is just a few months old right? But I got convinced that somehow the shoes are to blame for my sore shins and blistered foot. (I mean getting blisters every time? That's a dead giveaway right?)
So with closed eyes and a screaming wallet, I bought a new pair. This time I went with Saucony. The attendants at Saucony - Dubai Mall were so much better than the Asics girls. Benjamin (sales attendant and a marathoner --- what better combination could there be??), helped me pick the right shoes for me.
He asked me to step on a board to check the arch of my feet. Then he asked me about my weight. He explained the importance of factoring in these things when buying shoes, especially for running. He told me that I should get Saucony Pro Grid Hurricane
.
Apparently I have man-feet! Women's sizes don't fit me well so I got the one designed for men. Oh well.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT CONNECTED WITH SAUCONY AND THIS IS NOT A PAID POST.
most likely, men's size din ako hehe
ReplyDeleteNyahaha!! ok pa naman sana ako sa women's size pero kailangan daw kasi hindi saktong sakto pag gagamitin for running kasi mamamatay ang kuko mo. LOL!
ReplyDeletedapat may space talaga para hindi sya nabubundol dun sa loob ng shoes. Pero kung pamporma lang ok pa.
Congrats on the new shoes! ;) I like Sauconys, too. Probably the reason you got men's in that brand is because Saucony womens shoes are bigger in the toe box and smaller in the heel, which is why I like them for me. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sonja! I am really loving the shoes. It really doesn't matter if its made for men or women as long as it serves its purpose, right?
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by!
When I was training for my Marathon, I had to buy new shoes after only 3 months. My knees and ankles were really bad and I could barely run; with the new shoes it didn't completely fix the problem but I was able to continue training and finish the race! (but yeah, marathon training is CRAZY expensive!)
