NEW SHOES ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ

โ€ข32 Replies

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 (itโ€™s been 10 yrs) and she agreed that I needed a more supportive shoe. So she sent me home with these bad boys!!! Theyโ€™re like walking on air, so I canโ€™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 โ€˜wear them inโ€™? Or are they good to go?

Happy running everyone!

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

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 . ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Oooooo I didnโ€™t know that, thanks Buddy ๐Ÿ˜

They should be fine to go unless youโ€™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.

in reply to Tasha99

Thank you. No marathons for me thankfully ๐Ÿ˜† They feel so comfy already so I think Iโ€™ll be ok ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Ooh, I like those ๐Ÿ˜. I really should get my gait analysed.

Theyโ€™re same as mine!!! I loooooove them, they made a huge difference as soon as I wore them. Iโ€™d decided before I went to the running shop that Iโ€™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 ๐Ÿคฃ No regrets, I love them! Hope you do too ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

in reply to Jazzyrunner

No waaaaayyyyy! Omg thatโ€™s amazing! They do feel so amazing donโ€™t they?!? Iโ€™m so glad youโ€™ve got the same as you do wonder whether theyโ€™ve analysed your run properly ๐Ÿ˜‚ & I know youโ€™ve got the same issues as me, so thatโ€™s good news ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ hopefully they help us both with our running going forward!

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

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

in reply to SueAppleRun

Thank you. Iโ€™ve been wearing them for short stints around the house just so my feet get used to them ๐Ÿ˜Š

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. ๐Ÿ˜†

in reply to Carowood

Thank you! I did have a plain black pair on at one point too ๐Ÿ˜†
