NEW SHOES

Finally got some new running shoes. I haven't been out as much as I'd like lately, partly because my current shoes were just plain knackered and I couldn't afford new ones. I have saved up and just been to the asics shop at Cheshire Oaks and got these. I normally get the cumulus range but opted for a change as I didn't get on as well with my last pair of cumuluses (cumuli?). Gel kayano 22s and not a hint of pink in sight! Admire the beauty. Taking them for a test later!

They are lovely!!! Enjoy them! I have just bought new trainers but not as in love with them as I wanted to be as had to buy the only pair that corrected my over probation *Sigh* ... boring white and silver with lime green laces 🙄

Oooo there’s a thought!!! I just wanted exciting rather than functional trainers

Next time look for shops that stock Brooks. Great for supportive and correcting footwear but nice colours too. 👍 ebay will have laces of every imaginable shade. Rainbow might be good too 😁

I find they're normally overpriced for the models you can get as they're usually the previous models that you can't buy anywhere else any more. For example they had gel cumulus 18's in for the same price as i can get the 19s for online now. I bought my last cumulus 18s in Jan 2017 and they were cheaper then than the asics shop was selling them for today. We did an online check though these gel kayano 22s were quite reasonably priced and super comfy and not pink. What's not to love!

Got teal already haha. Bought a new vest top from dare2b the other day too. That's yellow and teal too. Bought quite a bit of stuff lately due to the heat!
