It’s bargain season!

I tried these on the other week in a store... Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 35 and they were £105... just ordered them at £52.49 from amazon! If you’ve been fitted and you’re looking for a second pair of shoes right now there’s many bargains to be had, lovely end of season discounts.

Edit: I must point out that these were deemed suitable for me in a running store and also very comfortable... never buy running shoes you haven’t tried on in a proper running store! This is why I said “second pair” my original post.

Oooh I like those! Both pairs of running shoes I've ended up with are Nike! I struggle to find the right fit and they're so comfy!

I have 2 pairs of Nikes but I was torn between these new ones and Adidas ultra boost when I went last... and I didn’t like either price tag, then I thought I’d wait until after NY Marathon was done and dusted and see what happened with prices. The ones I’ve ordered are in tons of colour combinations but I used PriceSpy app to find the bargains, and wow, they’re not pink with neon blue spots 😂

i have had three or four pairs of various iterations of the Pegasus and. note they are getting narrower in the toe box 🙄.

Yeah, I was careful to get 35s as those were the ones i tried, there’s still some 34s around I think. They feel just a tad different to my flex RNs 😂

I still wear an early one (30) for walking the dog, and the difference between those and my latest one are markedly different.

Mind you I bought Altria Torin and I still get blisters.

I used to use Vaseline thinly on my foot before my sock for walking... not sure that would help with running, but really helped with blisters.

I plaster my feet with Vaseline, between toes, toe ends, under my big toes, Achilles but still I get blisters. Got marathon socks, blister socks, every kinda sock 🤷‍♀️ Dunno what the answer is. Lost a big toe nail and the other is nearly gone It just goes with the territory perhaps I used to only get issues with my right foot, now it’s both 🙈

I was gonna suggest spray on plasters, but I think they’d rub off

I had wanted to try these for a while, they are best runners buy on the runners world best running shoes 2018 list. I watched some reviews after seeing your post and all are favourable.

I tried Pricespy as well but as soon as I put in size 9 the bargains disappeared.

But the colour thing, I never knew that made such a difference!

Found a pair with nice big pink arrow on the side, £70 amazon prime, free delivery arriving tomorrow, free return if I don't like them, and a surprise £10 gift voucher I never knew I had. So hopefully £60.00 well spent.

Thanks for the heads up

😊
