Hi All,

I'm looking for a running shoe store in Melbourne staffed by people that can advise me on what shoe to buy as I have lower leg 'issues' (splints and fractures).

I'm also thinking about barefoot running/aqua shoe or something along those lines, although I'm sure I'll find more info on this if I search the forums.

So just the shoe store for now.

Thanks a bundle,

Adsor,

Go and see Neil at Runners World

Great place staffed by runners.

Hey is there anywhere in Melbourne that stocks WIDTHS FOR NARROW FEET ie. C,B. :angry:

I'm looking for a training shoe that is anti-pronation and narrow, VERY HARD TO FIND!

Every store seems only to stock D, E, and 2E.

Hightower,

You are correct in being a little frustrated.
as an example this is what New Balance Australia hold in stock

You will not find your narrow widths there but they may be prepared to take an indent order if you contact them.
This New Balance Dealer stocks the lot
and I can recommend them from personal experience.

In the end the manufacturer is running a business and will only stock in a particular market those sizes and styles that will move and make money.
