Following on from my question about going for gait analysis - I have been to my local sports shop and had a gait analysis. Verdict = completely neutral gait. Tried some trainers to solve the bruised toe problems and discovered asics most comfortable. However in one pair I had to go up a whole size for there to be enough toe room so although very comfy, they felt huge and I was worried I'd trip over! Purchased pair in photo because my feet just felt happiest in them. They didn't give me too much ££ shock either. The lady was really knowledgeable and helpful. I am trying them out on a run tomorrow 😊 Thank you for all your advice. Lots to carry on with 👍

Hi, good luck with the new shoes - they look fab! ✨👟✨🙂
Have you heard of lock-lacing? Really helpful if your shoes are loose around ankle and also stop your toes slipping forwards in your shoe. Video below if anyone’s interested.🙂

Exact same here, super sore toe which was affecting my calf and shin recently! Anyway, I had to go 1.5 sizes up, and yes, they feel huge, but my toe is SO happy 😃. Great shoes!!! 👟👟👟
I just wasn't brave enough was I! The bigger ones did feel springy but my foot just relaxed in these and were tense in the bigger ones so I went with that! Such a hard decision though!!

Fantastic that you got the attention you needed when purchasing your new runners. The correct size really makes such a difference and the way your foot interacts with a shoe when running is so different from when walking. Have a great 1st run in them. Happy running 🤗

A very good buy, I’m also neutral and have a selection of different makes, asics were my first real pair of running shoes bought because my sister wore them for several marathons

Did you go to Cwmbran after?
I did! And told them they were highly recommended 😊
Fab! The woman (Sian) remembered me from last September!
I like ASICS, my old ones were support GT2000. I tried on several pairs, but found that this time I preferred the feel of the Saucony Omni pair. I wear 6.5 to 7 in normal shoes…I’m in size 8 for runners!
I have a pair of Asics and a pair of Nikes. My Asics are the oldest ones and despite their age, they still feel good. So I think you'll be very happy with your new shoes.

I've always liked Asics but their sizes are small so a whole size up is probably about right. Bit short on the length of shoelace too but so comfortable. Enjoy!

I am a size up in running shoes as well. In fact I think that's standard. Happy running in those gorgeous new shoes - I'm sure you'll feel the benefit.
