Your shoes should not hurt your feet like that. I'd take the shoes back and tell them what's going on.

I agree, you need to go back.
I went in to be analyzed because I was having some foot pain. The shoes they gave me were great. The foot pain from the other shoes took a week or so to go away, but the new ones didn't present new pains to my feet. They did work my shins a bit differently tho'. Very minor adjustment, don't think I noticed after the 2nd run.

+1 on taking them back... Sounds like then just aren't right for you.

Yup, back they go. Get a different shoe. There really isn't much of a break in period, if the shoe is right.

I agree it is probably the shoe and that you should take it back, but while you are there it might be worth having them take a look at how you are wearing them and how tight -- perhaps a lace adjustment would make it actually work.

Just out of curiousity, how many people go to a running store to get fit for shoes? I tried it once and had little luck with the couple of pairs they gave me.

I've had mixed luck. It really depends on the shop. My old shop was dead on. The new shop was not so good. I'm still convinced there's a better shoe out there for me but I don't want to switch because I'm not getting injured.

Mixed results - At one of the 'premier' running stores around here I went 0-2 with them. Had good luck at the New Balance store.
Mostly now I will just order through RoadRunnerSports - and just send 'em back if not right.

Did they have frame by frame video of you running? Or did they just watch you run?
I went to Jack Rabbit in NYC and they had the frame by frame. I could see how much correction each shoe was providing right on the video monitor.
I can't imagine being able to see the problem without the video. It was 1/15th of a second or less.
My experience was great and would recommend it to anyone that racks up the miles. If there is a better shoe out there available to save physical wear and tear, I'd want to have it.
I got my first pair of shoes from a running store after having them look at my feet/gait. They gave me a pair of asics 2130s and i have put about 16 miles in them this past week. Question: after i run in these my right foot is sore directly over the arch of my foot (top of my foot, over my first metatarsal), is this something i should take the shoe back and be evaluated for a different shoe (i have 2 weeks to run and return, 1 week is saturday)? or is this part of the break in? or is this a non-shoe related issue (tendonitis secondary to something)? any ideas?
thanks!
