New runner - bad feet!
Posted: Fri May 14, 2010 5:49 pm
Having read a few of the forum posts I am so happy to read the advice and encouragement that people have given - I started this running campaign today with the handy iPod app. and I emmensely enjoyed my first run!
It did, however, highlight that my 'running shoes' I bought 5 years ago aren't right for me!
I was, therefore, wondering if anybody could give me some advice on shoes that would suit my feet but not cost a fortune.
I have 'collapsing arches', probably due to years of constant deck shoe, dinghy boot and flip flop wearing and I also have incredibly hard skin on my soles. It makes running on roads quite uncomfortable and as I live in a city, grass is harder to come by!
Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
