shoe problems
With all this working out I wanted a nice new pair of shoes. I bought a pair of Addida's which were nice looking and felt good on my feet. I left the tags on and took them for a 30 minute ride on the elliptical. My feet got numb after 15 minutes. This had happened to me in the past but hasn't happened in a while. I didn't want to deal with numb feet and it doesn't seem healthy so I took them back and bought a new pair. Yesterday I came home with a pair of Nike's. I wore them around the house for half the day and really like them but then I took them for a spin on the elliptical tonight. Numb feet after 25 minutes :-( I loosened the laces but it just didn't help. I hate being the difficult picky customer but I have to work out and I don't want my feet to be numb while I do it. I will be going back to the shoe store tomorrow to try out a pair of New Balance. If any of you have some suggestions on what to do about the numb feet I would love to hear it.

Don't feel bad; I went through a dozen shoes once before finding ones that worked for me. It's a real challenge I have! They were very kind at the shoe store but it was annoying for me. I finally found some and then when I needed another pair years later I got the same shoe because worked last time. it still worked!
I'm surpised the Adidas didn't work because they are made wide. I find my toes get numb when I go on the elliptical ALL the time....I think that has to do with the fact that your feet aren't really moving and it's constant pressure on your toes (you never pick your feet off of a surface). I used to go on the elliptical in bare feet and my toes would still get numb. I really don't think that the numb toes on the elliptical has to do with your shoes...but who am I to tell you what you're feeling? Nike's are always narrow in the toe, and I can rarely wear them. I LOVE my asics, but they're kinda spendy. Good luck!
