This week I went to a real running store and bought some better running shoes, with the help of a knowledgeable shop owner. I have been wearing size 10 since high school. He measured my foot and was certain that I need a size 11. So that's pretty interesting. It also explains why so many of my dress shoes feel a bit snug. My waist line has expanded since high school, so why not my shoe size too? Perhaps it's time to throw out a lot of my old shoes and buy some size 11's to replace them.
I am hoping that spending more money on shoes, and having an expert help me select them, will decrease the pain I have in my Achilles tendons. Next month I will be running a 5k, so I will find out soon enough.
