This episode is sponsored by Mizuno and their new Neo Vista 2.

Now me and Andy were actually at the launch of the previous version of this shoe.

And it is what's known as a super trainer, which I think is perfect for lots of different runners

who want a bit more of a high performance out of your daily runs.

I think getting out and going for a run is an achievement in itself.

So having a trainer that is going to support that and allow you to do whatever you want to do in a run is an achievement in itself so having a trainer that is going to

support that and allow you to do whatever you want to do in that run is an added bonus loads of

people ask us whether they should jump from a regular running shoe to a high performance super

shoe and this is the perfect middle ground if you want to try that out has a nylon plate it has lots of

really comfortable foam over 44 millimeters of foam in, which is actually quite a high stack, has a slightly wider midsoil

for extra stability. So really comfortable, you can run at any pace in it, including

picking the pace up to run faster. Lots of beautiful colourways too. So if you want to check

out the Mizuno Neo Vista 2, then head to sportshootschews.com.

We recently asked you, the listener, to send in your suggestions for an opener to the show.

And we have an absolute belter today.

Before we begin today's episode, I, Andy Badley and my co-hosts, Rick Kelsey and Sarah Hartley,

are to issue a formal apology. We have previously acted in a derogatory manner to persons

who don't sock and shoe prior to second sock, second shoe. We have labelled them psychopaths,

causing immeasurable pain to the global sockxhoe community, of whom there are dozens,

and many of whom were already subject to stigmatisation prior to said comments.

We are sorry. As reparations, the Running Channel will hang the official Sox Shoe, Sox Shoe flag,

which proudly depicts a barefoot alongside a fully-shoewed foot.
