Someone’s not impressed.

Celebration purchase. A strange shopping experience and I felt a little guilty going.

The shop was very professional though. Customers limited and everything stringently cleaned after the gait analysis. Even got given the running socks I’d used to try with the shoes.

I’ve never had running shoes.

Enzo may not be impressed but I’m in love 😍

Well deserved and let's face it, you'll get plenty of miles from them so well done you. I think I'll get Brooks next too. Hope you get on well with them in your next run.

Oh they are beautiful and don’t be guilty you run you deserve lovely new shoes to run in, I think we all feel guilty of some things at the moment, i don’t feel at all guilty about my 3 rolls of toilet rolls and don’t even know why it’s only 3 but i do feel a little bad about the 4 large bars of chocolate i have squirrelled away

trouble with the chocolate is we just keep eating it

Stay safe and well and enjoy those beautiful comfortable running shoes

I never bothered about chocolate used to have the odd square and leave the rest in the cupboard but since i gave up smoking it just tastes so good 😊

My mum always told me that chocolate starts to go off once you leave the shop and you should eat it as soon as possible. I always believed my mum 🙄

They are super dooper run faster shoes. Very smart. Enzo may have to be carried. (Careful he doesn't eat them.) :-)

Love those shoes! My first (actually my only) running shoes are also Brooks. When I first wore them it was like running on marshmallows! They are so comfortable and I think for me will be a first choice every time. Enjoy!

Well deserved treat 😀.

Nice shoes and lovely puppy. We all need to support business at this time as well as keeping safe. So well done on your great self sacrifice :)

Thank you! I don’t regret the shoes. I still can’t believe how good they are.

I was running in Salomon trail shoes because I kidded myself I could have walking/ running shoes.

They were always a bit small.
