a piece of clothing from others
When I was sophomore at university, I had a habit of doing morning exercise with girl friend on the campus. But I had a little problem; I mean the run shoes I was wearing were totally worn out, and my girl friend advised me to buy a pair of new ones. But I did not care, since they were still very comfortable to wear. So her advice just went in one ear and out the other.
However, to my surprise, one day she bought me a pair of new ones. They were Adidas, and were the colour of coffee. I was so moved because I had never expected her to buy me such expensive shoes, which must have burned a hole on her pocket.
Anyway, I was very satisfied with the shoes. First things first, they were pretty lightweight. They were apparently only half as light as my old ones, which allowed me to jog briskly. Plus, they were also breathable. I wore them while exercising for about an hour without feeling warm and uncomfortable.
Yes, that’s the clothing my girl friend gave in those days. If it weren’t for the shoes, I would have been jogged that comfortably.

Yes, that was what
Note >I had never expected her to buy me such expensive shoes, which must have burned a hole on her pocket.
Meaning she bought you many pairs.
The non essential clause should elaborate on her act of buying something expensive (summative modifiers), instead of a relative pronoun for the shoes > shoes can't burn a hole ...
They were apparently only half as light as my old ones, which allowed me to jog briskly.
As in , "Those shoes, which allowed me to jog briskly, were only half as heavy as my old ones."
To jog briskly > Were you not able to do that with any shoes?
I wore them while exercising > You mean you took them off when you stopped your exercise?
There are 2 actions here : wearing ( for a longer time frame) and exercising ( for a shorter time frame) > Use "when" to show that you are still wearing , even though the "exercising' has stopped.
