bubb13s,
sorry to hear abt ur shoes. i ran with uncomfortable shoes (great for gym, crappy for road running) before and wouldnt want to do it again. happy hunting.

tengster...
my blister is at the 2nd toe (count from the little toe) for both my feet.
i think i should not have gotten a pair that fits just nice. regret betul.
maybe i should have gotten 1/2 size bigger.

must i wear the shoe together with the stuffings?

brooks mahal sial~!

bubb13s,
I swear I used to hv 40% brooks voucher lying somewhere. But expired dy - I think I got it from Pacesetters breakfast run last year. Just keep an eye on Pacesetters' events - they always give out discount vouchers for shoes.

oh no....
well if you really need to sell it...create a garage sales thread >.<

damn~! only if i started running earlier...lols
me is not yet pacesetters member le...filled up the form but not yet submit. hahha..

i posted in the garage sale already...

stuffing is only for idle time...when the shoes are resting.....alternatively use shoe trees....I always have a couple of shoe trees for my working shoes.....

your blister is from friction with shoes OR friction between toe with other toes.........? if the later, you can use toe socks (injinji or others)........

actually...buying shoe has techniques....should buy during afternoon time when our feet already expanded....and always buy fit ngam2....sincce the shoe will slowly profile according to our feet. Maybe you should hang on there......

Brooks can get 30% off if you buy from contact you know......Pm me if you want it.....

as for Syd G mentioned 40% vouchers, normally the voucher is good for 1-2months....I bought mine using the voucher given free by a runner in Runnerz...........

tengster,
my blister is between my toes. most likely is friction with my toes.

my shoe is a women's running. its for under pronated feet. supposed to be a light weight racer according to ccube.
its sized US w7.5. details can be found at the mizuno usa website. categorized under performance.

i bought my shoes in the afternoon. i tested my shoe for i dunno how long...ran around the shop like mad woman lidat...my toes then felt fine. the first time i ran in them toes no probs wor...dunno why yesterday i run again...the toes got blisters.

u can get brooks at 30%?????

bubb13s,
maybe u need new socks instead try injinji(sp) ?

Hmm...I'll try the socks idea. May just work.

Added on June 8, 2009, 12:40 pmone question : did you bring your own pair of socks when you tested out the shoe?

This post has been edited by myremi: Jun 8 2009, 12:40 PM

yes...i brought my own socks when i tested out the shoe.

i got some toe socks at home...maybe i can try it out...see if it still gives me the blister.
cos the shoe is just nice in size...i kenot wear such thick socks...my toe sock is kinda on the thick side.

rules of thumbs I learnt from Runnerworlds......

blister between toe = toe socks i.e. injinji socks
blister on other part = double layer socks i.e. wright socks

Ccube mentioned that your shoe is mainly for competition rather than day to day training......I supposed pronated kaki needs stability shoe.....I under pronate, thus I pakai stability shoe.....

yes....brooks at 30% anytime.......retailed Brooke boutique.....can use cc sumore.....One of the fatso challenger bought already......

Added on June 8, 2009, 1:20 pmyeah...normally you wear your running shoe (with socks) to the shop.....experienced sales person (most likely a runner himself/herself) can give you advice based on wear and tear of the shoe.......and guide the buyer to a more suitable shoe......but hor....not all shop salespersons can pakai.......some temberang kaukau.....

Added on June 8, 2009, 1:23 pmI wud say hang on there....try toe socks.....what type of toe socks you have?....wear the shoe a couple more times and allow the shoe to profile to your feet shape....

Hmm.....just a thought : I tend to get blisters using very thin socks for exercising or walking for long periods of time i.e. anything I buy from Soxworld.

I do notice that socks that I buy from a proper sports brand e.g. Nike or Fila, they tend to be more comfortable and absorb sweats better.

Are there sports toe socks?

Added on June 8, 2009, 1:57 pmActually, for those who do running, do you guys buy socks from sports brand or just any type of sock will do?

This post has been edited by myremi: Jun 8 2009, 01:57 PM

I tend to choose from sports brand....initially I only choose ticker socks....now, I tend to choose synthetic material socks for wicking and quick dry purpose........

I usually buy tactical socks..those that are thin and able to wick away sweat fast.

Currently using Nike.

i am here....no weighing in for me...i think it's about 70kg or so.....my target in this challenge is more on running....

today I managed 9.2km in 1hour....been upping my pace with tonne of frustration. leave them all out at the treadmill....poor treadmill, full of my sweat..........I did some squat immediately after the run. I think I left my thigh muscle at the smith machine......

tomorrow....may run in Pearl of Orient......another fun run without target and time..........

badutman - you can use this for keeping track your log www.buckeyeoutdoors.com......

what is this thing for ah?

Im shocked becoz last week saturday+sunday was on BIG cheat, like eating nasikandarlineclear on saturday lunch & 3/4 of domino's regular extravaganza on sunday lunch. scared if lost muskel rather than fattie... maybe d 9.36km jog on sunday help a lot.

There was an error on the server, please email admin@buckeyeoutdoors.com to report the problem.
Thanx anyway, am using runnerworld's log oso got map for easier tracking.

Kase,
its a support group for reducing your weight / bodyfat.

badutman : I've heard that some high carbs diet can help if you're into extreme sports. Or some timed diet to get hold of some hormone/enzyme that is a great fat burner. Need to dig around a bit to find the site again as I didn't keep the bookmark.
