1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Running sneakers are different than sneakers that you might wear 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: to do strength training, to a hit class, to do spinning. Yes, 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: you can wear them for some of those activities, but 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: different activities require support in different ways. Is it just 5 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: me or is this cold getting to be a little much? 6 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: Emily and Body here bringing you another installment of Hurdle 7 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: Moment from Hurdle Now.

And on 11 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: Wednesdays with Hurdle Moment, my goal is to get just 12 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more grand. On Wednesday's I dive into 13 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: my mission to inspire you to be your best self, 14 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: move with intention, and have some fun along the way 15 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: by talking through either commonly asked listener questions or just 16 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: topics that I myself have been dealing with on the regular, 17 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: either as an entrepreneur or training for a marathon, or 18 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: in my personal life or whatever the list goes on. Today, 19 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: I am chatting to you about running sneakers Now. There 20 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: are a few great things about running. Whether you love 21 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: it or you can't stand it that you cannot deny. Firstly, 22 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: it can help you keep in shape. Science shows also 23 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: that it helps you live longer, and it requires very 24 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: little equipment. You know the basics, like a good pair 25 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: of shorts for girls, a great sports spra and of 26 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: course the right pair of sneakers. Now, picking the very 27 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: best running shoes for you, though, can seem arduous. The 28 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: market is huge. I think I wrote an article a 29 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: couple of years ago about how to choose running sneakers, 30 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: and I found this one statistic that pin the industry 31 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: at a value of thirteen billion dollars. Feels a little 32 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: like doctor Eagle saying that, to be honest, running shoes 33 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: come in all shapes, sizes, withs looks prices. They can 34 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: accommodate different foot types something we'll get into in a minute. 35 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: The possibilities are endless. It goes without saying that the 36 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: question how do I pick the right shoe? Or what 37 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: sneakers should I be wearing? Or what sneakers are those? 38 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: These are among the most popular questions I get in 39 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: my DMS, which probably makes sense because I likely have 40 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: upward of seventy pairs somehow tucked inside my crazy apartment. Today, 41 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm talking you through the biggest mistakes you might be 42 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: making when you're buying new sneakers and what you need 43 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: to know before you swipe your card at checkout before 44 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: we get into that.

And with that, 67 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: let's get to hurdling running sneaker buying mistakes again. I 68 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: get questions about this all of the time. For the 69 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: first like year or two of running a slew of 70 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: half marathons, probably even up until my first marathon, I was, 71 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: without a doubt wearing the wrong running sneakers. For a 72 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: few reasons. I was making a lot of the mistakes 73 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: that we're about to dive into. The first mistake wearing 74 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: the wrong size sneaker. I myself wear a ten women's 75 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: street shoe. I run in at least a ten point 76 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: five sneaker, and that size does vary a little bit 77 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: brand to brand. Now, the reason for that is when 78 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: you are running, when you are out there pounding the pavement, 79 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: as you can imagine, with that repetitive motion, your foot 80 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: is going to swell a little bit, especially the longer 81 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: that you're on the move, So to accommodate that swelling, 82 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: That is why experts will conventionally suggest that you size 83 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: up in your running shoe. Again, I size up a 84 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: half size. I know some individuals that size up a 85 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: full or even more. It is seriously on a case 86 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: by case basis. A popular question, how will I know 87 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: if I'm wearing the wrong size running shoe? Well, a 88 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: few indicators. One, some foot pain is certainly inevitable, and 89 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: also the ever popular black toenail situation. If your shoes 90 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: are too small in the toe box, you'll get a 91 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: lot of that bumping up against the front of your shoe, 92 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: which will lead to those black and blue toes that 93 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: runners love oh so much. I'll be real. I used 94 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: to give them a lot when I first started running. Again, 95 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: when I was wearing the wrong size shoe, especially after 96 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: a marathon, it became a lot less frequent. I think 97 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: I actually haven't lost a toenail. This is cute in 98 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: I don't know years, and that's because again, sizing is important. 