Here are my very first ACTUAL running shoes! You know, designed for running, not like my old ones πŸ˜†. I had a gait analysis earlier, which was really enjoyable and interesting, lots of computerised thingamajigs.

Now, I know I have very wide feet, but when a machine confirms it, I guess you have to accept that it is actual fact πŸ˜† so my shoes are for very wide feet! They are way bigger than my usual shoe size, and bliss, my bangy against the end of my other shoes toe is going to be super happy. I already ran today, so will give them a proper outing on Wednesday. For once I may leap out of bed. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Are they New Balance 1080? Ref your other post, I had some 1080s and their Strava nickname was "Clown Shoes" πŸ˜‚

Ha ha so funny you should say that - they’re NB800, but I mentioned to Instructor57 that because they’re bigger than my shoe size they look just like clown 🀑 shoes! So yes, Strava is right! πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

Ah thank you! I like to think that wide feet stop you from falling over so often πŸ˜†.
