More new shoes.....😊

Hi Everybody,

I went to Meadowhall today (big shopping place in Sheffield) to buy some comfy shoes for walking around Barcelona - we’re off on a mini break next weekend. I always find Skechers super comfy and needed to replace my last pair. When I went in the shop to my surprise they had 30% off nearly everything, yay! So what’s a girl to do.....except buy 2 pairs! One pair for general walking, and another pair for running, in case I ever fancy a short road run (unlikely, but you never know). Check these babies out, and they also make a contribution to the tickled pink breast cancer campaign, so win/win πŸ‘πŸ˜†

I thought about it, but decided against it. We always do a lot of walking on holiday so I’ll enjoy a week off and come back raring to go πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Excellent. I'm running in some basic Sketchers Go Run at the moment. I find them to be perfect for C25K. If they are having a sale on, I might just go along to my local brach and upgrade!

I like Skechers too, I completed C25K twice in a pair of Go Run 400's, when I was in Orlando last week I didn't take the Asics and ran in a pair of Skechers UltraLite trainers plus I'm nearly always wearing a pair of Skecher boat shoe type shoes as they're really comfy.

If you pop down to McArther Glenn outlet at M1 J28 there is a Skechers Outlet, mainly US sizes so be careful.

Very nice Wenderwoo ❀️

Didn't realise you were from Sheffield too! 😊 How was Meadowhall after the flooding? xxx

Wenderwoo profile image
WenderwooGraduate in reply to AliHC

I’m from Wakefield, but go to Meadowhall if there’s things in particular I want. It was fine, you couldn’t see any evidence of the floods, but the M1 was very wet for the last few miles approaching, and had warnings about surface water. People still whizz past like eejits though πŸ™„

Ooh, new shoes - lovely! There's that cool Gaudi park in Barcelona if you fancy a little run off the roads.

I thought about running, but have decided to have a week off. We always walk a lot on holidays, and there’s lots of stuff I want to try and cram in! Will be straight back to though when we get back 😁
