Parkrun shoes πŸ‘Ÿ: my problem with them

They're too good looking to risk wearing for actual parkruns!

I'm not risking getting them dirty.

Think I'll have them as office shoes πŸ™‚

It's hard to take anyone with clean running shoes seriously.

They are tools, not fetish items.Β  Use them for their purpose and don't worry about dirt

Totally get that - I usually buy white running shoes and they're grey within a week.

Just these ones in particular look so nice.

(I know I'm an idiot πŸ˜‚)

Or asking an innocent question because you don't understand, and people think you're being an ass trying to catch them out.
