Morning, I am having a big problem with the tip of my big toe. It is going numb when I waitress. I am wearing the same shoes all year. Not sure what to do. Thinking it's because I lost 35lb and I started jogging.

What should I do? I waitress at a function hall. Need really good shoes I can walk a lot in. Help please ????????????????????

    Medically, the best place to get an answer is with a doctor. I am a newish runner (8 months) and I was told to make sure I get fitted for the best running shoes I can afford. I have not had that issue with my toes, but know of more experienced runners who have lost toenails, etc.

    You can also check out the Runner's World site and read suggestions for choosing shoes. It has good info on running form and answers a lot of questions. http://www.runnersworld.com/

    Definitely check with a doctor, but it might just be the shoes. Since your body has changed, you might need new shoes too.
