Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

My shoes always wear out far quicker than I expect, now I know why.

I took an old Gopro type cam out with me today on my run to try identify why my left shoe always wears out on the outside of my foot, I now now why.

This is worth doing if you think you dont land correctly, or just to understand why your shoes wear out in odd places. I always thought I landed on omy forefoot, not so!

Not flat land

Yip, photographic evidence! Not sure I can be bothered to do that! I run wonky. I think I know this! :-) G

A couple of years ago, I bought some Nurvv insoles (on offer); they consistently showed that I was, well, take a look:



Since then, I found that buying shoes with some support (rather than neutral, as advised by several in-store gait analyses) leads to less wear and more mileage out of the shoes I buy. I no longer use the insoles, but kept them in case I ever want to check my footstrike again in the future.

It is, Bowman πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ and glad I only paid about the price you'd pay for a pair of trainers; but as a system, it's all an inferior duplication of what I already got from my Garmin, with the exception of the footstrike, which (once I'd established a regular pattern) wasn't necessary on every single run.

Yea I looked at it, and it’s a bit pricy.
The only thing I’d like to know it’s the foot strike thing, and when you know that from a few different runs and paces, not much more use I guess.

I've had gait analysis done and it made a big difference. I used to suffer a lot with shin splint pain when I ran in neutral trainers but after the gait analysis recommended support shoes I've never had it

Got something to say?
