So do you really need that much room at the front? (that can fits the whole thumb like many professionals were saying) I’m new with running shoes. Pls answer because I’m really scratching my head right now 😂
@FootGeekzTV23 сағат бұрын
You want enough room so that your toes don't run into the end of the shoe. If the front of the shoe catches when you walk around the shop the shoe may be too long or not a good fit and hence I'd choose a different style that perhaps has a narrower sole profile.

I wish I had known about the "not wearing" hazard of causing the soles to disintegrate when I bought my shoes! I would have made sure to wear them. This happened with a pair of Clark's shoes a few years ago that I hadn't worn for awhile. I thought it was specific to that brand. But this morning I put on a pair of new Dansko clogs that had been sitting in their shoe box for a number of years, and in a matter of minutes a huge chunk of the sole of one completely broke apart. Such a waste! So sad! Now I know...
