The bizarre world of trainers
« on: January 18, 2010, 01:10:53 PM »
I went looking for a new pair of trainers today  - no specific brand name in mind just a decent , supportive ,cushioned,  bouncy , comfortable pair for use at the torture palace.

Did I want ones for cushioned, stability or for motion control  eeek:

Did I want to use them for performance or for running  eeek:

Did I want 'N' lock systems, air systems , gel systems,  holes in the soles

Are they for forwards movement ( running) or sideways movement ( aerobics )  noooo:

Did I need a second mortgage to buy them ?

Anyways didn't buy a pair today - they didn't have any in a colour I liked  lol:

Buy cheap ones from Peacocks, Matalan, etc.

You don't need all the sooper-dooper support/padding etc, they are not good for you despite all the advertising blurb.

Flat ones are best for treadmill work
