HAd some delivered today but I haven't got home to give them a whirl yet. Doing a 10k on Sunday (Notfast in Newark. Do you think after a cuople of 5k's tomorrow and Friday that I should be able to run a 10k alright?

The alternative are a pair of NB's that were bought very cheaply prior to me realising that you need proper shoes to run!

Joopsy,
Were you recommended these shoes after having your gait assessed?

Yes I did get the gait tested and these came out for me, I did the 10k today all fine apart from the same problem, alot of blistering on my right arch, left arch spot on. Maybe I have different arches and I need to look at orthotics? I will see how they go.

Try vaseline on your arches first - what sort of socks do you wear?
