Fit of new running shoes

guest — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 00:34:49 GMT

I went to the local running specialist store. Turns out I was wearing shoes that were a half size too small, after I got fitted with the right shoes, they feel so much better. I also got sole inserts, I'm not sure if they are really necessary though.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll take a second look at them and perhaps get another pair that are better fitting!

I recently purchased some new running shoes for my first half marathon that I'm training for and I'm not sure I have the right fit, or size for that matter. After I get over 1 1/2 miles my middle toe starts to go numb and continues being numb until I'm done running. I've loosened the laces near the toes as much as I could and I have about a 1/8 inch of room above my toes, but I'm not sure if they are the wrong size or if I just need to break them in. I've only worn them twice and have only run a few miles in them each time. Any suggestions?
