If you're a novice runner and have no knowledge of proper running shoes, then it's probably a bad idea to buy a pair without trying them on...like me. I got a pair online while in my third month of training and it didn't work out as I hoped. I went on a three mile run with Valley Runners and half way through the run my toes started to get numb. By the time I was done I lost most feeling in both feet and had a piercing pain in my right ankle. Needless to say the shoes went back...
Last week I went to Fleet Feet Sports Encino. They're one of Team Kitten Rescue's corporate donors and hosted our first Team Kitten Rescue's Meet and Greet in August. I couldn't make it to that event, hence the online purchase. They're hosting another Meet and Greet later this month but I just couldn't wait any longer to get proper running shoes so I went there and Trey hooked me up with an awesome pair of Saucony...size 9! Did I mention I wear a size 7 ½? There's a long list of Fit-losphy on proper running wear and supplies that just makes my head spin. All I can say is if the shoe fits, buy it. Thanks Fleet Feet! I'll see you again on October 23rd

I better get my feet measured now after seeing this, it's been years since I've had them measured properly...
