You must be minted, mine were £14.99 from Decathlon. I've managed to do 21Km in 2 weeks and I can tell their worth 3 Quote

Ha, Ha, I'm Scotch too and I love haggis but I can't stand whisky. Whisky is cheaper over here in France and haggis is well known and appreciated where I live. You can buy it at the boucherie in the supermarket as "panse de brebis farcie" And there is no need to apologise for anything. I can assure you that Scotch folk are the most tolerant and thick skinned people out.....just watch this space ! 2 Quote

I've had under armour shoes for a few years now after moving over from New Balance. I treated myself to the project rock training shoes last, and they haven't lasted well. They are quite slippy in the wet, and I had to get a size 13 for my 11.5-12 feet. The regular line stuff is much better quality ironically. I've just shifted back to Nike and got the below. I tear through shoes very quickly so seeing how these hold up. 1 Quote
