New shoes post 🤞

[Maddee_6333]

I remember long ago, when shopping for new trainers was not the hard work that it is now that I have long term ‘niggles’. It *might* take a couple of tries, but on the whole of if I’d tried multiple pairs on in the shop? Then the pair I ultimately chose would be the correct ones and - after a few days wearing them round the house and garden* - I could go for a short run and everything would be fine, then I’d work up from there.

*I have never been the sort of person who could just buy any sort of shoes then go out in them and not suffer the consequences.

Alas - these days - the running shop people are really earning their money when they have to serve me. I have a couple of places that I use regularly, and the people that work in them are always very knowledgeable about their stock, kind and patient.

So, fingers crossed, these will be fine, as I had to exchange the Karhu’s that I bought last week as they were making my toes numb after 15-20 minutes of walking round the house (even after I tried my two favourite lacing techniques).

My one reservation is that they are shockingly PINK, but it’s not like I’m looking at my feet when I run, so I’m not going to be seeing them that often. This reservation is offset by the fact that the exchange has left me with a £20 credit on my account *and* I have googled them and they come in a really lovely looking yellow too, which is much more my style 🙂

Those look lovely! Don't worry about the pinkness - once you've stepped in a couple of puddles nobody will realise

Brighter the better I think, I do seem to be in a habit now of driving to and from work that when I see a runner I straight away look at what they have on their feet. Bright shoes are easier to see for sure. Mine are a grey purple, and nowhere near bright enough for me. Will be looking for shockingly bright for my next pair.

Love the pink ! My trail shoes are pink my husband says at least we can find you !

[LurcherMum]

Wow! I have a pair that were exactly that colour when I bought them. Not anymore! Take them through a few puddles and they will be lest 'pink'. By far and away is that they are comfortable and cushion your feet properly. Pleased for you that you found them.
