Running Shoes

[hobodan]

After reading this thread I went out & bought some Nike downshift 4 runners Fromm jjb reduced to £35, they tried to sell me some in souls for £20 as well, I thought there's no chance I'm buying them.. After putting them in though I was completely sold; I'm walking around the living room now to wear them in a bit, it's like walking on uncooked jelly cubes

Going to do the Thamesdown road run tonight

hope they tried to sell you some waterproofer too.

The amount of that stuff I had to try and sell was insane.

No they didn't bother, I guess I don't look like the type to go running in the rain

Asics Gel trainers are the best trainers i have had for running and just bought a new pair the other week. They may be a bit more costly than others but they are worth it.

Nothing wrong with wiggle - great shop and good returns policy

TBH chaps if you are going to run any sort of distance then you really need to be fitted properly to avoid injury issues. There lots of different issues effecting how your foot lands, rolls and then lifts and if your shoes don't give you the correct footfall then they will be doing you more harm than good.

Also the life expectancy of a pair of running shoes is 12-18 months or 300-500 miles and then they need replacing.
