I don't know if you've tried this, but sometimes the way you lace your shoes can make a huge difference in the way they fit and feel?

Google the subject and you'll find a myriad of lacing styles for different problems. I lace my shoes in a way that locks my heel in the heel cup, but doesn't cut the circulation or allow excess " slop".

Might have a fix for you problem?



Yes, lacing has helped... I think it was DD that shared that with me last year. But poor shoe design can be only be helped so much. These shoes were meant for somebody with duck feet... And the size was not wide.

If you Google " shoe lacing for specific foot problems", you'll get many links that show how to tie your laces for better fit and feel.

Of course if you shoe is poorly constructed or the initial fit is way off, then lacing might help, but not cure the problem.

I have size 10 1/2 EE feet, but my heel is narrow. I had a lot of heel slop, so the lacing tip that locks the heel in, makes all the difference in the world. I use it on all my footwear that laces.

There's a video from Runners World, and a link to the New Balance site that shows lacing techniques. Go to New Balance, click on Tech Center, and the lacing tips are on the right hand column.
