Sorry to call you
"Bod", Bob...finger trouble!
I've been pricing up the New balance 860v9 shoe on the net and they are quite pricey but if they support my feet then I wouldn't be too bothered about that. Sports Direct stock NB but I'm not sure about that particular style. I need to go in and have a look and try them on, or similar ones. I do like the look of them though
Looking at my three pairs of gym trainers, one is Nike and they are fine for general 'trainer wear' and the others are both Sketchers. One of those are black and the gym staff don't like people wearing black-soled trainers because they say it damages the floors! The other pair, now I look, are actually classed as running shoes and they are the ones I used when I'm on the treadmill and doing other gym stuff.
What I'm getting at here though is although these running shoes, my other main concern is that they all have a 'breathable' upper which is great for ventilation and keeping the feet cool, but I'm predicting that they have the downside of getting very wet as moisture from wet grass and of course, rain, would cause the shoes to get really 'manky' wouldn't it? How do you clean your trainers as a matter of interest. Bob.
Sorry to be a real pain about this but it's a long time since I used to run and in those days I would just wear my basic trainers and I mostly ran up the hills in Lincoln for the bodybuilding side of things, doing a few miles afterwards on pavements, so it wasn't so much soft ground as concrete-based, therefore I could just leave the shoes as they were. i.e. The uppers were basically plastic/rubber, not canvas.
I will go to Sports Direct to begin with and hopefully they have someone there to advise me who knows their stuff as I'll be asking them these same questions. Hopefully I'll get time either later on today or tomorrow as I'm booking the USA trip this morning.
