    You brought some second hand trainers for £30 and you didn't buy the right size?

    What have you said in your email to the seller, and have they responded yet?



    You have contacted the seller first, haven't you...?

    Trainers dont usually come in half sizes.
  • It's not a good idea to buy used running shoes you can really damage your back and feet. Best to see a chropisted (pronouced foot doctor). Often people who run long distances need some part of their foot built up to protect them from the pounding.

    Also some brands really don't suit some people.

    It's not entirely unheard of though.. I used to have to sell the sodding things.
