What footwear??

[Scrumpybumble]

I’m looking for new trainers as mine are pretty worn out from dog walking over the last 12 years. Any suggestions? I was going to try runnersneed but they are closed. My partner says I should just buy some off the internet but surely its rather important that they fit properly?! Thanks for any advice! Carolyn

Hi. When you can, pop along and get a gait analysis done. Everyone has advised me to, but as we are in lockdown it is impossible. However, you can do a simple wet-foot-test to see what shape your foot is. This will give a guide and you can go from there. Sportshoes.com has details. When you know, order some and never-ever hesitate to exchange Them if they are wrong. Shoes are THE only really important piece of kit for a runner - unless you are a lady woman when another item is necessary too. I can't offer any first-hand advice on that one though!!

Haha! Yes! And thank you for the info. This is such a brilliant forum and making it all much more enjoyable! Happy running!

Here's to the coming Spring!!

What about the unladylike women? 😉

[newbie-nick Graduate in reply to nowster]

Ahh, the growing subculture of unladylike women. An unusual breed that has been hidden in the attic by their family for centuries with only bread and water to satisfy them. They have been waiting for the time to rise and conquer the world. Their time has come! Or was that just a bad dream?

You had the same pair of trainers for 12 years, does Guinness world records know about this?! 😳

[Scrumpybumble Graduate]

Yes but I probably only managed about 2 miles over that time!

Well hopefully you will go a bit further this time 😀
