After a lot of research and advice, these are what I went with 😁Brooks Levitate πŸ‘Ÿ

I tried so many different styles today..

Trail's just didn't feel right πŸ€”

Think I'm to used to my brook's glycerine

But these have a bit of a lower heel drop.. which hopefully helps alleviate my ball of the foot pain ( metataralsalgia)

I recently bought some hoka slides which are a brilliant substitute for slippers!!

I also treated myself to some balega socks.. 😁

I'm super excited to get out and try on Monday !!!

Thanks everyone who helped with your amazing advice on my last post πŸ™

Ooh here's to being back running πŸ™
