Socks and Shoes

In response to Courtney's comment below...

Yes, that blister WAS gross!!! I will have to try to dig out some of our pics from the last time we walked (I can't believe that was 2002!) I will try to post some if I can find them.

I was re-fitted for shoes last year at Metro Run & Walk and they did an amazing job. Same type of store as Elite or Fleet Feet (both of those are also great stores.) I got another pair of Mizunos - which I LOVE! I walk on the outside of my foot, and I have really high arches and kinda wide feet. These are great shoes - they barely feel like I am wearing anything. I have been wearing them too much though, so I think I am going to go back and get two pairs that I will only use for training and the event.

Don't forget to get good socks, too!! The first year, I wore WrightSocks classic socks. I got a pair of the CoolMesh ones last year (they were cute!) and I think I might like them even better. I am going to get a few more pairs of those and see how they work. I like the cushion in the Thorlos socks, but I think they make my feet sweat too much for this use. They are great for non-cardio at the gym, though.
