Ooh they look nice. I've got saucony too, love 'em except my right big toe has made a hole in the mesh 😂
Hmm..... Ok ,
I have plenty of room in these , infact they are 1/2 size bigger than my road shoes
My sauconys are a whole size bigger than my normal size. But I realise when I walk/run I unknowingly lift my big toe up - weird or what! 😊
Haha no comment 😂😂😂

Wowzers!
They look so cool 😎
A nice dark color so as not to show the mud with enough of a flash of vivid colour contrast to make them stand out from the crowd.
Great choice sir 👍

I’ve not run on anything that’s not tarmac yet, is it much harder on uneven ground?
Me neither ! 😂
Haha, all my Running' had also been on road, but I'm preparing for the Parkruns and my local one recommends trail shoes
I’ll wait with anticipation to hear how you get on then! They look fab anyway! Good luck 😁
Was thinking of signing up for my local one when they get going again now I’ve got my first 5k chalked up 👍🏻
Yes, thats been my plan all along 😁
Pace may be a bit slower off road though 😐
Good luck! I’ll be glad to make it round!
I did a (not) parkrun last Saturday 😁

Looking fabulous!
Why thank you 😂 👍
🤣 you’ve got me on google now! I’ve never really paid attention in this type of shoe, but I think I have trail shoes. I definitely run in trainers because I’m on grass where possible. But my dog walking shoes might be trail shoes 🤔 they are Solomon and trainer type, not boots. I always call them my hiking shoes but now I’m not sure. Maybe I should try running in these when I have to change back to road in winter 😳🤔
Your dog has walking shoes ???
😂😂😂 (Kidding)
Yes we'll I knew I would be doing C25K on tarmac, but having signed up for parkrun I noticed my local run suggested trail shoes, so, who am I to argue 😬
Haha, I have actually tried to find her shoes for when I take her to the beach, the sand cuts her paws lol.
When do the park runs start again?
Good choice not to argue 😣😁
Not sure when they will restart but I hear it could be soon as they have procedures in place apparently
Cool, I’ll keep an eye out 👀
I did a (not) parkrun last Saturday 😬
You’re going to have to explain that concept to me
Haha, well they have not restarted yet so you can do a 5k run anywhere else and submit your time to the parkrun group , so it's like a virtual parkrun or as they call it, a (not) parkrun 😁
Ah I see, that’s a good idea

Brilliant! They look really good, Ian, I’m sure you’re very happy with them! Wishing you many happy kilometres of trail running with them. 👍
I ran on grass until recently as you know! In fact, my new road running shoes only had their first outing last Saturday. I was afraid to run in them 😂 but they are also good!
Yes, I know I said bring on the muddy Parkruns, BUT ! I don't really want to get them dirty .
At least with road and trail we now have all bases covered !
This running lark can get expensive 😂😂😂
Yes it can! Fortunately mine weren’t too expensive and they do the job nicely. Should last me a while! I need some brightly coloured running clothes though; I set out this morning before dawn and my clothes are all black! Suddenly realised that wasn’t good when it wasn’t light yet!
Haha , well you do tend to run in the middle of the night 😂😂😂
And yes, I love them thanks 😬
They are a half size up on my road shoes.
But feel great!
Oh, and yes, I know you ran mainly on grass !
How do you find the tarmac now ?
I’m enjoying it, but it’s definitely harder on the body - but faster, of course!
Haha, I KNEW YOU WOULD SAY ITS FASTER 😂😂😂
😂
Wow they do look very nice...Shame to get them dirty really...
I must be a bit of a wimp as I steer clear of mud! 🤣😂
The only park run mud I have seen was on all the folk returning from the park run on a Saturday morning, there was just so much mud!
Enjoy your park runs Ian. I’ll have to change or I’m going to miss out!
Yes, it will be a shame !
To be honest I'm sure it's not muddy all year round ,😁

You’re right, I never though of that, I’m still getting over graduating this morning. I’m a bit tired...thank you there’s hope for me yet 🏃🏻♀️
Haha, hope you have enjoyed your graduation day 😬👍
Ooh very nice colourway I bet they are very comfy! Are they water resistant? I hate getting wet toes on the fields so annoying
They are supposed to be waterproof !
Gortex, but we will see 😂
Oooh they’re exciting!
Gannet1Graduate
Wow! They look amazing! 🙌😄 💕 Love the contrasting colours!! 💥⚡️Aw, come on, if they’re as colourful as I think they are, we need a pic of those soles!!😊👏🏻😉
Yes, I love them , can only send 1 pic, but the soles are all orange 😬
😍 Thought as much! They’re 😎 with a touch of 🤩! 👍😊
haha good description 😬
They look good !!! 👍
Yes, just need a trail route now to give them a try 😁
