in my two year exercise history, i have never bought a pair of exercise shoes and kept them. no matter how much research i do beforehand and andno matter how many sales clerks i send back to get me another shoe to try on, i always return the first pair and keep the pair i buy afterwards. always the same reason - they make my feet (foot) numb.
today i was so excited to buy the asics gel cumulus! when they are on feet, it feels like you are walking on a really soft carpet. until i started actually exercising. the spanish inquisition starts - my feet start getting numb. if you've never experienced numb feet then i can tell you that exercise is the last thing on your mind when your footsies are calling for some serious attention. at first i thought i was buying the wrong size, i actually did, because you are supposed to buy half a size bigger, since your foot expands due to the increased blood flow. after the size was bigger, i figured that my high arche is not being properly "tended", but this time i am clueless. thankfully, shcheels has a pretty flexible return policy...
