Yesterday I ran again in the shoes I was wearing when I sprained my foot in March, and just like that the injury site got more painful again after feeling almost normal for the last several weeks. I am starting to wonder if the shoes contributed to the injury.<br><br>
The sprain happened during a marathon race, and after I'd had to stop a couple times to loosen and re-tie the laces. The shoes (with about 50 miles on them at that point) had been problem-free during the taper, but on race day I could not get comfortable in them even before I hurt myself.<br><br>
After that I had "bad feelings" about the shoes, but their predecessors are totally worn out so I've done 2 runs in them lately. During the first run I thought they felt strange in the inner arch area on both feet and noticed how extremely tightly they had been laced (maybe by me? maybe by the running store -- but it hadn't bothered me in March until race day). Yesterday I re-laced them and felt fine during the run of an easy 6 miles, but have been in more pain since.<br><br>
The shoes are NB 767s, my third pair, and a model I've been very happy with before these.<br><br>
Could it be something wrong with the shoes?<br><br>
Please help me unravel this mystery, KR sleuths!
