I finally have new shoes, my faithful reeboks will be retired for dog walking in the dark (holes in the toes but so comfy).

Decathlon don't seem to do gait analysis here but I did get shoes intended for up to 3 hours a week and tried on all of their range in the running section, including a small jog up the aisle (note to self, wear a sports bra for shoe shopping). I came away with a pair if shoes I am comfortable in at a price I could actually afford.

When I have more money I will go for a more expensive pair that will probably last longer, but anyway, I have my graduation present. 😁

Are these the kalenji ones? You must tell us how you get on with them. And don’t forget to Wear them in before your run.

Yes, kalenji, my next run is Wednesday am, so they'll get 6 dog walks before then as wearing in and I will put them on around the house a bit too

Nice!

I ran so many laps round the notsolocal Decathlon when Id went shoe shopping a few weeks ago! But came away with 2 pairs that were both in the sale.

I nearly bought a different pair that I liked the look of more, but I was very disciplined and bought the ones that felt better lol

Well done!

I had a real struggle deciding between 2 pairs at one point as they both felt good, but not perfect.
