  • Running shoes for narrow feet-HELP

    Help friends...

    My birthday is Oct 3 and I have asked for some much needed
    running athletic shoes. Only thing is I have a very narrow foot
    that is hard to fit. Can anyone mention some brands of athletic
    shoes that they KNOW run more narrow? I never see narrow
    athletic shoes in the stores anymore and I won't have a lot of
    time to shop when I do get to....

    It has been so long since I have purchased a decent pair of athletic
    shoes some suggestions would be helpful. I never find the shoe store
    personnel very helpful. Most of them don't even exercise!

    Any suggestions?

    I would suggest going to a running store (not an athletic shoe store that sells everything) and talk to the staff there. They can show you different shoes, analyse your gait etc. Not to say you'll necessarily buy them there, but it's the best place to educate yourself. It's been my experience anyway that the staff at running stores know what they're talking about. I went to an athletic shoe store and asked the sales person about motion stability shoes because I overpronate and they just stood there for about 2 minutes with their mouth hanging open. He didn't have a clue.

      My feet are skinny & bony. I have had great success with New Balance, which come in a narrow size (AA). Be sure you get them a full size longer than your street shoes.

      I loved the NB 991s and I REALLY LOVE the 1221s. Size them at your local NB store and then order them off www.onlineshoes.com and you'll get them cheaper and with no tax or shipping.

        Thanks so much for your great reply!

        My feet are long and skinny and boney (10 1/2's)--so I might
        even need a 12...don't even know if they make a ladies size 12
        shoe (I hate my big feet-but I'm 5'10...) Thanks for recommending
        the web site too--never heard of that one. Happy running!

          Yep. Go in, get fitted - and that doesn't mean you have to buy shoes there from them
