new shoes, old blues
I ran with the new shoes and they were not a win.
My left foot was cramping in the way it does when the shoe is fighting with it (it happens in ice skates all the time.) This might have been my sock slipping down, but in general, the fancy shoes didn't improve much. I will try them one more time with different socks and the back hole laced up, but I'm very disappointed. I'm a little worried she looked at my weight and went a little over board with the cushioning.
I was so hopeful. They felt really good in the store.
I also worry I got the wrong size because my feet were, perhaps, swollen that day.
I'm going to feel horrible if I have to return them.

I've had good luck recently with shoes from Altra, their trail running shoe is zero-drop but has great cushioning. I prefer low-cushion for everything but running, because like you, I'm not a small person and I have a bit of mass coming down on each foot when I take those strides.
I've been on the "strengthen my feet not the shoe" thing for a few years now and it really does seem to help.
