Question:
Does anyone know where I can find
recent information on women's running
shoes? I've worn Sauconys for years,
but haven't been able to find a
new style that's comfortable (the
toe box seems to be narrower, and
there's so much padding in the new
styles that my foot doesn't fit
well vertically). I'd appreciate
any information about articles that
are in magazines that I can still
buy on the stands, or even better,
any place on the web I might be
able to find info. Thank you very
much.
Answer:
I don't know much about recent articles
and such in part because I tend
to ignore the ones that start, women
have narrower feet than men. (I
have the world's widest foot and
stores tend not to have a woman's
shoes wide enough and a man's shoe
small enough.) I have had good luck
with New Balance, if you are looking
for a wider toe box.
Nike has recently
widened the forefoot in many of
their newer models. The best way
to find the right shoe is to go
your local running store and try
the shoes on. Hopefully you live
in a community where the running
store has knowledgable sales people.
