That's not my shoe port. They're for my eldest kitten as an early Xmas present. 😸

Bought from a proper sports shop. Last season's model at a good price. They cost more than I would spend on myself but this kittens paws are tricky to get a good fit. I think these were the 7th or 8th pair he tried on...

I might struggle to keep up with him now!

I hope so, that is the way it should be after all!

I'll work out an interval run that finishes with the BW dash as a sprint so he can show off what he can do! 😸

I thought shoe porn was more popular than this... 😵

2 weeks of Black Friday / Cyber Monday buyers apathy maybe? ❓

They look really smart Kat, he's a very lucky lad indeed! Are they from the Mizuno Wave Paradox range? I noticed the wave on the inside of the sole which is sort of similar on my Wave Paradox 5's...

(‘Scuse me answering this but I was just having a nosey). They’re Wave Connect 3’s, so close TS. I think our kitten wearing running shoes is an unfathomable paradox in itself which we’re still getting used to tbh!

Hahaa! Well you've done so well - you're all so active! I've got a great deal of admiration for how you've got the kids involved, teaching them a great habit, that they can enjoy and will benefit them for life! 👍

He now has some great gear there too... I 🖤my Mizunos

That’s great to know TS, I hope eldest kitten feels the same. Thank you 😀

Your selfless kindness and generosity towards your kitten is an inspiration to us all and an incentive for us to get a kitten of our own 😂

If you find the right partner it makes it easier. We have a litter of two.

Youngest kitten with no practice smashed his previous parkrun PB and went sub 28 minutes!

Show off.

in reply toKatnap

Haha - I thought they were for yourself and you were pretending they were for your pet 😁. My 4 kittens have grown up and left home - but have 6 new kittens between them so I’m happy 😊.

Just love the colours Katnap. UpTheStanley has mizuno and has been pleased with them. Someone is going to be very happy on Christmas morning.

He was fitted at the shop so no surprises on that front and he needs them already to prevent him from suffering with running pains... usually from running too quickly.

Yes you don’t want any injuries by delaying him running in them. No doubt Santa will be bringing other things to fill up a stocking .

Oh yes 😸 he will find he will have his own headtorch for a start.

“Running too quickly”?

KatnapGraduate in reply toTailChaser

It's all relative...

Nice!

You can always hide them and make him run in his old ones if you need to kick his ass 😂

Katnap profile image
KatnapGraduate in reply toUnfitNoMore

Or they get too wet so "you don't wanna run in those while they're still damp! They'll give you blisters! You'll just have to use your old trainers."

I'll have to think up some more reasons why he needs to give his new shoes a break... 😸

UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply toKatnap

Shoes also need a rest day... it can take the soles 24 hours to be fully back to shape, so run every day sorts tend to have several pairs to rotate... if he thinks that it’s 48, all the better 😂

KatnapGraduate in reply toUnfitNoMore

Oh... And they wear out more quickly if you don't clean them well after each run.

There's no way he will keep them spotless! 😸

They are very nice! Massive well done for getting last seasons model too..... Note to self 🤔

KatnapGraduate in reply touncle_wiggy

They asked about budget before making selections so they were true to their word! 😸

uncle_wiggyGraduate in reply toKatnap

I wasn't unhappy with the service I got when purchasing mine, but I didn't get asked about budget or offered the chance to have last year model, that would have put the icing well & truly on my Christmas cake!

Not what you're looking for?
