Hey fellow runners,

I am struggling to find the right daily trainer for my very specific foot shape, and I could really use the community's wisdom.

I recently ordered a pair of Hoka Gaviota 6s. I wore them around the house yesterday, but I immediately experienced severe pain on the medial arch side of my right foot. It felt like the rigid H-Frame was poking directly into my low arch. I am returning them, but I need to figure out what to try next.

Here is the exact breakdown of my foot shape and mechanics (I went to do a gait analysis + foot scan) :

My Foot Profile

Measurements: My left foot is 279 mm long and my right foot has a 115 mm ball width. I absolutely require Wide platform.

Prominent 5th Metatarsal: My feet are widest at the midfoot with a massive lateral bulge. Shoes with raised EVA foam sidewalls or "bucket seats" (like the Hokas) crush the outside edge of my feet. I think I need a flat platform with a straight last.

Arches & Heels: I have flat feet (low arches) and wide, blocky heels.

Gait Mechanics: I am a heavy heel striker, which usually means I need a slightly higher drop

Asymmetrical Needs: My left leg is completely neutral, but my right leg experiences medial knee collapse (valgus). Symmetrical, rigid stability shoes act like a wedge on my neutral left leg, forcing it to supinate. But right feet overpronate.

Where I Need Your Help
I have been looking at a few options on my own (like the Asics Gel-Kayano or the New Balance 860 or Saucony Guide/Hurricane / Brooks adrenaline, mizuno inspire), but I don't want to limit the suggestions. I don’t know what I’m talking about, and I’m totally lost in this sea of brand and models and worried of buying the wrong ones and suffering even more. Maybe want I’m looking at is bad for me and I won’t know. Hence why i want to cast a wider net and rely on people who knows running’s shoes.

what is the absolute best shoe you would recommend for me ?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Bonjour,

J'ai reçu une offre, comprenant voiture de société ou budget mobilité.

L'offre mentionne un choix entre 4 voitures. Suis-je obligé de choisir une des quatre proposées par l'entreprise ou puis-je utiliser le budget mobilité pour faire un leasing pro afin de choisir une voiture plus adaptée a mes besoins ? Je ne comprend pas pourquoi limiter le choix a 4 modèles spécifique sachant que l'on a un budget défini.

Je ne connais pas le marche belge donc je ne sais pas et préfère avoir vos avis.

Bien a vous

Hey everyone,
I was catching up on the WWDC 26 announcement about the new Siri AI, and I realized I might have completely misunderstood how its "memory" works.
I originally thought Siri was going to build a persistent memory profile about me over time — kind of like how Gemini remembers your explicit preferences, hobbies, or past instructions in a dedicated saved profile to shape its persona.
But looking closer at the "Personal Context" feature, it seems like Siri doesn't actually learn or store a standalone profile of facts about you. Instead, it just securely indexes and searches your existing on-device data (like your texts, emails, photos, and calendar) in real-time when you ask it a question.
So, if I tell Siri "I prefer my coffee black," does it actually internalize that fact for future use, or does it only know it if I literally have a note or text message on my phone that says it?
Has anyone else caught this distinction? Curious to hear your thoughts on Apple's approach (real-time on-device indexing) versus a persistent AI memory ledger. Is one better than the other for daily use?

Thank you

Hi,

Just started Equasym XL 10mg. The SPC says to take it before breakfast, but I’d love to hear how people actually take it day-to-day.

A few questions:

1. Before breakfast: how long do you wait between taking the capsule and eating? 30 mins, 45 mins, 1 hour, more?

2. With breakfast: have you noticed shorter duration, more intense onset, or more side effects? Or does it work fine?

3. After breakfast: how long after eating do you take it? Does it kick in too fast or end too soon?

4. General: have you experimented with different timings to better match your work schedule?

My peak work intensity is 14h-18h, so I’m trying to figure out the optimal timing to align the peak with that window.

Thank you
