[pct-l] Buying larger shoes

[Gretchen Brauer-Rieke]

" Try on one size larger and see how they feel. My guess is that if you go
1/2 to one size larger than your normal size, your feet will thank you.
But that is just a guess. You will have to decide for yourself."

I'm thinking about the advice about wearing shoes that are larger than what
one is used to - what happens with the downhill stretches?  Wouldn't one's
feet slide forward in too-big shoes and hit the ends with one's toes?  I
usually tighten my laces for downhills to keep my feet from sliding forward
- wondering how that works if the shoes are big enough that one's feet have
lots of room to move...
