Learnt something I did not know today, Apparently American women have bigger feet than European women. I bought a new pair of running shoes from the Reebok store and the girl who did my fitting told me that Reebok make women's shoes to at least UK size 9 because of the US market .

I take a size 7 shoe but with the inserts I have to correct my overpronation I need a size bigger, so I now have a new pair of Reebok Z belle WS.
