What shoes you wearing now and what next?

menoscemo

I've finally found a shoe I love
They are the Puma Faas 400's, got them in the sales in TK Maxx a few months ago for €50.

They fit my foot perfectly, nice and light (210g), yet a nice amount of cushioning, 8mm drop; what's not to like?

Unfortunately the b******ds discontinued them just as I found them .

Luckily I have been able to pick up a good few discounted pairs from various websites so I am currently rotating 6 pairs in various colours :cool:

Interesting post BeepBeep67...

I put my name down for a pair of Pure Drift with the Brooks 1-week free trial next month with Amphibian King - see AK or brooks uk website for details on how to sign up.
They're a similar drop to the Connect but a lighter shoe.
Was down at lunch getting a pair of spikes so tried them on (albeit a 1/2 size too big) to see what they're like. Felt different to the Inov8s, but willing to give them a weeks try-out and see how they stack up.

I'm down for the trial also

If ye ever want to order shoes from the US but don't have a US delivery address, let me know and we can work it out probably, then i can get them safely to ye on the other side. Have done it for boardsies before, just an open offer.

Wow that's a really nice offer. How would it work. Deliver to your house in States and then post to Eire?

Training for Paris Marathon at the mo.

Yeah, I am in the States most of the year round. no guarantees on customs charges though but even with that on top of what i pay for shipping to Ireland, you end up on top.

Rewarded myself with a new pair of pegasus 29, arrived today, by far one of the best shoes I've run in. €70 from sports direct, got the kids some gear as well, P&P was £5

Waiting to get paid to buy a new pair. Debating between another pair of Asics 2000's, going back to the Kayano because Wiggle has a good price on last year's model, or switching to the Brooks Adrenaline or a Mizuno shoe. Decision time...

Saucony Triumphs for me Current on 10's will progress to 11's shortly - Lovely shoe

In case anyone is interested, there is a decent range of sizes (6 to 10.5) in the Green Silence available here for 32 of your sterlings (plus P&P).


What's the catch ? They are the Union Jack variant. It's a toughie, but I think my love for the GS overcomes all borders and nationalities

Just run through a mucky field a couple of times in them and they would be grand :pac:

If you are wearing them in Donadea you can run by yourself

ThePiedPiper

If I wore them up at home, I'd probably be shot before I got out of the village. I'd prefer to cut off half of my foot and wear the size 4s that can be picked up on sportshoes.com

PaulieC

oooh such hatred. I suppose 800 years and all that blah blah. I ordered a pair just now, but since I have just opened a pair that I bought last march, I expect that it will be a while before the UJ GS even get out of the box. By which time it will be approximately 801 years and maybe people will have forgotten

Currently running 50 50 between kinvara3 and nb minimus rd zero. The kinvaras are nearly bet so Im probably going to go with nb minimus trail 10 v2 for my runs over 10 miles. Would go with the nb road but feel I need the extra traction of the trail runner.

Yep, my second pair of zeros. Love them!

My Mizuno Precisions have close to 600 miles on them so it's time to start looking for a replacement. I have a pair of Sayonara and have found them to be a very good substitute, but can't find them in my size (10) for a reasonable price. Anyone suggest an alternative neutral cushioned shoe for high mileage or can point me in the direction of a Sayonara in a uk 10?

You could try and dye them a different colour, the material used in the GS ideal for that.......

I've a pair of ST5's still in the box if you want to take them on a test drive?
Planning on using them in VLM, so hopefully some of your speed rubs off

Cheers, but I never really got on with Brooks. Must give 'em another shot at some stage. Solved my problem anyway. I widened my net beyond the obvious choices and found some Sayonaras for €70 delivered, from ebay.de.

They do, but they're not cheap. 122 euro + 16 delivery. Here's their direct site.

3 x ST5's for that price

That is cheap. Theoretically going through shoes in a little over a month these days, so have to be economical.

Started buying these instead of muzuno wave nirvana, a saving of over 60 euro a pair. So far so good!
