Finally took the plunge after suffering with a dodgy foot this week. So I had a trip to Up and Running this morning. The man that served me was so friendly and helpful, I tried loads of different shoes but couldn't resist these lovely ones. We also had a good chat about oldham parkrun so I'll definitely be doing that once foot is feeling better 😁 Happy Bank Holiday Monday folks!

Nice. I’ve had 2 pairs of Brooks shoes so far and am very happy with them. Good luck on your recovery and enjoy your future runs.

Ooh these are lovely! Hope they help with your foot pain - I look forward to hearing how you get on with them. I’ve read they have more room in the toe box and are very supportive so I’ve been feeling tempted to go and try some on too!

I'll let you know 😁 apparently I land more on the front of my feet and these have more support and cushioning there. Plus lots of toe room. And the nice man in the shop threw in a free pair of running socks so what's not to like? Not sure the bank manager will agree though.. 🀣

Good choice! I ended up with a pair of those last weekend in a branch of Up and Running, as I also needed more toe space! And we chatted about all sorts of things too (all running related, of course)!

Not what you're looking for?
