The man doing it said that my feet roll inwards badly, I knew this anyway from my ballet days

He showed me the film back and oh my god it looks like my ankles are going to snap everytime my feet land on the ground, ekkkk it went through me.

He has advised i ask my GP for physio and he gave me a new shoe, Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7, he said they should support my ankle well but as the damage is already there it might need some physio.

The GTS 7 is last years shoe. The GTS 8 is the current shoe. Where did you go?

I bought GTS8s just recently. Very comfy shoe Watch out though, sometimes they change the layout of the shoe between models, so the GTS7 might feel different

Oh right, I went to Tri active in Chester, nearest place to me and he recommended that shoe.

Is it much different from the GTS 8?

I paid £85, grrrrrrrrr. Just seen on wiggle i could get the GTS 8 for £72!!!

Ahhh well u live and learn

GTS 8 and 7 are much the same. Both great shoes. You pays your extra for the service you just dont get on the web!

Very true, well at least I know my gait now and I can order those shoes in the future

How long are shoes supposed to last for?

Around 500 miles

Really? I thought they were good for a thousand

You do 1000 miles in a pair of running shoes and you WILL get injured

... And if you do 500 hundred consecutive miles in that solitary pair of trainers, the same is likely to apply. Two or more pairs (and the more, the better) of trainers in rotation lessens the risk of injury quite considerably.

(... And no I don't work for a shoe manufacturer or retailer... )