99 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: I also find when it comes to training shoes versus 100 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: running shoes. I might stay more true to sized in 101 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: a training shoe if I'm just doing some lifting in it, 102 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: versus again that constant pounding motion when it comes to 103 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: a running sneaker. I'll mention this a few times over 104 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: the episode today, But the best way for you to 105 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: get checked out as to what size you should be 106 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: wearing is by checking in with an expert, whether that's 107 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: at a running specialty shop. If you're talking to an 108 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: orthopedist or a physical therapist, they'll be able to take 109 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: a look at your foot and tell you what might 110 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: be the best sizing for you. Mistake number two buying 111 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: for looks. Oh god, I get so many inquiries asking 112 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: me what's the best looking long distance neutral sneaker. Okay, 113 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: first of all, a buzzword in there that I threw 114 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: out for the first time. Neutral. There are different gates, 115 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: and gate is essentially a fancy word for your manner 116 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: of walking or how your foot moves. You can have 117 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: a neutral gate, which means that your foot hits the 118 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: ground evenly as you run. It doesn't pronate or supinate. 119 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: Those are the other two buzzwords when it comes to 120 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: foot type. If you pronate, that means when you walk 121 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: or you run, your weight tends to be more on 122 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: the inside of your foot, and if you supinate, that 123 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: means when you walk or you run, the weight tends 124 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: to be more on the outside of your foot. Now, 125 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: pronation is definitely a natural movement of the foot. I 126 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: think I've read statistics that generally a normal and I'm 127 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: using air quotes here pronation of the foot means that 128 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: it's rolling inward about fifteen percent. It then comes into 129 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: complete contact with the ground. You're cool to support your 130 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: body weight without any problems, and then it goes back 131 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: into the gate cycle and do your next step. When 132 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: you over pronate, you're seeing more than that fifteen percent role, 133 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: and that's when you can start to experience some issues 134 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: up the chain, whether that's ankle pain that then comes 135 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: up to your hips and then your back, and you know, 136 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: before you know it, it's all kind of tumbling over 137 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: and over. So you want to know, do I pronate, 138 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: do I supinate? Do I have a neutral foot? Again? 139 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: This is something that you can determine by going into 140 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: a run specialty shop, hopping out a treadmill, having one 141 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: of the employees there take a look at your feet 142 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: and see how they're hitting the ground. There are sneakers 143 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: that are made for all of these different foot types, 144 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: but science shows what's most important is rather than buying 145 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: buy foot type. If you happen to be someone who 146 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: does over pronate and you put on a neutral shoe 147 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: and it feels good for you, comfort is the most 148 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: important factor. That's what the research shows. Again, you need 149 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: to shop based on comfort, not based on what you 150 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: see someone wearing on Instagram. The best kind of fitness, 151 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: the best kind of movement, is one that you can 152 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 1: do without pain, without injury. So put that aside when 153 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: you're shopping and look for a style or a brand 154 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: that makes you feel your best. Now, I'm not saying 155 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: that there aren't options out there that are both esthetically 156 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: pleasing and great for your foot. They exist, trust me, 157 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: I have many of them for me. Some of my 158 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: go to neutral styles that I love their look. I 159 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: wear the Nike Vamo, I wear the A six DNA 160 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: Fyte often New Balance ten eighty. And when it comes 161 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: to racing, I ran Chicago in the Nike Next percent 162 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: and I'm currently testing something I can't quite reveal just yet, 163 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: but trust me, there are a few carbon plated options 164 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: on their way to market, all of which are targeted 165 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: at a neutral gate and have a lot to offer. 166 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: I just said another buzzword which I feel like I 167 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: should explain, carbon plate. And basically what the carbon fibreplate 168 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: does is it's embedded in the midsole foam of a 169 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: shoe and provides like a super responsive feel. It helps 170 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: to propel runners forward while still allowing the shoe to 171 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: contain super soft cushioning and makes for a really comfortable ride. 172 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: I describe when I run in the next person as 173 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: like it just feels like that I am super springy, 174 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm a little invincible, and I just feel really fast. 175 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: All right, back to sneaker buying mistakes. The next mistake 176 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: you might make buying sneakers you're not shopping around now 177 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: again going into these running specialty shops. I'm a huge fan. 178 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: