Well fitting trainers are so important- I knew this, but did not really follow it and as a result, had a black toenail last year. Well, I have finally got around to a ‘fitting’ at the RunningHub, a specialist shop, run by keen TW Harriers runner, Allan Cheek. He took over an hour to video analyse my gait and suggest specific trainers that would support and cushion my feet (I am a diabetic). And I learnt something new: there should be a thumbnail width of space between the end of the toes and the trainer. No wonder I had problems with my old pair!
