Happy New Running Shoes, Day! 👏 💰 😟

6 Replies

Had to bite the bullet & put my short hands in my very deep pockets! After spending about 40 mins queuing to get into the shop, then getting my gait analysis done, I walked out with a swanky new pair of shoes!

I never asked the sales person what price they were! 😱 I thought about saying I’d forgotten my PIN number when I saw the price come up!

Wow! What a difference! Feels like I’m running on air! The cheap pair I’ve graduated in & 16 consolidation runs before today’s run, are like hob nailed boots, compared to my newbies! They’ve got me to where I am today, so I can’t complain too much!

Everyone loves a new pair of shoes! Don’t suppose there’s any chance they’ll slow you down at all?😂

If they suit you, you’ll be able to get them online cheaper next time 🤣

Thanks Tasha! Yeah, could of got them cheaper on line, wasn’t sure what size to get & didn’t want the hassle of sending them back! Lesson learnt! Try on in the shop first, then order on-line! 😁

If they fit you properly, it’s worth paying the extra first time round. Then online after that 👍🏽
