Hi everyone

I LOVE TRAINERS !

There I said it, having a few pairs in the past(30ish) last year I decided to sell a few pairs I didn’t wear, I have whittled them down to 18 pairs, but only 3 pairs of proper “Running Shoes” in the collection I decided I needed more.

Here are my three latest buys.

Ultraboost 19 - awesome

Nike zoom fly 3 - need more time to decide

Adidas yeezy 350 boost - no heal support

I understand we all need different trainers but what have you got, and what would you sell a kidney for ?

I will start

Got - Adidas Ultraboost 19!

Want - Nike Pegasus Turbo 2

Thanks for the trainer tips! I’m already thinking when I deserve to treat myself to some new gear but I’ve only just done W2W3!

Oh dear, this could be short:

Tatty Nikes, one pair no idea what.

Just off to pick up On Cloud ladies. Better be good!

Hi speedy

On Cloud ? I have never seen them, googled, and they look comfy don’t they !

They felt fantastic in Runnersneed, especially after my old pair. I just hope that translates to the roads.

I invested in a pair of Hoka One One Cava’s, bought in a sale! Massive bargain and proper comfy 👌🏼

Hehe can’t sell a kidney,I gave one away 😂😂😂.

My if I had a loads of money trainer would be ASICS metaride. I’ve never tried them but I love a meta rocker in a shoe but at £225. I won’t be getting them 😀.

Hi, I have the hoka Clifton 6 and hoka Mach fn’s. Love them both but not sure I’d swap them for a kidney 😂

I love the Hoka look , the height at the back looks sooo soft ! Unfortunately no one on IOM stock them , but I would love to try a pair.

I share your love, passion and addiction to running shoes 😍

I’m fairly new to this. Graduated 21st of December. I have a pair of Hoka, two pairs of brooks, a pair new balance. Adidas trail and Columbia trail , and awaiting Saucony Nomad trail 🙂

I spend a lot of time researching running shoes 😂

My fav at the minutes has to be the brook Neuros but that is subject to change 😂

BeerslurpaGraduate in reply toSham19

Wow - just looked at those - they are different ain’t they ! Unusual bottoms !

Sham19 in reply toBeerslurpa

Yes definitely. I fully stepped in a puddle up to my ankle and as soon as my foot came out all the water seems to disappear and it didn’t feel like my socks and shoes were soaked 🙂 and also I think they are really light on your feet and feel like a second skin.

I have these on order as I’ve recently started running road instead of trail.

brooksrunning.com/en_gb/wom...

But they seem to have got lost and I’m fuming as they were the last pair in the sale 👿 They are the third pair since I started this....

Started in a pair of Aldi specials

Bought a pair of cheap Decathlon Hybrids which are ok now I’ve changed the insole.

Bought a pair of Skechers Gorun, which are probably the most comfy surprisingly, but not sure they would be any good for long runs - not that I’m likely to do one 😜

So unlucky for the postie to lose them ! Hope they turn up .

Wenderwoo profile image
WenderwooGraduate in reply toBeerslurpa

It’s DHL, and I’ve got Brooks on the case.....I’ll be able to get my money back if they don’t find them, but would prefer the shoes!

My one and only pair of trainers... ASICS Gel-Contend and they're bloody brilliant! Super light and comfy, you just don't know you're wearing them. Will get another pair when these get tatty.
