Arch/knee pain? time for new running shoes?

Question

lately i have been experiencing severe arch pain when we go on distance runs (on pavement) as well as knee pain. is this because of my shoes? i got them in mid january 08. i run approx. 3miles and week days at track practice and 6miles on saturdays, and i run in them in meets (yeah i know i should get some new racing shoes). these are just training shoes. i have brooks. should i get new ones?

Answer 1

hii

yes, if you're feet are hurting it's probably time for new shoes.

FUNNN!

haha, but really.. you're statistically supposed to switch running shoes every 10 months...

hope i helped

Answer 2

yeah, pretty much. but if the knee/arch pain doesn't go away after ur new pair of shoes is worn in, then u need to talk to a trainer or a doctor, it culd turn out u have something wrong if the pain keeps comin.

Answer 3

look into the nike structure traix 10 and 11

Answer 4

Yes, get new shoes IMMEDIATELY.  I have been out 4 weeks because of knee pain that I learned was tendenitis.  As stated above, new shoes every 10 months or every 500 miles whichever comes first.
