Wk 2 day 2 coming up tomorrow ...

.... and I've treated myself (or will be tonight!) to some new 'On' running shoes (they're Swiss) - they look really good, very supportive and 'springy'. I really hope they will help with my jogging - perhaps they'll make me run faster and longer without making me look like a waddling duck, you never know....!!! Does anyone have any experience of these running shoes?

I've not heard of them at all! Do post a photo when you get them - it's the law!

At the risk of being a boring old fogey, do make sure they give you the right support, as well as looking funky ;) The wrong shoes can do all sorts of damage, but the right ones can make you feel amazing! (If you're in Oxford as your name suggests, Up & Running in Headington are fantastic. Highly, highly recommended!)

Thanks for that RainbowC. I have it on good authority (the wife of a personal trainer no less!) that they are fantastic - at the price, they should be!!! I will certainly post some photos when I've got them.

Ooh yes ! I've got 3 pairs. I 'won' the first by by turning up at our local running shop for a timed 1 mile run and as I was the only one who turned up I got the shoes ! I bought the other two, 1 road, 1 trail as the first pair was so good. I love them...
