We all love new KIT, so yesterday, with its visit to Run, was a red letter day. We also love Kurt and Fred (who was conspicuous by his absence!) because they’re just SO passionate about running and they want to pass that on to their customers.
When you’re buying new trainers, they always want to see the old ones. This is to see how the soles have worn so that they can recommend the most appropriate replacement. They also get you to run up and down outside the shop to confirm their prognosis. I was told to run off around the block twice to compare two different shoes: the equivalent replacement for my two-year old Saucony’s and a pair of Nike’s. There was no contest, added to which the Saucony’s are a hoot… real discodiva strutyourstuff shoes!
The other item on the shopping list was a rain jacket. Their stylish range of Rono gear is excellent and their new gore-tex jacket is a joy to wear… I half hoped for rain today so that I could christen it! A new supersoft base layer t-shirt and a fab iQ beanie hat completed my acquisitions. Kim went for two new top layers… a mid-season zipped top and a rain resistant jacket in red… it’s gorgeous and she won’t be missed when she’s wearing it!
We were so happy on leaving that I left my socks behind… any chance of posting them back Kurt?
