Okay…

Deep breath…

Moccasins type things x 3

Salomon Speedcross (various) x 8
New Balance trainers x 1

So 49 so far, which is perhaps excessive, but then…

Nike trainers various from floral skate shoes to Barbie pink Vaporfly Next% x 16

Which makes 65 pairs, I am a MONSTER!!

Just making a mental list and I only come up with 20 or so. Clearly I am a total lightweight and need to get shopping!

Tarka, how are the Next%? I keep hovering over the buy button but have resisted so far!

Only 2 pairs of decent shoes.
3 pairs of casual/ outdoor boots.
1 pair kilt shoes.
5 pairs of trainers of differing types/colours.
2 pairs cycle shoes , (1x Sidi Dominators still going strong from 2002)

And confession time.probably 40 pairs of flip flops/sandals.
Yes I know. But I do like them, and do wear them. Anything with straps gets my attention!

lunge,

Terrible confession – I had little or no interest when the green ones came out as they are a gopping colour, and I already had the Vaporfly 4%. But then one of the little sole elements fell off my 4%s, and I had a key race coming up (I’ve managed to mend the 4%s with SHoeGoo anyway), so I’ve bought the pink ones.
They do feel very fast, but they don’t feel hugely different to the 4%s.
It IS quite a strong look though 😛

Thanks Tarka, I can see a purchase being made in prep for spring marathon season.
I also see I’m not the only one who lives in the “runner chic” look of skinny jeans, Garmin on the wrist, runners on the feet and a look of slight malnutrition in the face!
