Running shoe for skinny feet

I have the same problem, just not as bad as you apparently. I love the adrenaline. I tried on a pair of brooks Trance, and really really liked them, but they are expensive. Sweet ass shoe, a bit more narrow than the Adrenaline imo anyway. If you've got the money, find them.

I have same problem. I wear the adrenalines but the running store i got them from tied them differently for me so that they are tighter around my ankles. I forget the name of the way they laced them but they make these loops then put the laces through them?

It's called heel-lock lacing.

Runner's loop is what it is called. I have to do that with my shoes. I also have a very light orthotic that I wear in my shoes which helps take up some space. Without it, I would only be able to wear racing flats (can't go minimal, too many problems with shin splints to risk it).

Funny that the first two posters wear the same shoe that works for me. Maybe the adrenaline is as good as it gets.

seriously, find the Trance. Very good shoe, and again, I thought it was more narrow than the Adrenaline.

Buy a woman's shoe. They are designed to have a snugger heel fit versus forefoot. Buy a wide width it you really find the B width too tight.

I have tried women's shoes. I would happily wear some girlie purple thing if it fit well. But, at least for Brooks and Asics (the shoes I could find in stock that went up high enough in size), the women's shoes are the exact same shoe as the men's. I always assumed that women's shoes were made differently than men's. But, I measured, compared, tested, and could not discern a difference, except for color. I asked a guy at the shoe store about it, and he told me that manufacturers use the same molding for men's, women's, and widths. The way they make different widths is to sew the webbing tighter.

Of course, these are just my amature observations and anecdotes. Anyone else know anything about this?

adrenalines + heel lock lacing = great

yep the lock lacing is what i was talking about. works wonders with the adrenalines
