Sure enough, my feet have 'grown". So I now have a pair of New Balance 1063's. I am REALLY hoping that will make the difference with my shins.

My PSA - next time you buy shoes, check your size. Your feet do DO get bigger with age!
Smart girl!
- my feet changed when I got pregnant but now they have held steady for 20 years - so don't fear you won't be wearing size 13 by the time you are 50
Since 7th grade I have only increased 1 full shoe size but I suppose i will go up another .5 when I am old and my feet flatten more and get wider

good luck w/ them helping out your shins - I switched shoes today to a new pair too and my calves feel better, I didn't think my old ones were that worn because I have never worn them outside and haven't done a lot of running in them.

I have a website (can't think of it now) where not only do you record you miles but which shoes you were wearing when you ran them so you can keep track of the miles on your shoes!
