My feet kill me

Not at all, there just might be no-one with the proper answer. When you foot/ankle gets sore, does simply moving the foot hurt, or is it only when running (the impact)?
I've had bad ankles for years and I used to tape then when playing running sports (soccer, football etc). Basically just 'assists' the ligaments which might be under strain from lazy muscles supporting the foot. Of course, this may not be your problem ...
best regards

Did RunTex fit them specifically to help with that problem? Do you pronate? Assuming it and ache and not the heels clipping your ankles during your stride, I used to have issues with that. I'd check back with RunTex. Tell them the issue, it's hard to diagnose over the internet. Could be several things including just some shoes rub people the wrong way, I'm very particular in my shoes and can't wear nike's or several others because of rubbing at the top of my feet. Saucony and Brooks have worked for my tho... I also used to have inserts for bad pronation, but lots of trail running has helped correct that due to strengthening the supporting muscles.

Thanks for replying. I also asked the question on the running forum section and have gotten some replies.
When it starts to hurt after about 5 miles I have to start walking on and off. When I walk it does not hurt. When I'm through with my workout I don't feel the pain - it's only when on impact when running.

To reply to Tribro's question - I remember they did say I pronated and selected a shoe that would be best. Maybe it's just like you say - just need to strengthen the supporting muscles.
Thanks a lot for the help. I believe I will go back to RunTex and see what they say.

it could just be bad form as well, lots of runners land hard on one foot in particular......try getting some coaching on your stride locally.....there are also a lot of articles on barefoot running in order to help with form.....some barefoot striders everynow and then could really help out
It is better to hurt from doing something than from doing nothing...

Are your shoes too tight by chance? I had similar pains in my feet until I loosened my shoes up quite a bit. I thought they were loose enough already as I could pull them off without untying them. But I loosened them more and now my feet dont hurt at all.

You should go back to Runtex when Dr. Ted Spears is there. Ted is the best ever. He sees people for free from 12-2pm on most Fridays. He will diagnose the problem and give you the best shoe recommendation of your life. It's only at the downtown location in Austin.
I saw him when having some arch problems and he got me squared away quick. Clearly, I was impressed.

my chiropractor adjusts my feet. i am always surprised at how the little bones in there can lock up. a good sports related chiropractor or physical therapist should be able to do this for you.
might help, might not.

Ditto the recommendation above. Spears has been one of the best sports docs, and especially runner-specialized, doctors I've run across.
"Care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, expect more than others think is possible."
I have participated in triathlons and duathlons for several years at the sprint distance. This year I've decided to do a marathon. I went to RunTex and got fitted for new shoes. One that I hoped would eliminate the pain in the feet that I start getting after about 5 miles. I am still experiencing pain in the inside of my feet around the ankles. Especially my left foot. Is there any kind of support for the inside of the shoe that I can use that will help.
Appreciate the help.
