ease in to shoes
by: Anonymous

I'm starting to run, and I sell shoes (not for long), but one thing I've heard is to ease in to a new pair of running shoes. Different fits and feels won't be the best right away. I have a pair of NB that I will be using as running shoes (749's) until I decide I don't like them, then I will probably more to a Asic (I don't like Nike).

Go a short distance in your NB, then your Asics and then keep building up to the NB more. If they're comfortable in the store, where you're not running, they may not be a good fit. Do you need a stability shoe? If not, then you may have gotten the wrong shoe.

Not NB - but Brookes
by: Run U Mother

I haven't worn new balance but I can tell you a bad fit can ruin you! I wear Brookes and have been buying the same style for 2 years. But I think they changed the shoe somehow. The last pair I bought are killing my feet! Same thing about not being to return them - I've been suffering but can't take it any longer. I am afraid to buy another brand but I think I have to try something new!
