Asics

Oh
My
God

I have found the perfect trainers.

I placed a question on Ask or Answer the other day about trainers, and ended up investing in a pair of Asics Gel-Track. I say 'investing' rather than 'buying' because they cost a bloody fortune.

I've never had 'real' trainers before. All of my trainers have been purchased from good old George or Cherokee in the past (fine designer names, I grant you).

These are amazing. How can one wax poetic about trainers? Well, try a pair on, and then come back and ask the same question.

AND they're purple! :>>

And yet ... it is too hot to even walk anywhere today, let alone run.

  Well, I did try and balance it out by washing the car - that usually brings on the rain. Not this time.

  But now they are on school holidays so I shan't get much time to use them. Oh, well, something to look forward to in August.

  They really are. Honest. Would I lie to you? Seriously, though, mine have only ever been crap and these are an education.

Ya can't beat a decent pair of runners! I have a pair of Nike Airs.. Best trainers I own! Cost £80 which I thought was excessive.. So I only wear them if im forced into exercise!

Glad the trainers are comfy.. And funky too!! x

  I did consider them, but the 'independent' review that I read said they didn't get as much as the Asics, so I bought them instead.

A good pair of trainers are needed if you are doing any kind of walking or running. I am going to be in need of a new pair soon. As I actually have worn my last two pair complete out.

  I wear mine out but probably because they are cheap crap.
