I do think it is hilarious that the local independent running shop uses plain brown bags - like we have something to hide! 😃 Though it must be said I did hide them from the other half in case he asked me how much they cost 😶
poppypug was closest: for her guess I will do 1 Parkrun.
Cue new trainers post. Drum roll please.
Unfortunately 10 minutes into my scheduled 20 minute run in them this morning and my toes were numb. 😟
Very lovely - great berry-ish colours 
Were they just laced a bit tight at the front, or likely to be a problem with the fit? Hope they're better next time out...
I'm hoping it was that I laced them too tight. They have a lot more space in the toe than I am used to so I may have over compensated.
They are gorgeous! Could you tell which bit of them was causing the numbness? Tight laces? Or do they just need to give a little? I hope you can 'run them in' or that you can exchange if necessary!
(and I was so hoping it was going to be a gremlin)😆
I am really hoping that it was because I had laced them too tight
Woo Hoo , I won ! Fab !
I used to suffer with numbness, it was my laces. I used to have a right mare with them coming undone, so I tied them too tight and as a result I felt like I had cut off the circulation to my feet !
They are a really lovely colour , I do hope you get on okay with them . Theres lots of info on t'internet about tying the laces and what not xxx
You did, and there is! Someone recently posted a load of lacing styles in a canicross FB group I belong to, so I've been over there looking for it. Found it now!
Babysitting duties allowing I shall try to do my Parkrun in the next 4 weeks. I already have my barcodes. 😊
Lace-lock everytime!
Lace-lock?
You use the extra hole at your ankle to make a loop which you feed the other lace through. Not had a trainer come loose or laces untied since I started doing it.

Thank you!
Are they Saucony? I wear their kinvara but found their zealot to be narrower and shallower, resulting in a black nail.
If they are not right for you then you can return them in the brown bag 😎😄
They are. They are the very new edition Peregrine 7s. The toe box is huge and they are quite deep in the fore foot as well, which is why I am hoping that I simply drew the laces too tight over the top of my foot.
They look lovely! I hope you get to keep them.
I'll play with lacing them up after the weekend.
Ahh, my guess was wrong! Loving those new shoes, nice colour and very stylish hope you sort out the numb toes problem.
Makes a change from all out pink, not that they stay pink for long on my runs 😀
Fabulous colour! Hope you get the lacing sorted, they're lovely!
So do I, they will be so much better on hard ground than my current pair!
I commented too, before I saw this post, so you owe me a parkrun too!
You may have it. Probably in March ☺
How much rain is too much...?
😟 Too much too soon methinks. Gutted
Am I expecting too much
In the zone...a bit too much maybe
I think I've done too much
