Old v new - what to do?
![[Deleted User]](https://w6.vanillicon.com/6df1985131d78ea625c7aba6a2a71e9a_100.png)
Advice please! I'm running the Cardiff Half tomorrow so do I A) wear the shoes I've practically worn out and which are starting to niggle/hurt my lower calves, or 
wear the new pair that turned up today? They're the exact same make and model as the old pair and felt fine on a short run this morning. Last time I replaced like for like I had no problems, but then I wasn't running 13.1 miles the next day. I know they say not to wear new gear for a race but what do you reckon in this case? Thanks!

Same make .. same model, I'd choose the new ones over the old
they always say don't try new shoes on the day of a race.
However, as per the 2 posters above go with the new shoes. You've tried them out at least once anyway.
Wore the new shoes with no problems, niggles, blisters or pains. Phew. Also ran a h/m PB. Doubt the two are related though! Thanks again for the advice.
