The situation was dire. I was in desperate need for new runners to ensure that my health and fitness goals were not sabotaged (first world problem?) so after discussions with friend and trainer E, I headed to The Running Centre in West Perth.
The team there do a great job and really are the experts when it comes to all kinds of running. The sales assistant was as chipper as she could be early on a Saturday morning (I suspect there may have been a slight hangover lingering) and went about fitting me for the perfect running shoe.
After a brief questionnaire whilst standing on a heat sensitive platform it was concluded that I have 'neutral' feet. She then filmed me while walking on a treadmill (a view that I never need to see again - arse close ups are never good) and she explained the type of shoes I could go for.
This is one pair that she selected, and being an Asics fan I was happy (the purple may have won me over). They are light yet supportive and very comfy!
I would highly recommend The Running Centre if you want to be sure that you are getting a quality shoe that is right for you. And with a $20 voucher for me and a friend, it really is a winner!
See you on the pavement.
