I know this would sound silly but someone told me that giving shoes to your partner means that “they will walk away.” In other words, by giving shoes as a gift would bring badluck and the relationship with end. It’s just superstition of course but I don’t want to test fate, you know? Cause we don’t really know if it would happen or not if I do give my gf shoes.

She’s an avid jogger and loves to run every morning. The first time we met was during an international dating social event and I couldn't help but notice how fit she was. She told me her workout schedule and diet regime she was on and that got me thinking, why not support her the best way I know how? I was thinking of giving her a pair of really good running shoes as a birthday gift a month from now but it’s just that, I’m doubting myself with that whole superstition thing. So plan B would be another thing that can help her out with her love of fitness. Maybe track pants? Can someone give me some suggestions?
