Thought I'd better put a pic on of my new shoe's, as is the law! Now who started this?!😀
Anyway, I tried 4 pairs on in the shop after gait analysis showed I had a more neutral gait, I thought I pronated more, and am now 2 sizes up from usual casual shoe size which is 9 and 10 for running shoe then the next pair 10.5 to 11 for these. Seems a to go up every time I replace my running shoes! think it's down to different brands as well. I found these so comfy as soon as I put them on and immediately took to them, but when I winced at the price the guy gave me a free pair of socks, but they're supposedly the best for me with more cushioning , we will see!😊

Ooh nice 👍 , I seem to have gone from pronating to neutral.....and now up 2 sizes from my normal shoe size.....🤔......not sure about the pronating thing, as you don't see actual running experts talking about it......but the cost of the shoes makes no difference......I have found I don't get toe bumping and bruising in the slightly bigger ones....
Madge, I could have bought a pair of saucony's For £55, they felt OK but indifferent to my old shoes, didn't want to pay £130, but these felt great as soon as I put them on. I noted what Bob said and will wear them around the house first to see if any niggles arise..
Madge, feet get bigger as we get older, like ears don't stop growing, Meanwhile, our feet become longer and wider with age, as the tendons and ligaments that link the many tiny bones lose elasticity. This allows the toes to spread out and the arch of the foot to flatten.
So they say, and it came up on a game show recently, you'd think that we'd have burrs the size of elephants by now then wouldn't you, but then you're unique floss, one of a kind!x 😁
My lugs are tiny, too. I went and ordered the headphones that you said you'd got for your teeny tiny ears and have had to send them back as even with the smallest bud thingies they would not go in. I am now getting over the ear ones. Sigh.
By the age of 10, most girls have completed 90 percent of foot growth. A boy completes about 80 percent of his foot growth by the time he is 10 years old. The feet have stopped growing for most girls 14 years of age. Foot growth stops for boys when they reach 16 years of age.
Nevertheless your feet can "mechanically" get larger as you age as your ligaments bones and muscles give in to age and become more relaxed. You can have a bigger shoe size as you get older but it isn't because you are still growing but because you are aging. You stop growing by age 24, feet and all.
I had a new pair of Brooks Ghost 9's very briefly at the weekend. I bought them Saturday but after half an hour wearing them around the house my little toe kept falling off the insole! I took them back on Monday and exchanged for Saucony Ride 10's which are a direct replacement for the Saucony Ride 8's I've just worn out.
Still running Dave, had a few months where I didn't run much but I'm running every other day again. Lifting weights on my non running days.
The wife and I did the Longhorn 10k as our first event on 23rd April and really enjoyed it. No training at all and about 6 runs in the 6 weeks prior to it s I'm more than happy with 1.15 for 10.45k
My boy turned three late January and he's a little belter with apparently no fear 👀
Yep, not bad, been trying to keep up the with 1-2 runs a week and like to do Parkrun, and going out with missus, she's doing c25k again. I've got a virtual 10k to do in June...
Oooh they are lovely Dave , gorgeous colours . Hope they do the business for you .
Yes that's an interesting point about your feet getting "bigger " as you get older . I used to be a Size 4 and now I need a size five and a half running shoe .
Blimey at this rate , my feet will be like canoes by the time I'm 60 !
Love to slinky , I think you should change your name to Silver Fox xxx
Yes on my iPad. God knows what I've been sending out all this time! Think I'll just stick to exclamation marks in future. Everyone knows where they stand with those.
Thanks - just thought there might be a nice little running shop in Croydon I didn't know about. Went to a different Up and Running a few months ago and they weren't that helpful so glad you got on okay.
In Croydon there's 2 Sportsdirect.com stores, my favorite shop may be Decathlon, a big store, not bought anything there yet, but asked a question about gait analysis and got a good willing response. Then the next nearest store for me would be intersport in Oxted not been in there though. Then going into London run and become..
Thanks for those. I bought my first shoes in Sportsdirect by Ikea and been to Decathlon near there as well but just bought a water bottle. It has been very useful!!
they looks pretty awesome, looking for some new ones myself. i dont think these entry level asics are up to the task any more, being quite a heavyperson i think ive tortured the hell out of them and they dont feel right anymore so have decided to stop at week 9 and do the smart thing. i was looking at these hoka on one clifton 3s(bit of a mad design) but they are quite cushioned and good for wider feet. they are usually £100 but can get them for £70, any thoughts? sorry for the post hijack
