I don't know about their trail shoes but I absolutely love Saloman hiking boots and shoes.

I always struggle with getting new shoes but these bad boys are so comfy right from the off. You could take them straight out of the box and be on your feet all day with no bother at all.πŸ˜„

I’ve got 2 pairs of running shoes, both are Salomon and they are great! So comfortable.

Which ones did you get? And did you go for goretex or not?

Jools2020 profile image
Jools2020Graduate in reply to Birdlady64

The trail shoes are Sense Ride 2, last year’s shoe so cheaper. 1/2 size bigger than my shoe size. Yes, goretex. I use these if my run is a mixture of track and trail.

The track shoes are Sonic RA 2. Slightly different fit, so normal shoe size. Quite new, but I’m liking them!

Yeah I find you need to go up by half a size with Salomon. I can see that I am definitely going to have to sort out a running shop visit 😁

Am really wanting to do a Park Run once they get going again - I've just got to keep on consolidating so I know I could finish the course comfortably (ooh but now have distraction of new shoe investigations :-) )

That's exactly what I'm doing !

Consolidating on the 5k's for Parkrun 😬

Parkrun is where you don’t have to worry about finishing the course comfortably.

Um... that doesn’t read quite right.

What I mean is, there no need to push yourself to do it in any particular time. Just turn up and run it at your own happy pace. πŸ‘

Ha ha, that's just what I wanted to hear - by comfortably I meant finish. Am really looking forward to it - that's been my main goal tbh :-)

I’m getting shoe envy 🀣 I really must book gait analysis and get myself footwear more suitable for a Graduate runner. I’m still in my low rise walking boots 😱

Enjoy your new shoes ...and we need pics and details!
