Taken the plunge, ordered my first pair of #altras ... Tips for transitioning from Brooks Ghost to Altra Torin? I'll of course break them in and rotate with the old ones etc.

I'm much more a mid- to forefoot runner on the treadmill now and my feet are just struggling. I've tried new insoles, the shoes are wide fit and only have 180 miles on them so pretty sure it's not that they are already dead. So giving it a go with a different shoe to see if that makes a difference.

@phillipjordan Hah, I don’t know about skill — more like ideas plus perseverance.

I started making my own footwear out of desperation, bc everything I could find to buy hurt my feet…except for #Altra Ones, which were NSFW being bright yellow athletic shoes (which #Altra doesn’t make anymore; #Altras these days all seem thick-soled).

Interestingly, my feet have changed shape so much since I stopped wearing conventional footwear that now I can’t even wear shoes that I made several years ago.
