Should I upgrade my running shoes?
Summer’s on the way and we’re torn between investing in the latest Kathryn Wilson wedges or some go-faster running shoes. What a dilemma!
But last week we got the chance to meet Kevin Paulk, Nike’s Global Running Speciality Director. (This is a guy who’s clocked up 135,000 running kms - talk about walking the walk - or running the run!) Here’s a few tips we picked up about when to trade in your runners - and what to look for when you do:
1. Replace your shoes every 500 kms to prevent injuries and fatigue. If you’re a regular runner, you’d be amazed how quickly you clock up the ks.
2. Use it or lose it. Like any muscle, our feet need work to stay strong and stable. While running shoes have become over-engineered in recent years, Nike’s swinging back to a natural approach. Their latest range is based on the way our bare foot behaves - encouraging it to work a little, rather than wrapping it up for a cushy ride
3. Rest your shoes - whether it’s your wedges, clogs or trainers, shoes need a day off to breathe, air out and recover. If you can, use more than one pair of runners and give them a break every other day
4. Pretty up your run. Finally, someone’s thinking about us girls! We like the way Nike’s new Lunarglide looks and feels light, feminine and edgy…. bound to make us go harder and faster for way longer!

I’m not so much into going for a run but I like going for walks every night after work & weekends of course. Is anyone able to tell me what some really good walking shoes are? Posted by AstonDB9 "on" 01/20 "at"11:30 AM |
Best of the rest
