Am I Mr Strange Foot
![[Deleted User]](https://wd.vanillicon.com/d8f6625735ed1a3dbf2dfdd7358734e6_100.png)
I'm going to give up running ... I've just spent a day and a half trying to get hold of a pair of Saucony Grid Stabils and met with various different flavours of "sorry, haven't got any in that size".
Sweatshop, Bournesports, Derby Runner ... no luck there !
Before anyone thinks I'm a size 18 or my feet are wider than Birmingham - all I'm looking for is a bog standard size 10.
Am I strange ... are people laughing at me when I ask for 10s and thinking "what a misshape this guy must be" ?
Should I consider cosmetic surgery to have my feet changed to 9.5 or 10.5 - loads of Stabils of that size available - or should I be looking at getting a job in a circus - you know - baggy trousers, red nose - that kind of thing ?
Help, Mr Saucony, make some more size 10s before I have to enter bathchair and blanket events !

Cheers, V-rap.
Birmingham Runner has saved the day and come up with the goods - so I'll be able to hold my head up high as I run by, no longer accompanied by a swarms of flies all homing in on the vapours drifting from my old Stabils.
Wonder if Saucony would like them back for "research" ???
Cheers

I get my shoes from the other local establishment, Sutton Runner. They don't have the fancy gait analysis equipment, but they have never failed to have the shoes I want when I go in. It's such a friendly establishment that I sometimes wonder whether they make sure they get a pair of "my" shoes in every 3-4 months.
Last time I went to replace my shoes, the fellow in the shop demonstrated that the shoe was still fit for running in despite having a good 500 miles on it. I bought a new pair anyway, but bashed another 500 miles of very comfortable walking out of the old shoes before reluctantly throwing them away because the midsole had definitely expired.
Cheers, V-rap.
