I love my new shoes - they didn't really need
breaking in, are extremely light and flexible, are so comfortable I don't rush back to the car
to change them between runs... and apparently I am definitely running faster! I'm certainly not
aware of my feet when running and the grip is brilliant. I have a fast dog so I thoroughly
recommend them to others who need to be quicker! (11/09/06)
From Sue Ellis...
I started doing agility wearing football
boots because they gave me the extra grip that some trainers can't give, and I didn't want to
slip over and do myself a mischief. They were okay for a while, but I soon started to get pains
in my knees after the shows and had to wear knee supports.
When Gus arrived I realised I was going to
have to run much faster with him so the footwear had to improve. Otherwise I wouldn't be able
to run him at all. Being inexperienced in the art of running - I do strolling and swimming - I
chatted to people wearing different kinds of footwear around the shows and decided to try the
Adidas because I got positive feedback and they didn't look big and bulky like some shoes.
As it turned out It was a good decision on
both counts. No more pains in the knees and Gus and I have just gone Senior. I have had amazing
results with Gus this year and I'd like to think that the trainers have contributed to our
success. What is it they say 'a job only gets done right if you have the proper tools.' I am
going to order another pair just in case I wear these out too quickly as I want to continue
with our success!
