Out with the old and in with the new!

β€’13 Replies

Well this morning tried out my new running shoes. Now I know their not as posh as some of the running shoes that often make there way onto this wonderful site,but they are comfortable and they are the same as my old ones except newer,but still comfy!

Had no trouble with the old ones so these ones so far are good too.

So perhaps I will treat myself to a better pair when I decide to get my gait properly sorted.( or maybe Santa will drop some off for me this year!) πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

For the moment they will do for me.

Yes you've guessed it they are Karrimors 3 tempo runners!!!! ha!

Hope all is well and happy running!

Don't do as your title suggests, but keep the old ones and rotate their use, which breaks in the new ones gently and avoids any problems of changing support from one shoe to another.

Hi Ian how are you keeping, hope your doing ok ?I did reply to this post earlier but I lost internet coverage so it didn't get sent. Anyway Ian I had been thinking πŸ€” of doing that so I shall keep old favourites for now. They are still comfy,a bit worn down on heels.

Thanks so much for your input! πŸ–πŸ˜€πŸ˜€x

Very sassy indeed..... I have some, all reduced in sales and they are great... if they fit and do the job well... that is fine :)

Happy, happy runs:)

I love em! My first shoes and I still have them. I got a pair of the trail version too but they recently got rehomed.

in reply to misswobble

Thanks misswobble! The old ones are still wearable too so I shall rotate them to break the new ones in gently to avoid blisters.

Everyone's so complimentary ,and I'm so pleased there are load more karimoor wearers out there. I really thought that people just wore the more expensive runners.

For me if there comfy and do the job why pay more money after all there just for running and Mo farrier I'm not ! ha !

Happy running! πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

No! Cheap as chips us πŸ˜ƒ. I live not far from SD, so Karrimor central at my house I got my first pair of Nike Filament tights there, which are ace! I have a pair of their very basic capris but they are thin so I use them in the house for my exercises and they are fine for that

Their vests and shorts are good. Run jacket fine too πŸ˜ƒ

Thank you misswobble ! Haven't tried their vests and shorts yet but I think I might just treat myself!πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Happy running!πŸ˜€πŸ˜€x
