Finding a pair of shoes that fits is key in the running world. These guys know their stuff. I tried and tried, then i found runners den. Yes, they are expensive, but it is all relative. If they fit you in a pair of shoes and they don't work out, you can return them. If you buy them at most other places, you can only return them if you haven't worn them off carpet. I don't know about you, but i rarely run on carpet. To me, that makes paying twice as much for one pair of shoes so much better than paying half for 4 pair that don't work.
They also have all the running clothes, gadgets, accessories and socks a runner could ever want. Here are my faves:
1. Wright Sock- double layer cool max sock. You will NEVER blister or even get a hot spot in these
2. Amphipod- tuck your keys and ID inside the band of your shorts. No bouncing! it stays and you never have to worry. I love it so much i used the large version to keep things handy and out of my pockets while travelling in pickpocket ridden areas
3. Flexitol heel balm- for cracked heels. Nothing else works
4. a nike running shirt with a zip screen pocket for my number so i don't have to find pins all the time. Looks good, doesn't tear the number
