Wore Out My Shoes!!

I took the weekend off the treadmill and opted for hiking instead. Hubby and I went pheasant hunting Saturday for 2.5 hours, my Fit Bit tracked me at over 5 miles walked for the whole day. Sunday is my normal rest day but I went deer hunting again. (For the last time this year since I GOT ONE! Double WOOT!) so I got in about a 1/2 mile hike. Plus I helped drag out my kill.

Anyway, yesterday afternoon when I finally had time to hop on the treadmill I put my shoes (Brooks Defyance 2's I bought last year when diagnosed with plantar faciitis & a heal spur.) on and they felt weird. I definitely had my orthotics in them, so it wasn't that. After walking a while I started putting together what felt wrong. They feel like wedges, thick at the heel narrowing to the toe. And they tip outward. I've diagnosed myself as an under-pronator with worn out shoes. Time to go shopping!
