new shoes, old blues

[forgotten_aria]

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.

If I do end up returning these (I really hope I don't have to) maybe I'll go for sturdier On's because I do love that my On don't tell my foot what to do and hugs it pretty closely.

*nod* I did also eventually get a pair of Brooks Pure Flow shoes, which I also like, simply because the Cloudsurfers wear out on me before they've hit 400k, which is pretty short-lived for such expensive shoes. I have had better luck with the Clouds, but I have no idea whatsoever how durable their newer models are.
