But I am trying.
Last week I went out on a mission to get some good supportive running shoes. Figure this may decrease my odds of rolling my ankle from once a week to maybe only like once a month.
I spent way too much time waiting and not nearly enough time trying on. There was one man getting shower for about 15 customers, but that's a WHOLE nother store.
Anyways, I picked some nice comfy shoes. They had them in "raspberry" or "ice" and of COURSE I wanted the pink. The man was taking FOREVER. I turned around and noticed a stand with the "ice" colored shoes stacked right there. No "raspberry" but the same exact shoe, for 30$ less. I was a little confused, but investigated further. Yes, exact same shoe. But whats this, the sizing.....OH ITS A YOUTH SHOE.
I start to walk away and stop. "Self" I think "you have small feet--check it out". So I look, and the highest size youth offered was six. I'm an adult women 7, no way that will work. But HEY I've got time to wait. So I try on the shoe and its too big! So I look, and grab a 5.5 in the shoe. Sure as heck, it fits. Its got about a half inch of wiggle room (which I was told was a good think in a running shoe). And I am getting the exact shoe for 30$ cheaper! It may not be pink but its money in my pocket!!!!!
Can I get a HELL YEAH for small feet?!?!?!
Now.....lets hope the ankle rolling DOES diminish.
*I still am not able to figure out the difference between youth sizing, women sizing, etc. The inside of my shoe says US 5.5, but the inside of the WOMENS shoe that I had looked at same shoe, but size 6.5 adult womens, said US 4.5 WTF

The shoes I got aer ASICS and I found somewhere on the web that ASICS shoes sizes are 1.5 sizes different, and that a youth 7 is equal to a womens 5.5
BUT I believe they meant the opposite, dumb phucs, otherwise well, otherwise i wear a womens size 4, and thats NOT right
