New trainers?

As Starburst1218 says, 'get new trainers', if you wish, you could go to a specialist sports shop, get a gait analysis and buy the recommended shoes and socks to match, I have found out that since buying running shoes I cut my toenails more often than I used to, new shoes and cutting your toe nails a bit more often should stop the bleeding.

I didn’t use to know that you need to buy trainers a half size bigger than you do your shoes. Is this possible? Or do you normally get a half size bigger?

No I got my regular size. They feel comfortable but maybe I do need a bigger size.

Go a full size up. Those toenails may come off now
