New shoes arrived on Friday so I tried them on for a run with Laurence the following day.
Verdict: absolutely fabulous. Extremely comfortable and very light. They are the new Saucony Kinvara. I chose them as they are supposed to get the runners to transfer weight from the heel to the front of the foot when running. I think my shin splints are due to my heel strike and these seemed like the ideal answer to reduce this problem.
They were great and I was able to run 11km in 57 minutes pain-free for the first time in several weeks. My old shoes had probably just worn out as I don't replace them early enough before they start causing me problems.
