It's hard to find curved training shoes anymore (for that matter, even racing shoes). Diadora training and racing shoes are curved, buth they are hard to get in the states. Some of Puma's shoes are curved, but they are a bit too narrow for me. New Balance's models are mostly straight, as is most of Asics' line. Some of Sacony's training shoes are curved (Ride), but their racers are straight!!!! Anyone have experience with a brand where both the trainers and racers are curved in the forefoot?
Brooks T5 racer.
I've always had a lot of problems finding shoes that fit. I wear an 11EEEE, have a very high arch, and need one built on a curved last. In other words, I'm doing the best I can with shoes that are never quite right. Having tried on pretty much everything (except Diadora, which I never see in stores) I've been doing OK with Nike products as of late. Can't comment on the racing shoes, as I've never found one that came close to fitting.
But I've got to say that my shoe options have never been better. When I started out in the late 70's, it was brutal. Options have been improving steadily since then.
T5 sucks. Find a pair of T4's.
Jim,
Nike's are way too narrow for my forefoot shape. How do you get by with your needing an EEEE size in Nike's?
