NEW SHOES 👟

Hi everyone! You may remember that my ankle started giving me a little bit of trouble at the end of week 8 and w9r1 confirmed that I needed to rest on the IC. This morning I thought it was worth going to get my gait re-analysed (it’s been 10 yrs) and she agreed that I needed a more supportive shoe. So she sent me home with these bad boys!!! They’re like walking on air, so I can’t wait to try them out on a run when my ankle is ready!

Do I need to wear them around the house a bit to ‘wear them in’? Or are they good to go?

Happy running everyone!

No harm wearing them indoors then any issues you can take them back

Thank you. I’m glad you said that... I’ve had them on since we arrived home 🤣

Oh nice new shoes. Hope your ankle is feeling better with rest. You could wear them for a few days before running in them it won't do any harm. The great thing about Brooks is you've got 90 days to test them out and if they don't suit you can exchange them . 😊😊

Oooooo I didn’t know that, thanks Buddy 😁

Ooohhhh very jealous. I really need to get some new footwear and these look fab. Cx

[Hidden in reply to Candy46]

Thank you 😄 They’re sooooo comfy 👍🏼

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

Very nice! Bet you can’t wait to try them out.

[Hidden in reply to Wenderwoo]

I really can’t 😆 I’m itching to get out there now!

They should be fine to go unless you’re doing a long run. My latest I wore to work for a couple of days but that was because I was marathon training and needed to wear them in very quickly.

[Hidden in reply to Tasha99]

Thank you. No marathons for me thankfully 😆 They feel so comfy already so I think I’ll be ok 👍🏼

[Hidden]

Ooh, I like those 😍. I really should get my gait analysed.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you! It’s so worth doing if you can!!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I'll wait until my knee is better, I'm struggling to walk without pain at the mo ☹️

[Jazzyrunner Graduate]

They’re same as mine!!! I loooooove them, they made a huge difference as soon as I wore them. I’d decided before I went to the running shop that I’d try to get a reduction in price, whatever shoes I bought. When she brought these out and I put them on, I was virtually sobbing with gratitude for how great they felt, and thanking her as I paid full price 🤣 No regrets, I love them! Hope you do too 😊🏃🏼‍♀️

[Hidden in reply to Jazzyrunner]

No waaaaayyyyy! Omg that’s amazing! They do feel so amazing don’t they?!? I’m so glad you’ve got the same as you do wonder whether they’ve analysed your run properly 😂 & I know you’ve got the same issues as me, so that’s good news 👍🏼 hopefully they help us both with our running going forward!

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I’m sure you’ll love them!

Made me think that my 10 year old Asics might need an update .

[Hidden in reply to Bladerunner2049]

10 years is a long time isn’t it!

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

I’d wear them in a bit before running but only because i wouldn’t not be able to wear them straight away they are gorgeous and will give you many miles of running on air

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you. I’ve been wearing them for short stints around the house just so my feet get used to them 😊

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

Fab shoe porn there Rhedeg! I’m sure they’ll give you miles of blister free running!

[Hidden in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Hopefully!!! Thanks very much 😊

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Shoe triplets! I've got those too! They are super comfy, they'll give you extra bounce! Enjoy 👍🏻😁

[Hidden in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Ooooooo exciting 😁 thank you, fingers crossed! Xx

[Carowood]

You are so lucky - I love my brooks sooooo comfortable although mine are very plain in all black as that was only colour they had in my size.

Good luck and Enjoy. 😆

[Hidden in reply to Carowood]

Thank you! I did have a plain black pair on at one point too 😆
