do doc martens run small?

sprinkles

i found some docs i want, they are a women's UK 7 size 7. UK 7 is supposed to be the equivalent of a US 9. i am a US 8. i really want these boots. is it possible that they are actually my size? do they usually run a little small? is it better to get docs one size bigger than your own?

Answer
i used to work at a shoes store and i noticed they run pretty true to size, i would get your normal size, unless your foot is pretty narrow then you may want to go down 1/2 a size.

Where can I buy womens shoes in UK size 9?

theodorais

Hello, I'm 17 years old and have UK size 9 feet I've searched high and low for shoes in my size but have been unable to find anything for women. I'm fed up of living in converse and running shoes, I reaaally want something I can wear to college and all the shoes I find in big sizes for women tend to be patent leather high boots made for transvestites or american websites who don't ship to the UK.
Thankyou so much for your help I'm becoming a bit desperate :)

Answer
I have the exact same problem - I'm a size 9 too and usually living in converse. I recently bought a few pairs of ballet shoes/pumps from a shop called French Sole in Central London. They had some nice shoes, but were VERY expensive! One site I have used is tallgirls.co.uk which seems to be pretty good, you just need to order fast before your size goes. I think there are a few other sites similar to this one, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
I would advise checking out tallgirls, and I hope this has helped as I know how frustrating this problem is!
Good Luck!! :]

Best XC running shoe?

ParTEEgrl2

Im new to XC and was wondering which type of shoe would be best for me to run with. Thanks:)

Answer
running shoes vary from person to person. they depend on running style, form of your foot,

I would recommend looking for a store called A Snail's Pace Running Shop near you. They'll analyze your foot form and type (arch width/length) and your stride (how you run). Usually, they make you step on a memory foam to see the shape of your footprint. They ask you what your plans are for running (trails, track, cement, long distance etc.) Then, they'll recommend the best shoe for your needs.
Here's a link to their page

you can also find a Road Runner. They'll do pretty much the same thing.
what I like about Road Runner is that they'll let you run on the shoes for a few minutes [no charge] to see how you feel them.

Here's a link to a handout my XC coach made about RUnning Shoes. It's really helpful.

good luck and happy runnin'

P.S: most running shoe stores will give you a 10% discount if you tell them you're a student and shoes your school ID [esp. Road Runner]

Best running shoes for long-distance?

My knees have began hurting after I go on runs, and I think it is time to replace my running shoes. I have the Nike+Apple thing, so I would prefer if it were Nike+. Thanks!

Answer
Go in to a running shoe store and say you want running shoes, period. They would have you run in a shoe to see how you run, which would indicate what type of shoe you need. Once they have an idea of what you need they should pull out several models and have you try them for comfort, have you put both pairs on and jog around the store to see which you like best. They should be half a size to a full size larger than your street shoes. If you go to a shoe store and they don't ask to see you run first thing to get an idea of your needs, find another store.
Good luck!
