    Running shoes should be at least a half size to a full size larger than what you normally wear. I lost a couple of toenails before I was properly fitted. No problems since and I log upward of 25+ miles a week when I am training for longer races. From the for what it is worth category, our feet get bigger as we age: when I got fitted for my sneakers I was surprised to find my shoe size is now a 9 1/2. That explains why all of my 9's, which I have been for years, were feeling a bit snug.

    And a few people have already mentioned socks: I only run in Balegas. And I also swathe my feet in vaseline. I swear by it!!
