Went to sports direct to get some running shoes. If I carry on I will look a bit more into it but wanted some for now instead of my trainers. Picked up some Karrimor Trial Run Ladies reduced from £60 to £30 and when I got to the till they Rang up at £15! Of course I told the lady straight away that was wrong .. nah, I was out the door like I already had them on!!

You have written Trial ........if you mean Trail, then these shoes are not really suitable for running on hard surfaces, in my opinion. They are designed for offroad running, providing extra grip but reduced support.

They are trail but am going to start the park run soon which is on a trail so will keep them for that and get another pair for road.

I had Karrimor tempo trail as my first shoes, ever. I liked them so much that I got a Road pair as well.

Did you run on the road in these at first or were you always on trail.

They do Tempo trail and Tempo for the road, two entirely different shoes

Trail shoes have different soles 😃

I ran on the trail for all my C25k runs and onto C25k+ podcasts

I was hiding out lest I be seen in Lycra, which I had never worn before. I got some Nike Filament run tights from SD too 😎
