Run - 20130522
Second run in the Newtons. I stopped by Fleet Feet after work and exchanged my 10.5s for 10s. This time around, I picked up the pace and went for 2 miles. It felt pretty good but good lawd it’s warm out there.

6:30 pm at the U.S. Navy Memorial’s Burke Theater at 701 Pennsylvania Avenue in Northwest Washington, D.C.
Sounds interesting. If I go, I may have to get a quick run around the Mall in before this. I hope people don’t mind if I’m sweaty.
My current plan is to head over to Fleet Feet after work tomorrow and exchange them for a pair 0.5 to 1 size smaller. I called them earlier today to ask about trading for a smaller size and they said I’d be able to do that without a problem. The shoes have already been put back in the box and are ready to be taken back to the store.
I really need to pay more attention to how they fit. I think I was too preoccupied with how weird the lugs felt on the bottom of my feet that I didn’t notice they were too big.
What’s a normal shoe exchange policy for running shoes?
I wore the Newtons to work again and I’m feeling I may have gotten .5-1 size too big. The size 10 felt snug when I tried them on at the store, so I opted for the 10.5. As I walk around today, though, I feel like my right foot (which is apparently a half size smaller than my left foot) has too much space to move back and forth. Also, there is more than a thumb’s width of room between my toes and the edge of the shoes. I don’t have much use in them besides the mile I ran on Sunday and wearing them to work yesterday and today.
Anyone think Fleet Feet will let me exchange the 10.5s I have now for 10s?
