[…] time I felt this happening a lot, a pair of new shoes did the trick. Looking back, it was actually more than a year ago that I last bought new shoes. That definitely means I’m due some new ones, so they’re on the shopping list for the next time […]

Here's hoping you're over the dreaded plague and feeling better on your next run! Some spring-like weather certainly won't hurt. We barely left the house over the long weekend due to three days of solid rain/sleet/snow.

I got a pair of these last October but it was at least a month beofre they got thir first use as I was still making use of my Salamon trail runners. I started to use them lightly to get my feet used to them but by new year they were my first choice shoe (though the Salamons didn’t exit service till mid-Feb).
Anyway, I always found it difficult to get the laces tight enough which can lead to my feet moving in the shoe and so to blisters.
Blisters annoy me and now after just a few hundren km there is a large hole in the fabric upper, they smell and I am left underwhelmed by my experience. I’ll be looking for another pair of Salamons I’d say and maybe keep these as spares.

@Sarah D I think you're likely to be okay if you're comparing with another Adidas shoe. The general consensus seems to be that they're only stupidly-much smaller when compared with other brands. And to me, the Kanadias felt small as soon as I put them on, so if they felt okay to you in the shop I reckon you'll be fine.

I have just bought the Kanadia 4 women’s for a 10k obstacle race I am doing in 4 weeks time. These seemed really comfortable in the shop — Sports Direct — and with the additional 10% off they came in at £34 — fantastic! However, I currently wear Addidas Supernova in a 7.5 and I have purchased these in a 7 — felt fine in the shop. I am now a little worried that they will not be right when I go out — looks like I might have to wear them all night in the house first!

I got a pair of these in a size 6 for XC running (i'm normally a 5, but as with road shoes opted for the 'extra toe room'). First run I did in these (6km XC), I had a purple toenail from the pressure in the shoe. Second run I've done in them (only 5km but in the snow) and my toenail is now falling off and my toe isn't pretty. I clearly needed a 7 or bigger, which is annoying as obviously now they aren't returnable. I now have a pair of shoes worn a handful of times that are redundant, pretty annoyed!
