I wanted to be a schoolteacher but they wouldn't let me because I swear too much.

Not true: I have no patience for kids.

I've decided to buy new running trainers (I must be getting committed spending my birthday money on that!😂)

I have a neutral arch but I'm unsure of what size to get. I distinctly remember the last time I went to a running shop the gentleman saying to go up 1/2 a size at least, maybe even a size in running trainers. At this point I still wear the same size trainers as my regular shoe size. Though I have managed to bruise a nail or two

Sounds like you need to go a bit bigger if your toes are hitting the end. Mine are a size bigger. As you run longer your feet will likely get hotter and so a bit bigger too. Go to a shop where they can advise and you can try on lots, there should be a space between the end of your toes and the shoe

Yes it's normal to go up a size, but manufacturers vary. I'd still go to a running shop, take your old shoes so they can see where they are worn, and take their advice. Once you've got a pair you like then you can buy online in future.

I've just had to buy new off readers, & foolishly changed to a different brand, Saucony, they seem to come up smaller than my usual Brookes, wish I'd tried them on in a shop first, would have gone up a size. & as some one said bought them online next time. Lovely comfortable grippy shoes though.

About This Thread

Maintained by Mandymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2017 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Happy running :-)
