Running

It doesn’t help that somewhere down the line I internalised £40-£50 as ‘about right’ for a pair of decent runners.

I have an eBay alert for my regular Sauconys and buy them whenever they pop up in my size and barely-used condition.

Other than that I tend to just trawl for online sales with limited success.. I think my local club has a permanent 10% discount code from sportshoes.com which would indicate that this kind of discount readily available.

I also have 3 very active sons so I remain acutely aware of the cost of running shoes.

Where’s everyone buying their running shoes from now, or are we all just shop lifting/sponsored influencers? Nowhere’s cheap.

I check eBay / classifieds for barely used stuff as well, usually with little success - then I ("shopping"-) google the exact model I want.. now is the best time I suppose to catch a good deal.
Found the 1080V12's for €135 (instead of €190) which is still a lot of money but hey..

I buy fake ones online in China :(

eBay is where you can get cracking deals on barely used shoes, I've bought a few pairs in recent months.
I've found when new versions of shoes come out ( Saucony endorphin 3 and Alphafly 2 recently) owners of the previous versions start selling inorder to assist with the purchase of the new version.

I’m a sponsored influencer

Was looking on the nike website and they have quite a few options lower down the pecking order in their sales…

It is crazy what super shoes/inflation have done to my view on shoes, anything less than £180 and in my head I’ve got a bargain whereas I used to pick up pairs of last seasons inov8 a for £40-50.
