Thanks Snags & Squizz. The porblem is I own(ed) no trainers. These are what I live in all day everyday, and before that pair it was a pair of D&G skaters. As i wear them in my job I cant really attempt to run in them yet. Anyways when I brought them I also brought these (ladies) as they were heavily reduced as I planned to use these as every day too. Well I never did and wore them around the house for an hour before running in them today. Obviously a bad idea!

The problem I have is I got real wide feet, but really small/short feet too. Becky said somthing about buying mens trainers but they arnt avaliable in a 5/5.5? I dont know what to do now? I supposed going to a shop and trying them on would be a good idea but I dont know where to start. Also this will sound wird but it felt like I was running on the sides of my feet today, as if the trainers didnt have a big enough 'bed' for me to run on. Unlike wellies and skaters :rotfl:

Next planned run is Wednesday

It may be that you just need to get used to running in something other than wellies...rather than running in them why don't you just wear them out for a walk for the next couple of times....and get some compeed for your blisters. I always get blisters when I wear new footwear of any kind...

There will be trainers to fit you Pap, don't worry - but your best bet is to find a proper running shop, rather than a high street sports shop. I think I know roughly where you live, although you can PM me if you want - I will have a look and see if I can find a shop near to you that might be able to help.


Edit - is this one anywhere near?

Looks like they do gait analysis, and remember, you don't have to buy the trainers from them, just make a note of their recommendations and look online for the cheapest prices (although I ended up buying mine there and then because the staff were so friendly and helpful).

You should be able to get boys/ juniors in a 5/5.5 Pap which might be a bit wider.

Pap - its usual to need a size bigger anyway and they do make mens trainers in 6 - but i really think you need to try some styles on as you only tend to get blisters from too small shoes (as long as you are wearing socks )

Thanks Sammy. The problem is its not blisters, the trainners have actually rubbed all the skin off my heels. I guess I could try walking in them for a few days to see if it helps... Something to think about

Hi Snaggs, yes I have found that one and this one. However they will laugh me out of the shop. I am in no way a runner, I have never ran on a treddie and how can you go in and say umm 'I have ran all of 10 times all but one in wellies' :rotfl: maybe I will just persevere with the ones I have now and see if things improve

No, they wont sweetie. That's all in your head. I very much doubt they would have laughed the 'old' you out of the shop, but they certainly wont laugh the 'new' you out. Why would they - you're the same size as me, and they don't laugh at me (not openly, anyway :rotfl:).

Thanks Squizz and Becky. I think I will either persevere with the ones I have or go to a shop and try on loads. I never knew you may need a bigger size shoe for running, wow! I was indeed wearing socks Becky, I suppose you have learnt from yoru mistake