They are so knowledgeable, they have so much wisdom, but 179 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: you might not always get the absolute cheapest deal. With 180 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: that said, if you do want to shop around, if 181 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: you want to save some money, head to the internet, 182 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: where all things can be found in all different ways. 183 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: There is one catch with that, though. The beauty of 184 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: going into a store is that oftentimes they have some 185 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: sort of buy it, love it, or return it guarantee, 186 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: which means that even if you have worn the sneaker 187 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: on a slew of runs you've done twenty miles forty miles, 188 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: if you're not sold on the shoe. In that case, 189 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: you can still take it back and get a refund, 190 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: Whereas if you are buying a sneaker from a vendor 191 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: like Amazon, I have a hunch that they're not going 192 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: to offer you that same flexibility if you will. The 193 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: next popular mistake when buying running shoes is that you're 194 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: not buying them often enough. I have a lot of 195 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: sneakers in my apartments, so I have personally experienced a 196 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: lot of different iterations of popular running shoes, which means 197 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: when I'm out there in Central Park or at the 198 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 1: gym and I see someone running in sneakers that are 199 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: years and years old, I cringe a little bit because 200 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: all I can do is wonder just how much where 201 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: do they have on them. The golden rule is that 202 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: shoes should be replaced every three five hundred miles, and 203 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: the best way to keep track of that is either 204 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: with an app, if you use Strava, if you have 205 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: an Apple watch, if you sink your garment. All of 206 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: these different wearables will give you summaries of how much 207 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: mileage you're accruing over time. You can also look at 208 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: the sneaker and see visible signs of wear. If you 209 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: notice on the forefoot or on the heel there's an 210 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: excessive amount of wear, then these are big signs that 211 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: it's time to maybe spoilte for a new pair. Also, 212 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: those signs of wear might be able to tell you 213 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: something about your gate cycle. Again, if you do see 214 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: excessive wear on certain parts of a sneaker and you're 215 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: a little unsure of what that means, bring those sneakers 216 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: into a running specialty shop, a physical therapist's office and 217 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: get some input as to what areas you could be 218 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: working on to strengthen your stride and more evenly, wear 219 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: through those sneakers, and, last, but not least, the final 220 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: mistake you might be making when buying running shoes is 221 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: not doing it. Listen, running sneakers are different than that 222 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: you might wear to do strength training, to a hit class, 223 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: to do spinning. Yes, you can wear them for some 224 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: of those activities, but different activities require support in different ways. 225 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: For example, Nike, you just released a shoe called the 226 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: Super Rep. It highlights grooves on the sole at the 227 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: toe which create flexibility for things like push ups and 228 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: planks and things that aren't necessary for running. This is 229 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: a sneaker that's not meant to be worn for miles 230 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: over miles, but again, it's great as a circuit training, hit, 231 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: short run, other fast paced exercise kind of sneaker on 232 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: the run. You're looking for something that really caters to 233 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: your foot type, do yourself a favor and save up 234 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: for a few different types of sneakers for a few 235 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: different activities, including different types of running. If money is 236 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: what's holding you back, I get it. I've been there. 237 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: One of my go to strategies when I'm saving up 238 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: for something or they it is a new pair of sneakers, 239 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: or maybe it's something a little bit bigger, like a 240 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: trip to Italy. I put aside a certain amount of 241 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: money every month for the thing it is that I'm after. 242 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: This way, it might seem small at the time, but 243 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: after a few months you have exactly what you need 244 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: to go for exactly what you want, and in doing this, 245 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: you establish this want as a priority. The most important 246 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: piece of advice I can offer you when it comes 247 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: to buying running sneakers again, is trust your gut and 248 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: really go based on feel. I have logged plenty of 249 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: miles and sneakers I didn't necessarily love the look of 250 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: because I knew that they were the right fit for 251 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: my foot. If you have any other questions about what 252 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: to do when it comes to buying running sneakers, you're 253 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: looking for some help, I am here to guide you 254 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: the best that I can.
