Da Ya Think I’m Sexy - thanks Mr Stewart

So today I am in Arnhem, buying trainers. Because that’s what you do when you live between Italy and the UK!

What’s a girl to do? Brooks Defyance 9 in silver and pink or Saucony in Marine and Citron. With some prompting from Mr JCR, I bought both...as both were sexy. Never thought I’d say that about trainers. How life changes.

Tomorrow I do a tourist run in Arnhem..... big issue of the day, which pair to wear?

Blue or Pink - votes please!

I didn’t like the socks so didn’t buy those....

Happy running everyone.

Jan, please try never to connect a great choice of shoes with Rod's poor choice of careeer.

[Hidden in reply to mrrun]

But it was either him or Right Said Fred...

[mrrun Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Oh lord. That's like between a rock and a hard place....

I was there a few weeks back but missed the shoe shop . watch out I thought the traffic was a bit full on and you need eyes in your backside. Take care 👍.

Love Rod 😀

[Hidden in reply to misswobble]

Thanks Rod I found a nice park to run in, so no traffic dangers....

[Slinkymalinki Graduate]

Ooh - I like the marine and citron - sounds like a fabulous seafood dish! Good luck with the run. I'm sure you'll have Rod the God's words echoing in your brain as you go round!

[Hidden in reply to Slinkymalinki]

Marine and citron won out...

[J9_54 Graduate]

You'll be fab in either but the Marine get my vote. Nice x

[Hidden in reply to J9_54]

My vite too...

[Rowville]

Has to be the blue ,

[Hidden]

Well I saw the headline and two casually discarded pairs of shoes and wondered what inappropriate personal information might follow in the post. Just a shopping trip, apparently! 😀

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hahaha, yes the socks do look as though they’d been abandoned somewhat gaily...

[icklegui Graduate]

surely, surely, we need to know the rest of your outfit for a fully informed sartorial choice - or are you building that around the sexy shoes? In which case oooh it's tough ... blue I think edges it for me!

[Hidden in reply to icklegui]

Grey and black, all my fluoro left at home, but blue it was

[Martin_Rose Graduate]

I think you should tear up Arnhem by wearing one of each.

[Hidden in reply to Martin_Rose]

Ooh man in shop said they had different slopes on the sole, so I would have run cack legged...

[Irishprincess Graduate]

Maybe a picture of both could help with our decision..........🙂

[Irishprincess Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Aaah, that wasn't there a minute ago! Go with the blue......

[Hidden in reply to Irishprincess]

Went with blue...

[antet Graduate]

Love them both but the pink ones are calling to me 😀. Excellent choices.

[Hidden in reply to antet]

Blue today, pink on Saturday...

[IgaT Graduate]

I love the blue one and my vote goes to Marine(s). But pink and lovely too. Do the rest of the outfit depends on the chosen trainers?

[Hidden in reply to IgaT]

Blue won but pink on Saturday, tragically only one running outfit and they are both black and grey, no fluoro anywhere... but I did see a nice fluoro running tight in the same shop.....

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Hidden]

You should wear at least fluoro head band or something similar

[Razouski]

Sorry, i’ve Only just seen this post. Both pairs look fab. I hope they were as comfortable as they look.

I think I may need to treat myself to new pair soon as there have been a few footwear photos on here lately. Not that I’m envious ...

[Hidden in reply to Razouski]

The Saucony feel ‘harder’ under foot but are soft on the uppers. They made a clacking sound which was great when I was doing Mud and Tiger Feet... the Brooks seemed exactly like my old pair. My other Brooks were 2.5 years old and I kept getting tired feet, which I think was inadequate sole cushioning. So it was time for a change, I am alternating them. Today it will be Saucony for a cheeky 5k.
