Running

I got these shoes at Runners Need (and got videoed on the treadmill for the megalolz) and the right shoe holds my foot quite well and stops it rolling in too much. I also bought some seamfree, double-layered socks after a particularly savage blister session and they help a little (as in, my feet stay intact for a couple of miles). Dammit, I would love the number of your physio!

I am confused by those laces. Heel lift = your heel sneaking out of the shoe? I don't think I have that.

On shoes with the extra hole at the top. You thread the laces out of the second to last hole, in to the last. Then cross them, and thread each into the resulting loop on the other side. It basically tightens things around the ankle.

The point is that there are dosens of clever ways to lace your shoes to help them fit your feet.

In my experiance your feet will HTFU over time, and the shoe will wear in.

Some shoes just dont work for some people though.
