sam_gamgeeI got new sneakers today!
It's high time I did - the ones I've been wearing are definitely looking worse for wear and since I wear them every day for work, and sometimes more depending on what else is going on....
A friend of mine, M, works at a women's sporting goods store, so I went there to get a pair. I figured that way I could have her help me, because otherwise I'd go, "These look pretty" and end up buying a pair that are completely wrong for me. And, as expected, M asked me a few questions, measured my feet, looked at my sandals and helped me find a pair of Nike sneakers. And she was really sweet and gave me a discount, so I ended up paying about $65 instead of $90.
And I found out a few things about my feet:
1) My left foot is a size 7 and my right is a size 7.5. (Though I wear a size 8.)
2) I'm one of the rare people who walks more on the outside of my feet (aka supination). And that since not many people do it, shoe companies don't really make shoes to help with that.
