my bubble burst! (shoes)

it's an omen

OK, so I have the Nike Air Max Moto shoes. I noticed today that one of my "bubbles burst" and it

if the noise is what's bothering you, just plug the hole with some tissue paper, or super-glue, or
something.

another alternative would be to burst the bubble on the other shoe so as to achieve new balance in
your running endeavor.

I'm hoping the bubble is more of a gimmicky aesthetic to make us think we're "running on air"..
but I'm not sure.

the only bubble that is important is the stock market bubble. your shoe bubble - "not important."

personally, i think that all that bubble stuff is marketing gimmicks designed to make us
believe that we're running on air. i say, just burst the other bubble and take a step towards
running on empty.

Advice?

Only you know the answer. Do you remember how they felt when you first wore them? There are some
models I have used that I would not hesitate to run the 1/2. There are others that I would be nuts.
I might be more worried if you ran with one broken bubble and the uneven ride and the potential
problems over blisters from a new pair.

and...?

Get a new pair now if not sooner and put a few miles on them between now and the race (I mean "a
few" literally -- if you only get to do one 5 miler in them, and the 5 miler feels fine, that's OK
IMO). Unless there's something disasterously wrong with your new pair, you should be fine for a 13
mile run in the first week. Running shoes don't need a month to "break in". The only so-called
"break in" period I ever use is a treadmill test to decide whether or not I need to return them.
Then I commence normal use (including for long runs) immediately.

It's a half marathon, and he's still got most of the week to "break them in", not that it should be
necessary to do so.

but he said he couldn't run (easily) between now and the race. i assume he means he probably won't.

on the other hand, i did misread half-marathon. i thought he said marathon. i guess if he's willing
to get the same pair of shoes, then maybe 13.1 miles is probably okay. but if he were to get a
completely different model (one that he's never had before), i don't think he should risk it.

Of course Realbitchys an idiot treadmill jogger, so take his advice with a grain of salt. I'm sure
all of us here have gotten blisters from new shoes, so there's nothing wrong with wearing them
casually for a day or two first until they loosen up. Specifically the flexibilty is usually
limited, but wear them for a day or two and they loosen up.

I had an old pair of Air Pegasus who's air cushion burst and made running in them miserable. But
this was the entire air cushion not just one bubble, I'm not familiar with the shoe you run in. I'm
amazed that a burst bubble has happened only once to me in 15 years of running in Nike air shoes.
That is after pulling out more than a few pieces of glass out of the sole.

You should really run with a second pair that you've been running in. But that option isn't
available.

You risk injury by running with a broken shoe. You risk blisters running with new shoes. I'd buy a
new pair, you have to anyway unless you quit running after the half marathon. Wear them around
whenever you can walking around. Run for a bus if you can't run otherwise. My experience is that I
rarely get blisters from new shoes. I'd feel more confident with new shoes.

Perhaps you should buy a second pair as a back up for future mishaps.

Enjoy the race.

I do mostly trail running in Colorado and get a bunch of thorny seeds most times I run. Burrs too.
Sort of like those tire-killer eculytus seeds in California. May prompt me to leave air shoes.

Had the bubble burst in a pair of Nike Tailwinds and it was not a problem. Cycling three pairs and
cannot tell the difference.

Had the bubble burst in the Air Max, the one prior to the current "fashion" model and it made a big
difference; probably, because the heel had worn down as well.

Ted, you ignorant [censored] 8^). Running shoes DO NOT NEED a "break in" period.

Since that was my remark, I'll respond.

Quoted message said:

But if the shoes are different from what they replace, the feet, ankles, knees and even back may
indeed need "breaking in".

Good point, but that adjustment period should not involve pain attributable to the shoes.

Quoted message said:

Best to have many pairs of shoes of several different kinds and rotate them. I have nine pair
covering three different brands (a few lighter Nike, some Adidas, Asic tiger paw) and five
different models (couple of pegasuses and several Triax light things). They all feel different,
but my feet benefit from a "range of experiences". With that many shoes, I always manage to buy
new ones at sale prices because a worn out shoe is simply left out of the rotation...

Good advice. Currently I have two pair of different brands. So I follow that idea, though not to the
extent you practice it.

Quoted message said:

I know runners who are "loyal" to one shoe (espec Asics fans), and they are upset by moving from
an old tired shoe to a new one with the same numbers. Manufacturers change the designs from year
to year... Buggers that they are!

CCCate.

Yes. Also along that line, any shoe model (even nike) might be good for you but bad for someone
else. It's almost as personal as choosing a spouse.

Have a good day and a great run. ed

Um, yabba dabba doo! (?) WTF did he say?

Before I became educated...I use to run in Nikes and had similar problems with the exposed "air
bubble burst". The sports outlet that I bought them in allowed me to return the pair ( even after
three weeks of use) , as a matter of fact this happened several times that year. Finally I found
Asics and New Balance and learned the error of my ways.
