I posted a thread in injuries recently about mild ankle pain. Having done a little reading about foot types, I think it might be the running shoes that I use that are the problem. I wear Asics GT 2110s and apparently they're for over-pronators. I know I don't over-pronate because every pair of trainers I own - without fail - wears ridiculously quickly on the outside edge, making me an under-pronator or 'supinator'. I also have a reasonably high arch.
So this could all be my fault for jumping at shoes that look nice, like a kid in a sweet shop
It's looking like I'm going to have to invest in some cushioned shoes without any kind of motion control, before I do myself any damage.
What might others advise? If you were me would you stop running until you knew more? See a podiatrist? I know the pain is becoming more than a niggle and there are some pretty strong warnings out there for 'supinators' to stay away from motion control shoes. Anyone think I'm just being paranoid and a bit of a jessie?
Would love to hear more from anyone who might have insight into the above - am genuinely quite worried
