For some reason I’m having a hell of a time finding a pair of shoes that fit me right. Last couple pairs have been pretty painful, and unfortunately I don’t realize it for a few days.
Altra Had something nice like 30 days to wear them with full return policy. I thought they would be great because they run wide, but unfortunately after two days they hurt like any other.
I think the WaveRunner is tried and true, but I swear my feet hurt changing over the years.
Is there a good vendor out there that will let you return them after they’ve been worn outside?
Edit: Sorry, meant to reply to OP and wasn’t paying attention. Nike’s is solid for ID members too. I have used both and rotate both brands in my training.
I agree with some other recommendations- Nike.com, Brooks website, etc. How about your local running store who has a treadmill where you can test out shoes? ( if they are open)
That being said, if so many shoes are ‘painful’, can you elaborate? Do you have any foot issues like bunions, old injuries, etc? How and where are they painful? Just wondering if this is a cushioning issue, or something else.
If it’s available your best bet is head to your local running specialty store.
We have customers all the time that do mail order and after 3,4,6,8 tries come in try on 3-15 different shoes and we don’t see them again until they need another pair.
