Hello all,
I'm a bit new around here so treat me gently...
I used to be an international athlete (not running) and fairly recently took up running to work. Although I sometimes used to run for my training, I never paid that much attention to the type of shoe I was wearing.
As soon as I started doing more miles going to work and back my shins began to hurt. "Shin splints" I thought and decided that I needed more support for my feet and so purchased a pair of Asics Gel Kayanos. They were beautiful and all my pain went away. I flew.
HOWEVER 400 miles later, I have found that they are suddenly wearing very hard on the outside of the sole, on the widest part of the foot opposite the ball.
Is it possible that i do not need that much support any more? Am I now underpronating where I used to overpronate? If so, what is a good shoe to get now? I like Asics (always found them comfortable - not too spongy). Do they make a shoe which would be good?
I'm not sure how to diagnose this - but would like to have some help before my knees and shins start aching again!
Thanks everybody
