    Nice shoes Wiglet! I love purple. How'd they work?

    YES Laura.. I love purple too. The shoes worked great during my long run today. Definitely better with my arch support insoles in them. My feet feel great still!! :smile:

    I wish I could find some fun shoes but my feet are so finicky: narrow heels, between sizes, can't stand arch support. I've been wanting trail running shoes but have yet to find something even remotely close to working.

    I wish I could find some fun shoes but my feet are so finicky: narrow heels, between sizes, can't stand arch support. I've been wanting trail running shoes but have yet to find something even remotely close to working.

    I have narrow heels + wide toes. That's why I switched to the Altras (they have a wider toe box that allows your feet to splay the way they naturally want to). Also, I use the extra eyelet on the shoes to tighten them better around the ankle/heel to keep them from slipping - this I've had to do with all running shoes. I wear arch support insoles because of my flat feet/prior bunionectomies... otherwise, I feel a lot of pressure/achiness in that area.

    I haven't tried these lace anchors, but I may now... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rhhEJ-7ca0

    We don't have many shopping choices where I live; I'll have to do a day trip to where there's actually shops with more shoe choices than Dick's.

    Laura... maybe open the vid in youtube? It had sound when I watched. Weird.

    I order all my Altras online because our local run stores mostly don't carry them. Or have only one model, but not mine.

    Thanks Wiglet! I'm rather impressed with myself as well ;) In January I did only maybe 30 miles. And eventually spring will come (hopefully? It snowed here today!) so it will be even easier to get out.

    I made it halfway through the day before I realized today starts April! March total for me is 103.37. I'm planning to slowly bump my running miles and keep walking on my strength and rest days so I'll set a slightly higher monthly goal of 125. Eventually I'll go back and add up miles for the first months of the year to keep my year total.
