Holes in the soles of my running shoes

[lxs602]

I didn't know running shoes were a thing until I tried running the other week and was told afterwards that when on concrete trainers were not good enough to avoid ending up a tad sore.

I bought some and tested them for the first time yesterday.

What on earth are these big holes? Are all running shoes like this? Do I just have to be careful where I step?

I think you may have an infestation of mice.

They'd have done well while I was running

If there proper running shoes there good for the track only as probably very soft rubber. Different types of trainers have own areas of use. IE. Trail, cross country. Road or pavement pounding. Personally the soles of those look like neoprene foam as used on slippers.

Are those Ecco shoes. I was bought some of their shoes from our local designer outlet and they split across the sole. I took them to a local cobbler to see if they could be repaired. who said I must have had them for a quite a while. When I said not, he said then they are old stock as the rubber has perished.

They don’t look good. That’s after 1 run? Take them back.

I have only used ASICS for over 15 years now. ( not the same pair) Other decent running shoes are available. But I know that they work for me, and the soles have never fallen apart.

I'm a big fan of Echo shoes and never really had any issues. They wear very well for me (I walk a four mile round trip to work and tend to walk everywhere in town).

I'm interested if they were able to repair them? One of my pairs currently has holes in the sole due to ear and I was pondering if it was worthwhile taking them to the cobbler or not.

No, ebay, "bought-and-never-used".

They are ecco. "Goretex lined"; I thought they were fancy.
