I've come to the conclusion that my running shoes are definitely *not* going to cut it and so spent yesterday checking out the local athletic shoes shops. I popped over to Pod+ as they promise a gait evaluation but it was a totally fruitless endeavor. I explained that I was doing the Moonwalk, needed some actual walking shoes as my New Balance were causing me a lot of pain and then showed the sales assistant my torn up feet. Not sure where the confusion came from but she promptly walked me away from the walkers and showed me to the wall of running shoes and cross trainers. I tried on 8 different pairs and was shocked to find out how much my feet have spread out since having the girls. Woah, I had big feet before, but now they are officially the 'gunboats' that my uncle called them when I was a teenager. Unfortunately they have also become incredibly narrow.
None of the shoes fit properly but the sales assistant did teach me a handy lacing tip or two. I'm off to Sweat Shop in Maidstone on Monday as I've heard nothing but good things and am hoping for the best. In the mean time, I'll be letting the ankles heal and I'll go have a swim.
