Returned my shoes

[Instructor57]

So, after all the searching and decision making on my new running shoes they arrived today , and have also been returned today !

I know I know I shouldn't have ordered them from Amazon !

I'm too impulsive 😁

Anyway , they are too small , even though they are a half size bigger than my normal shoe size.

And I also felt that I did not need the support.

Perhaps my arch is more normal than I thought !

So, they have gone back , and Amazon have already issued a full refund .

I telephoned my local running shop and they will be open a week on Monday , so I shall wait until then and go and have a proper gait analysis done and hopefully come out with the right shoes for me .

I will just have to make do with my cheap ones for a little longer .

I'm only on week 2 run 2 next so it's not desperate !

It’s good to support your local shop and I’ll bet they’ll appreciate your business next week. You’ll definitely have confidence of ones that fit and are comfortable 👍

yes, i should not have been in a rush to buy !

[Jelly-bean16 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

I did the same. I bought online this time but they’re no good. I wore them outside though so will keep for cross training. I’ll also be back to my local shop when they open!

i suppose i was lucky in the fact that they were too tight , had they fitted i would have gone out in them only to find out too late that i probably didnt need support

My shoes are a full size more than my normal shoes, I was a bit shocked and they look like boats on my feet, but they are so comfortable and I've had no problems with them.

There’s nothing like the advice of a good running shop, especially for that first pair of shoes.

Yes, hopefully a week on Monday I can get sorted !
