So, I am about to get off my fat ass and sort my health out.
I have being doing a small group class once a week for about 3 months just to get me going and now I have some basic fitness back I am ready to get into some more serious training.
I need some new shoes for workouts - I will be doing a bit of everything really, but mostly enjoy weights so some heel support would be nice.
I have been out today to a couple of shops and shocked at the lack of any kind of expert advice on what shoes are best. I was met by "well it just depends what you want really" and "we don't give any advice or measuring".
The last time I bought running shoes, they at least did a test to say if you needed a high arch shoe or not. It seems like everywhere is just "try it on and see how it feels". My Asics that I have now have started to fall apart unfortunately but they seemed to hit all the boxes before, but what I have found on the shelf these days seems flimsy and inferior quality to what I have now (they are about 6 years old).
So, trusty OCUK - I have wide feet. I struggle with a lot of off the shelf footwear due to this as getting anything wide enough usually ends up being too big length wise.
So looking for some recommendations.
> Wide Fit
> Gym use for weight training, HIIT etc
> High arch foot
> Budget up to about £150 but willing to go higher for better quality
Thanking you!
