When to buy shoes?

CrochetingScallywag profile image

Hi everyone

I've just finished week 3 and I'm wondering at which point would it be better to buy proper running shoes?

I'm currently wearing a pair of avia archrockers which are a pair of 'fit' trainers and I'm aware are probably not the best.

Well done so far.
