Shoe Shopping

My husband loves me but sometimes he shows it unconventional ways. 

A normal husband would give girly stuffs such as jewelries, shoes, bags, wallets (hopefully with cash!) to his wife.

Gian, the husband does things differently. For the holidaze, he bought me a new pair of running shoes. I appreciate the thought that he wants me to stay fit and healthy and i've been dying to buy a new par too! But the idea that he wants me to keep on running makes me laugh. 

Gusto mo talaga akong pagpawisan and hingalin parati? 

Oh well, I know naman the husband wants the best for me so sige na nga.

We went to Toby's Sports at SM MOA last January 5 to buy ourselves new pairs of running shoes.

The husband and I have planning to buy new pairs of rubber shoes. We want to buy running shoes that are really designed to support our feet. They do not have to be good looking basta it will give our feet and knees the support they need.

Kung dati kasi, when we decide to buy a pair of shoes, we thought any model will do. For as long as it's soft it's okay. Yun pala, that's not how things should be. We should only buy training shoes which are really designed for our feet to prevent accident. 

Now that we are more passionate (daw) with running, we are more conscious of what we wear. We want to improve and beat our Personal Record (PR). If we don't get the right shoes for us, it might lead to having knee injuries. O di ba, horror story ang peg. 

After taking the tests to determine our foot type, we found out that I have neutral pronation. That means I need stability shoes. According to the running shoes guru, stability footwear combines cushioning and support features. 

I was directed to the stability column then I saw these pretty babies. 

ahlavem!

I got the blue cascadia. aren't they the cutest?

I was so happy with my new shoes that i forgot about the husband. No pictures pero this is what he got.

Gian needs motion control shoes which gives emphasis on medial support by having dual density mid soles  roll bars or foot bridges. Kung anu man effect nun, let's ask the husband na lang.hahaha
