I'm having foot pain when walking/running

[hisno1girl]

When I started my daily 3 miles, I had a pair of old Sketchers.  I really needed to get new shoes so I went and tried another pair of Sketchers (different style) and had to return them because the tongue was digging into the top of my foot.

Went and bought a pair of Asics.  After my walk/run last night the big toes on both of my feet went numb when I had about a 1/4 mile left.  Took them off and my toes felt like I was getting stabbed by needles. Those shoes are going back tomorrow.

Tonight, I used my old Sketchers and I had pain on the bottom of my left foot near the heel and a little bit of pain on the right foot on the outside edge between the pinkie toe and the heel.  It slowed me down but I did my full 3 miles.

Can you please recommend some walking/running shoes? 

Thanks.

Go to a local running store and get fitted for shoes. Everyone foot is different.

you HAVE to get properly fitted at a running store, everyones feet are different and you will only get injured if you dont have the right foot.

Its pretty impressive how a good shoe for you foot can eliminate a lot (if not ALL pain)
