👟🏃

I can TOTALLY recommend them ... Unbelievable service that clearly demonstrates a passion for running and going for repeat business through great customer service rather than making a quick pound from someone in case they don't come back in future !

Not what you're looking for?
