Last Saturday it was that time again. A time I do not relish, I find a waste of money and consider sheer ugliness. I tried to get out of it, tried to find an alternative, tried to procrastinate just a few more weeks. I tried to justify using the cast off Van's from "zoon lief", which due to the lengthy lacing up process he hates. Telling myself that they had only been worn a handful of times and still had a lot of wear left. But the weather had turned and it could go on no longer.
Runners or sneakers
With trepidation I got in the car with hubby and went to the sports store to buy runners. Also known as sneakers in your part of the world.
By no means are hubby and I runners, but we do walk 5.5 km almost every day at a very good pace. So one of the most basic pieces of equipment needed by us was footwear with the proper fit, design and comfort. It sure makes a difference in walking in comfort but most of all it prevents unnecessary injuries. Being prone to these, I had no other choice. I came home with runners, and I hate to tell you but they are pink, I hate pink runners, but they were on sale.
