When I bought my latest running shoes, one of my toes would sometimes touch the front of the toe box. It seemed strange because it wasn’t where my toes would normally be if shoes were too tight. Since the shoes were on sale, I decided to try them out, and if they didn’t work, I knew I could exchange them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Running shoes can compress and expand. Insoles and midsole compress and relax over time and tend to shape your foot, giving your foot a bit more room. In addition, some upper materials can expand when pressure is applied to them over time.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n After I wore my new running shoes for 1-2 weeks, my toes did not touch the fabric on the toe box, and they seemed to fit better overall. It felt like the insole had compressed and formed into the shape of my foot, giving me a snug fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
