The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I wish I could just snap my fingers and have all my shoe problems solved forever.
Regular fit is way too narrow.
4E is a little too wide but feels great up to about 90 minutes, after that I get nasty blisters on the inside edge of both feet.
2E is a little snug but at least solves one blister problem. Unfortunately it creates another by rubbing my pinky toe raw.
Going up a half size might help. I feel like the very patient owner of the new specialty running shop is going to go soup nazi on me if I bring back one more gently used pair.
I know $12 to $17 sounds ridiculous for a pair of socks, but shitting the bed during a race because you got blisters from buying socks that were $5 for a pack of 12 doesn't really make sense considering the effort you put into training and the money you spent on shoes and race registration.
I'm obviously not sure what kind of socks you run in, but a lot of people do run in $120 shoes but the cheapest socks they can find.
Haven't tried Swiftkicks yet but I pretty much exclusively wear Balega blister-resistant socks. I'm 99% sure it's a shoe problem, but if going up half a size doesn't fix it I might try some different socks. I've heard good things about Darn Tough, too.
