I have difficult to fit feet and foot problems due to diabetes, but have been wearing the Saucony Grid Cohesion 4's for a while and absolutely love them!

I've been trying to increase my distance for jogging, so thought i'd try the Triumph 8's as there are so many excellent reviews both here (amazon) and elsewhere. I checked that they were the correct type of shoe for me and then ordered a pair. I was so excited to receive them and started to wear them in straight away. My first walk (after wearing them around the house for a few minutes here and there) i felt like my feet were in blocks of wood. Within 5 minutes i had intense pain right through the ball of my foot, so headed back home. I have tried thicker socks, thinner socks, increasing my time wearing them, but to no avail. Somehow they are completely wrong for my feet despite lots of research, talking to a sports store sales person and going through the shoe finder on the saucony website. I thought i was doing my feet a favour by buying the Triumph 8's over the Grid cohesion 4, but i still can't walk in them - i'm not game to try running in them! So i just use them on the odd occasion when i don't have to do a lot of walking (which kind of defeats the purpose LOL).
