Do your feet get bigger when you run?

[pixy0stix]

I'm trying to figure out what's going on. My shoes fit fine until about mile 3 when my toe starts rubbing up against the side of my shoes. My shoes also tend to feel tighter overall. My feet don't look to be swollen when I kick my shoes off at home. Does this happen to anyone else?

Yes. I size up in all my running shoes

Full size? Half size?

I was told to size up at least a half, but my running shoes are a full size up (don't do halfs beyond 11) and still get tight by the end of 6 miles.

Yes, feet swell during runs, especially in the summer. Size up 1/2 size.

[joenali]

I've never done a full size up, only a half.

My feet are 6.5's, but I wear 7's in running shoes. Your feet will swell when you run; it's pretty normal. I can even tell the next day sometimes; some of my heels that fit snugly are uncomfortable the day after long runs. Especially when it's hot. Icing after running helps that a little.

I've heard that your feet swell when you run. I'm pretty flat footed and I know that my feet spread out a good bit when I land, which is why I have to get Men's wide shoes or else I roll over the sides of the sole.

Whole size up for me

Yep. The missing toenail on my right foot is testament to the feet swelling phenomenon while running. I already wore a size up from regular shoes but now I run in shoes a size and half larger.

[clseale]

Yep. Whole size for me too. Reg shoes are 6.5, running shoes are 7.5.

I might have to go up a whole size. My shoes are already a 1/2 size larger. I thought it was enough. Thanks guys, you're always a wealth of information.

I size up a whole size in running shoes. Also, certain brands are known to run smaller/shorter. Brooks is one of them.

[brooke77]

I size up a whole size.

[skwcm80]

I also go up a whole size.

[emilyj]

I also go up one size for my running shoes. And my feet definitely swell.

[jene]

I go up a half size

[enfuego23]

Yes, you have to size up with running shoes - lost 2 toenails last marathon training because shoes were too small. I wear an 8.5 in regular shoes and a 10 or 10.5 in running shoes - i have huge, wide feet:)

[trigal]

I size up a half size.

[jordylee]

i size up 1.5 sizes... my feet swell a ton! i wear an 8 in regular shoes, 9.5 in running shoes. I lace them a little differently at the top so that i don't get any slipping in the heel.
