Should I get new running shoes?

[mrsjthompson]

Y'all might remember I broke the 3rd metatarsal on my right foot during a HM in November. I am ohsoclose to being released from the doctor (hopefully Friday), then another 2 weeks before I can start running, plus PT (that's the plan, at least.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.  This pool running is driving me nuts.).  I don't know, but I suspect I had a stress fracture for a while and didn't know it. Anyway, do I need to go get fitted in new shoes once I can run again?

I would talk to the PT (or doc) about it, but it might make sense to at least go try on some different shoes. Not sure if a break/healing would change the type of shoe you'd need, but if you weren't wearing one already you might find a brand with a wider toe-box in general more comfortable (?)
