Just bought new trail running shoes?

my feet are a size 7 (women's), but when i tried the size 7 running shoe (nike), it felt TOO perfect. so i ended up getting a size 7 1/2. they feel like they'd be more comfortable to run in because my toes aren't pushing up against the front of the shoe. they're not too perfect or too big, but did i make a mistake? should i have stuck with the TOO perfect 7's?

If your toes are butting up against the front of the shoe, then they don't fit correctly. Unfortunately, all manufacturers have different sizing parameters and different molds called "lasts", which is why some shoes may fit better for you at a 6 and a half and some fit better at a 7 and a half.





This is why you should take plenty of time at the store to try out a shoe. Wear them for 15-20 minutes while walking around the store, doing little sprints, and pressing them at different angles to get a feel for where the rough spots are. Also, try tying them in different ways to get the best fit as well.





You'll know soon enough if they're the right fit or not by how your feet are when running or walking in them.
Reply:You should have gone to a regular shoe store and got shoes fitted by a professional. Anytime you are buying shoes for running or jogging you should get fitted at a shoe store for the right TYPE of shoe and the proper size.
