I started running in compression socks to help with shin issues. Seems to help. Tonight my son noticed something Wong with me feet. I have a dark reddish ....what looks like bruises below my small toe on the edge of my feet. Same place on each foot. Has anyone experienced this and can it be from the socks? I haven't changed soaps, brands, or any new medications. I don't have any symptoms other than the spots. If my 4 yr old wouldn't have noticed I probably wouldn't have noticed the spots. Wondering if thesis going to require a trip to the doc or if that's over reacting?

    I have increased the miles I've been running but haven't changed any of the "gear" I wear. I used the same compression socks on and off since January. Today's run was cold and apx 22 degrees. Could that have something to do with it?

    What type of shoes do you run in?

    Yeah, type of shoe, and fit could be huge. Sounds like maybe you need a shoe with a bigger toe box. Maybe that you've just started having the issue, since running longer distances.

    Brooks-Ariel same shoes/style for apx 1 year. I've had the current pair for apx 1 month put apx 50 miles on them. However this was the first time I've ever worn my compression socks with these shoes. Maybe my feet are too tight in the shoes with the compression socks? Otherwise I'm out of guesses.
