Keep or Return?

I always wear black trainers.

I was looking for a pair that would help relieve plantar fasciitis and found Hoka. I don’t know what I was thinking, but I guess I was feeling ‘orange’.

Really unsure if I like them. They are extremely comfortable, but part of me likes the aesthetics and the other part doesn’t.

Do they look silly on? I’m just not used to colour on my feet.

Keep or return? Thank you.

Is pumpkin season. Go for it!

They are in your own words extremely comfortable and for that I would keep them! Also if your always used to black they will look different to you but you will grow to love them!

Yes they are. I can’t feel my PF at all.
Good point.

It’s just the colour scaring you after being so used to black. They look great. And comfy as well. Win win.

@Lolreally

It’s really reassuring that people like them. Makes me feel less silly. Thank you. I think I’ll keep them.

Yes, they feel very loud. Perhaps I can tone them down by wearing all black.
They are comfy so I will keep them. Thank you for the feedback!

Noo, now you’ve started, add the odd bit of colour here and there. You’ll get used to it. 😃

Look up Oofos

They are made for PF. They are amazing for comfort . Runners recovery shoes. They do atrainers

NipplesSkywards · 16/09/2022 18:54

They look lovely
can I ask how much they were ?

needasleep · 16/09/2022 18:58

A podiatrist recommend hoka trainers for arthritis in my ankle they are the best trainers I have ever owned. Very light and comfortable and I can walk further before the pain kicks in. I have bought a waterproof pair for the winter. Definately keep them

nzborn · 16/09/2022 19:01

Keep

Ilovevacations · 16/09/2022 19:01

Thank you everyone. I think they are growing on me now :) and your feedback has given me confidence to keep them.

@NipplesSkywards they were (imo) expensive at £109, but then I normally spend about £30 on trainers if that. But I bought them for PF recovery, so was willing to splurge a little to get rid of pain.
