New shoes


If you can believe it... I got a new pair of shoes! These Brooks Cascadia 16 Trail Running shoes. Jane also got a pair (in hot pink - it was all they had). 

I've never had trail running shoes, but these were on sale at 46% off ($70) and we thought they might help in snow as well. We shouldn't put many miles on them so hopefully they will last us a good while.

Of course, it was a snowy day when we ordered them, and now there isn't any. I'm sure that will change again. And, who knows, we may even do another trail run one of these days.

I ordered the size 9 first and they were too big. So I sent them back and got an 8 1/2. I don't know that they're the most comfortable running shoe I've ever worn, but they do have a nice wide toe box. I'm sure that's why the 8 1/2 fit so well.

I've yet to wear mine but I may take a walk in them today. And there is more snow forecast for this week. I still have my old shoes with the screws in them, but am hoping these will work a little better. We'll see.
