I've located a local running shop that does that video gait analysis thing. Trouble is, I've not done any running at ALL since school. Running for even one minute would probably be beyond me at the moment. It looks like I'll need to get better at running before I can find out what shoes fit me, but to get better at running I need to run, and I don't want to do that at all without good shoes. Aagh!
If I did splash out on good running shoes, would they be shoes that I could also wear for other things, like exploring castles, or standing up all day running the Summerfest bar? I'm so much of a novice that I don't even know what good running shoes look like. If I could use them for other things, then I don't mind paying out for good shoes before starting, even if there's a risk that I'll give up after a week. If they're good for running only, then I wouldn't want to buy them at this stage... which means that I wouldn't even TRY running, since I don't want to risk giving it a go with inadequate footwear.
