10000 steps: Day 8 – split into 2 walks

I went to visit my Parents with my son to check on the dog after it was attacked and also swap cars as I was borrowing my parents car for the weekend. While we were there myself and my son took the dog for a walk which took me to just over 5000 steps!

When we got home we chilled until 9pm and then went for a walk to get over 10000 steps for the day! We ended up doing 11,287 steps for the day so not a bad day walking wise.

After the walk I was researching bare foot or minimalist shoes and I decided to buy a pair to try to see if they will sort all out my shin splints and foot issues that I have been having since I started walking a lot more. I have also been wearing vans and being barefoot when I am in the house and my foot pain is reducing already so fingers crossed the shoes will eliminate the issue.

I went for the Vivo Primus Trail 2 FG shoes which were expensive at £120 but get really great reviews and apparently last a long time so the cost is offset by the longevity of the shoes!

I also liked the way the shoes look so will not have a problem wearing them.

The shoes should be here early next week so I will be able to get testing ASAP!
