My running shoes (they're Avia's) are giving me a little trouble...I like them, they're lightweight and comfy, but they've been rubbing on the back of my left ankle to the point where it bleeds. I got the shoes my freshman year of high school to run the mile in gym, but barely used them aside from that so they're relatively new...do I need new shoes? Is it my foot? Is it they socks I'm wearing? Help?? :frown:

    U need to be replacing shoes every 2-300 miles..

    Also, take yourself to a local running store, not a Footlocker or ****'s, but a regular running store.

    Have your gait analyzed correctly.

    Have them reccomend which shoes would be best for your feet.

    Could be a number of things... fit of shoes (could they still be breaking in, are they that new?), poor socks...

    Try some body glide or similar anti-chafe.
