A pair of running shoes that actually fit human toe shape (Altra). Years of wearing pointy shoes gave me a Morton's Neuroma and severely limited my aerobic activity.
- __derek__ 4y agos/human toe shape/my toe shape/ I'm a pointy-toed runner. When Saucony stopped producing my favorite zero-drop shoes (the Virrata), I bought a pair of Altras but ended up donating them after two short runs because it felt like I was wearing clown shoes thanks to that that broad toe-box. That said, I definitely appreciate that the running apparel market has expanded to accommodate the broad diversity of human shapes and sizes.
- wintermutestwin 4y agoI can't imagine that anyone's feet fit properly into Sidi cycling shoes, which were the cause of my neuroma.
- __derek__ 4y agoAh, I assumed you meant other running shoes because you mentioned running shoes. I'm not familiar with that brand, or with cycling shoes in general.
- dehrmann 4y agoWhy foot-shaped shoes are so rare is beyond me.
- ROTMetro 4y agoFor me it was toe spacers to fix what those pointy toed sports shoes had done to my feet.
- iancmceachern 4y agoYes! Altras are great, especially when paired with iniji toe socks. Once you get used to them traditional shoes are so uncomfortable
