Hello everyone,
I was looking for some advice or personal preference on post running footwear.
I hear different people suggest all sorts from sandals to barefoot. I'm looking for something I can slip on after a race to give my feet a break.
I've seen these from Solomon, which aare supposed to be before and after sport shoes:

you don't need anything special - just comfortable. don't waste your money on anything special
i always take a pair of old flipflops
Thanks folks. To be honest, i did think it was a bit of a gimmik but I mainly wanted to see what other people did. I used to just keep my shoes on I ran in but I don't want to do that anymore. What do you all wear?
depends on the weather and what I'm doing. at home - barefoot or slippers; out - fit flops or another pair of comfy footwear in colder weather
Thanks for this. I think flip flops are for me. I spend 90% at home in barefeet but wanted something when I'm out and after a race.
I said Fit Flops - not flip flops. they are the much comfier - and much more expensive versions - of flip flops. www.fitflops.co.uk
Ah, thought that was a typo. Look comfy but not cheap
some on sale at the mo though....half price for many styles
believe me, once you've tried them you'll love them. I now have some fitflop shoes - on my feet as I write
nope - loads of mens styles Cougs. get with them bro...
What about crocs??
errm - how would you like your death?? slow - my preference - or quick???
go wash your mouth out and never utter that word again
Why whats wrong with them?
Eh?? What's wrong with a good old pair of...
"recovery shoes"...this really is a gimmick...flip-flops, sandals, slippers...anything that feels comfortbale is fine...
Thanks guys. Slippers, GENIUS, never thought of that. Although I'm barefoot at home so will need to get a pair.
Crocs flip flops in the summer, cant beat the crocs and I have a pair of NB 110's that sit in my car that i use the rest of the time, they are comfy to wear without socks, for some reason i never took to running in them but they are my favourite post run shoe if it's too cold for flip flops!!!
And don't forget the essential post-run lung-reoxygenator...
oh yes fit flops = so comfy (if expensive) after a loooong run where your feet think about divorcing you.
Board shoes for me, although my son disowns me if I walk around town in them. (£6)
i actually wear my vibram classics home from a race, or merrell's,
Take a look at Xero Shoes (formerly Invisible Shoes) - www.xeroshoes.co.uk
Simon.
what about post run headwear?
Depends on whether you win or not. If you win, you'd need to wear the crown.
I couldnt see them, where are they ?
