Hi, I ran in Brooks Glycerin 15 and loved them. Bought the same shoes again, same size but took "wide" by mistake. In the new shoes my both feet get numb after 1-2 km. How can it be? The shoes should be even more loose than the previous. Any suggestions are welcome.
Wider is looser and therefor you have to tie your shoes tighter which is why your feet go numb. When you tie your shoe to tight it cuts off circulation, causing the foot to go numb. Take em back and get the right size and width.
Try method 6 and then use top eyelets for heel lock to prevent slipping from loosened. I had same issue this fixed it.
My feet always go numb when I start wearing new shoes. I usually like to break new shoes in by walking in them for a few days or weeks before I start to run in them. I was talking to a local owner of a shoe store about this. He mentioned that it could be happening because your feet are so used to the old shoes that have been shaped by your feet. So there is more pressure on the bottom of your foot by the new shoe. Start walking in new shoes for a week before you start running in them. I notice that the numbness goes away after about 30 miles of running.
