Running Shoes defect?

definitely find a running store. they will analyze the way you run and help you select the proper type of shoe.

Yes you did buy a new pair, but it would seem that you have the wrong style for the way you run.

More running injuries are caused by people buying a shoe that looks nice but doesn't offer the correct support or structure for their running action.

The other option is you are pushing to hard or running on your toes and putting a strain on your calves, a few muscle building exercises for a few weeks might sort the problem too

But I already bought a new pair just last week. Does anybody know defects about running shoes?

It's possible (but improbable) that the shoes are defective. What is more likely is that they're just the wrong shoe for you. Can you take them back?

The suggestion has already been made to go to a running store (not a big box store or on-line retailer) , have your gait analyzed and they will make recommendations as to the appropriate type of shoe. Having the correct type of shoe can make a world of difference.

It's also possible that your calf pain if simply a result of trying to do too much, too soon, too fast. Take some time off to heal and then try again but go slowly and build up your distances gradually.

Unless parts are obviously missing from your left shoe, the chance that it's defective enough to hurt you is about zero. As others have mentioned, first you need to go to a serious running store that has a treadmill and can analyze your gait. The store will then recommend the type of shoes that fits you.

If you're new to running it's very common to feel sore on one leg or both.

I think i got the right shoe for me based from research on the shoe here on the internet.

I am also feeling the pain only on my left leg(calves to be exact) and i can really feel the shoe has defects on the heel side of it. I'm not sure yet if I can exchange the shoe i bought to the store i have bought it but will totally suck if they don't.

Research doesn't mean much unless you get fitted-I work in a running store and no matter how much research you do, you can't get the right shoe unless you've been fitted before. Do you need a neutral shoe? Controlling shoe? support shoe?

If you honestly think it's a defeat (and with only a little info as well as no pictures) there's no real way to know. Go back to wherever you got the shoe and ask to see the same pair and compare them. While you're out, go to a running store and make sure you have the right one. (and by running store, I mean a store that will watch you run-whether on a treadmill or outside-and explain why your current shoes do or don't work for you)

Go to a running store. They can fit you to the right shoes.

You're more than likely wearing the wrong shoe for you.....

A good store will analyze your gait and determine where you place your weight. The internet can't do that.

Go to a running store. It was the best thing I ever did. They know more than just doing research on the Internet. They will actually watch how your feet land, etc. and make recommendations from there.

Many running stores (even online ones) have pretty lenient return policies on their shoes. I'd try that route and then go to a running store where you can fitted properly. Good luck!

Agreed. The store I went to has a 30 day return policy even if I ran I them all 30 days.

Nike may not be for you, especially for running. I dont usually recommend any Nike shoe for running to be honest but to each his own. Go to a running store and get fitted.

I probably would have gone with Nike if I didn't go to a running store just because of the name. The store recommended Brooks which I never heard of until I went. Best pair of shoes I ever bought.

I always used to run in Reebok, they were lovely trainers, however, I could not run in them outside as I used to get shinsplints, I was only ble to run on my treadmill (for some reason the splints never used to happen when I ran on that) - then I went to a specialist running shop, had my gait analysed and was given Saucony - I swear I will never know how I survived without them before this, I can run outside, no splints.

I luffs my Saucony shoes

But does anybody heard any shoe defects? Or has tried defects?

Good grief man, people are trying to tell you, it is not about defects but because your shoes are not suitable for you.

No, I have never heard of defects in the way you are looking for affirmation.
