Breaking in..

[Scrumpy]

New shoes.. 
Why is it that they fit perfectly in the shop then bloody hurt when you try them on at home.!
Ordered a few pairs from Next.. Out of six pairs I am keeping two..
I think I have cracked it.. One strap over Adidas trainers..
Most unusual.. Brilliant for the Spring/Summer..
Comfy shoes make me happy...

I mostly wear trainers too, Scrumps.   I have insoles insoles in them as well.
The natural cushioning underneath my feet has nearly worn away,  so what with that, and dropped arches,  mine can get very painful,  especially on hard ground..

Trainers and boots for me. I still have shoes for occasional use. I don't find them comfortable but not painful.

I think in shops they only get a very artificial cursory trial. Once you've been out in them and found they are uncomfortable it's too late to take them back.

I don't possess any trainers, boots for me in winter and sandals in summer.
