Buying runners in Ireland

So I have plantar facititis. Its a nightmare. MY pf recommended some shoes ( hoka brooks asics). My question is this, obviously id need some time to try em on to see if they work on different surfaces, I wont be able to check or notice a difference in shops. What can I do here? Can I order online from a irish shop use them for few days then return( under an eu law/directive( sadly i cant post the link) Can I do that with runners or no? Its going to be 150-200 euro a pop to buy runners i cant afford to buy 3 different types of runners. What can I do here?

Also if anyone knows any good pts in ireland who can fix pf let me know.

Unfortunately shops will not let you return after they have been used outside which I think is reasonable enough.

Some may let you return if you test on a treadmill and return without any external wear/damage. That might be your best bet.

I have had terrible trouble with plantar facititis. I got some Brooks Ghost and they are absolutely fantastic, I use the wide 4e version.

If you buy Brooks from their own website, you can try them for 90 days and return them for free no questions asked if you’re not happy.

Was yours heel or arch? Mines chronically in the archs of both and coincidentally all the arches.

Is there an irish website for that mate? Can you link me that website?

Mine was heel. This video was very helpful, although mainly for heel

Here’s that link. If you scroll to the bottom you’ll see the 90 day thing
