As a fitness writer with nearly 20 years of experience covering running shoes and fitness gear, I’ve tested more trainers than I can count. And when I say I tested more trainers than I can count, I really mean it. It’s actually become a running joke on the school run that I turn up in a different pair every day, and it’s usually a case of the brighter, the better.
The thing is, I’ll run in my best women's running shoes most mornings. I then shower, get changed, and put on another pair of trainers to go about my day. I do my daily chores in them, head out for a lunchtime walk to reset my posture after a morning at my desk, and then often drag the kids out for a post-dinner stroll too.
