Got a email that I received a message about a study I was in.
Noticed I couldn't see my messages and noticed this on my account. Never got a email my account was on hold or anything.
I have 1339 approved studies with 1 rejection.
I answer everything honestly and do the surveys to the best of my knowledge. No VPN's, no shady crap that I do.
So what exactly is not meeting their standards?
So after about 20 shoes and maybe getting 5 that acutally don't rub my arch or crush my toes. I've gone and ordered my first 2E shoe.
How does this look to everyone? I can't unfortunately just try them out outside again and return them(I already just sold 2 shoes that didn't work) and I'm scared to just keep throwing money down the drain.
I usually wear a thicker (balega blister resist socks with glide) but these socks show my more natural foot shape.
Any suggestions are helpful :)
So I've been dealing with this for about 3 years now since I started running and buying a shoe and selling it right away just isn't doable(Canada has almost no options for buy and try except for Hoka & Brooks)
Arch blisters/rubbing. They are by far my biggest hassle when running. Almost every shoe I've used gives me issues.
Now for the record I use balega blister resist socks and I use body glide as well which only helps so much. Usually after about 8-10km I have to call it cause I can feel my arch getting raw around the 5km mark.
I have more duck feet where I have a very narrow heel but after that starts to get bigger.
I've had my feet measured as well and apparently I'm right at the edge of where D & 2E meet but having a narrow heel usually means obviously heel slip in a 2e.
The Novablast 5's have been probably the best shoe I've ran in but the foam is absolutely terrible as I'd like them to last longer then a few hundred km's.
I like to do a shoe rotation as well if I can find shoes that work.
Thanks for any suggestions!
