New Shoes!!

I started walking 2 miles every night to help with my weight loss. By the time I returned I could hardly walk, my feet were dying! I would wake up the next morning and have to hobble around for a few hours. The years of wearing "Impractical Shoes" (do you here me DM!) has killed my feet. I use to love pointy toe thin heels. Now, I have been left with no padding on my feet and I think I have a neuroma. I will be seeing a podiatrist next week. Yesterday, I decided to go to Dave's Performance Footgear to be fitted for a pair of shes and I learned several new things! I was told that your athletic shoes should be 1/2 to 1 size larger to keep your toes from hitting the end. Really! This would explain why my toes always hurt. Also, since I have such a high arch I should be wearing an insert in ALL of my shoes. Finally, even though I am walking, running shoes are sometimes better because of all of the features. So here are my buys a pair of Adidas Supernova. I am happy to report I wore my new shoes with the insert on my walk and my feet felt fine, I woke up this morning and my feet do not hurt!! Oh and one more thing, Americas totally mispronounce Adidas (uh-DEE-duhs) it is a German word and should be pronounced like this. (this is for Iris). I had to pass that bit of knowledge onto the sales person at Dave's and I think she though I was nuts.
