Trainers 'faulty' after ~2 months

kuepper

I phoned TKMaxx this morning and they gave me a reference no. and told me to take it to a store and ask for an assessment. I did and after trying to be fobbed off with credit I got a full refund.

People's imagination seems to have run riot a bit on the trainers and my gym activities. The Adidas 'workout' trainers were discounted from about £90 as far as I can remember so a decent price level imho. The use they got was 20-30 occasions of : walking to/from my car (about 10m), walking to/from the gym to my car (50m) , then a low intensity aerobic workout walking on treadmill/ bike/ cross trainer, lifting very light weights (seated) and stretching/pull ups on a mat plus walking to/from shower. ie nothing that had any serious stress on the trainers - I'm 74yo and 10 st so not trying to become superman.

That's all well and good saying that now, but your original post was quite sparse on details, so people were trying to cover different aspects to help you.

You also didn't say what kind of trainer they were in the original post, so they could have been something like the below.

A good outcome for you. (And with a bit of extra info in your original post our imagination wouldn't have run riot)

60 hours on a treadmill is going to be a good distance. ?
