Got some new fancy joggers last week.
About 6 months ago I tried to take up jogging. I bought some shoes, which ended up being an expensive mistake. I get shin splints and thought that spending $$ = no more shin splints. Well to start with I got the wrong size, got blisters and basically gave up.
To start fresh and stop wearing my skate shoes, ( just need to add, I don't skate, just like that style of shoe, not as much as thong's though ) I make the trip to athletes foot. First thing, OMG how expensive are shoes. I have 4 kids and when they get a bit older I think I will have to take out a personal loan to visit the shoe shop. However I was getting the right pair for my feet, was just going to hand over the card and deal with it later. I don't want to have any excuse to not exercise so this had to be done.
I got measured up, first thing I hear "I am going to have to put you in mens shoes" Guess I have whopping huge feet. The guy brings me out about 4 pairs of shoes to try on. I start looking through the boxes, boring white shoes. Look, I have nothing against people who wear white standard runners, I am just not one of those people. Then I come across a pair that look like a peacock has done the deed with a rainbow lorikeet and the is now their offspring. I instantly know that although I would prefer a red or green "plainer" type of shoe, that wasn't an option. These shoes have no white on them at all, even the laces are multi-coloured. So I hand over my card and now the rainbow lorikeet / peacock coloured joggers are all mine.
The only thing that leaves me thinking is they are mostly pink & purple, with some touches of blue and yellow with sparkly laces, and I bought these from the mens section. I have never had a more girly pair of shoes in my life.
