Recently I noticed that my running shoes were looking a little worn. OK…a lot worn.
So I went to the Running Room to get a new pair. Naturally I missed out on the Groupon for the Running Room, but that’s another blog post.
Every time I buy running shoes, I tell the clerk to “please bring me three pairs of size 8 running shoe to try on. I don’t need to know the brand or the price. I really just want to find a good FIT“.
So she brought me out three pairs. Here’s what I thought of each running shoe.
Pair number 1: firm all around the foot, lots of padding, and a good fit
Pair number 2: very wide, nice padding and a good fit
Pair number 3: totally weird feeling. It felt like my foot was on an incline.
I walked around a bit and then took out my (beloved) visa to buy the winning pair.
bye bye old running shoes!!
hello...new running shoes
What did I buy? The Saucony 8. My old pair were the Saucony 5.
What on earth took me THREE YEARS to buy a pair of running shoes when Im at the gym USING them 5 times a week.?
Can’t wait to use them. Do you think I will run faster? HA. Time will tell.
