I asked for advice.
I analyzed.
I tried on about a bazillion pairs.
I agonized.
I took forever.
But finally……..
I PICKED SOME NEW RUNNING SHOES!
I have never really agonized so much over a shoe purchase in my entire life. Nor I have I ever really paid attention to how a pair of shoes fit my feet before. I mean, seriously, I’m a woman… women wear all sorts of impractical shoes for the sake of looking good. I am in no way used to analyzing how something feels past “do I think I can stand on this for 2 hours at a time?”
I’ve been for a walk in them and I must say they feel awesome. The heel is all cushy and the toe rolls forward so nicely; there’s plenty of traction and I feel so supported.
I absolutely cannot wait to run in them.
I’m hoping they’ll clear up some of the issues I’m having with my longer distances. Only time will tell!

Did you get fitted for the running shoes? One of the best things I ever did was go to a running store and have my feet analyzed. He helped me pick the perfect shoes and I’ve LOVED them ever since. I will never wear anything else! I just wish I’d gone sooner to get fitted!

I didn’t go to a running store to get fitted… I’m still a bit phobic for that (I know, it’s silly) but I did talk to the track coach where I work and he had me bring in my shoes and he looked at how the soles were worn and suggested some shoes… so I’m halfway there, right?
I keep telling myself I’ll get up the courage and go and get analyzed…
