Running shoes- how do you pick them?
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2011 8:42 pm
Yesterday I bought my very first pair of proper running shoes (I've been training for a half marathon for four months now in some that were battered) This opened my eyes to a whole new world of humiliation and treadmill pain as an entire shop of customers laughed at my woefully flat feet and curved spine. But what a revelation- I wore them today and my left hip didn't howl and my left knee didn't try to detach itself from my leg at around mile 8, which it usually does.
I tried to upload a picture but my tecnical skills are sadly woeful- look at my new whizzy runners on my blog http://kelly-sharp.blogspot.com/. It got me wondering how other, more experienced runners, select their shoes- do you all take the treadmill test? How much is too much money for runners?
