Got some New Balance off road trainers yesterday, OK, i know they maybe aren't the very best but we have the factory (and hence a factory shop) nearby, so they are a bargain and get pretty good reviews. http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-240-400--13067-2-1X2-3,00.html Cost is an issue at the moment, as i need to find some more dollars to get sorted out with clipless shoes and cleats for the bike.
The girl in the shop was helpful, and although it wasn't a bells and whistles fitment, at least she sounded she knew what she was on about!
They are performing well around the house at the moment
