Not much left - but the very lightweight waterproof jackets looked good. £10, extremely light, but felt durable enough. I've had gear from this particular Aldi brand (Crane) before and have found it to last much longer than most other clothes I have.

magnumpti Sep 2013 3:18pm, 2 Sep 2013 112 posts	0 magnumpti I've had plenty of cycling and running gear from Lidl and Aldi over the years. The cycling shorts and tops have lasted ages and I prefer to wear my Lidl cycling stuff over my Sports Direct stuff, their shorts chafe even on my 4 mile commute. In fact I bought another cycling t-shirt in Lidl yesterday which is a great fit and very comfy. I also bought some natural running shoes from Aldi yesterday for £15. I thought I'd give them a try as I've often fancied going natural and I'm wondering if it will help with my plantar fasciitis. If they are I'll let you know, if they cripple me I won't be posting on here anymore!

I really wish I could buy the normal running shoes (although I prefer the women's colours) but I just don't feel that I could. What we need is for someone who has plenty of cash to buy them and give them a proper test.

But I don't recommend their running shoes. lack of support, and no stability after a few runs. I am a mild overpronator so that may have something to do with it. I'd bought the shoes cause they were cheap and thought why not give them a try? wish I hadn't bothered. Btw, as I'm a bit of a tight wad in the past Ive also tried decathlon's own running shoes- didn't get on with them either, for same reasons. (decathlon gear- great value also) in future I'll stick to old season colours asics online to save a few bob and not aggravate my plantar fascitis
