Trainers for Mum?
My mum has just been to the psyho therapist and he told her they will be using some exercise machines int the next session so buy some trainers. My mum isn’t exactly unhealthy or any thing (she likes going for walks but her knee and arm have been playing her up hence the psyho) but she has as far as i can remember never owned trainers. I have had a look at some shops online and she really won’t want to pay even the cheapest £55.00 I have found which will mean an endless trip around the shoe shops in reading looking for something which doesn’t exist.
I want to help but I also don’t want to push how can I convince her to accept that she will have to pay more than i now she want’s to with out upsetting or putting pressure on her. I love my Mum and want what’s best for her but I don’’t know how I’ll get her to buy something that will do the job and she’ll like?

I got some for £35 not long ago. Surely there's a JDSports in Reading and they advertise trainers online for less than £55 - she won't need anything fancy

It's really sad to hear about your mom, I hope so your mom wiill be fine ...
Thanks I’m sure she’ll be fine the Psyho said it was because of under use after she hurt it last time she was kind o nursing the knee for a bit so they just need build bit of muscle and she’ll be zipping down the ski slopes with me again in no time .

With things like trainers it is worth spending a little extra on them if it means you can get some that actually fit your feet properly. The structure of the foot is quite complex, we kind of need them for getting around (!), and crucially what goes on in the feet refers upwards to the rest of the body. So if your mum is wearing shoes that don't give her the appropriate support she needs, it probably won't help her knees (and any other niggles).
Ideally, the best way for your mum to get some shoes that work properly for her would be for her to go in person to a specialist running shop for a gait analysis, then the people who work there will bring out some shoes for her to try on. Yes, it can be quite expensive, but as I said it really is worth it, as it should help prevent extra aches and pains resulting from unsuitable shoes, plus you can get a good few wears out of a decent pair.
It looks like Reading has two specialist running shops: Up & Running and a Runner's Need.
Spoiler
If you don't want to support the high street shops, or if your mum isn't able to visit any specialist shops, Brooks has a fairly decent shoe finder (as do plenty of other brands and online retailers) – I personally really like Brooks shoes, and find them really comfortable for running and walking. Also some websites like sportsshoes.com offer a good range of shoes with a decent discount!
Spoiler
But £55 for a pair of trainers is pretty cheap – the ones I normally get are around £130-135, but I don't mind (too much) paying that as I know I get a good pair of running shoes that work for me
