Just got new running shoes and they make my feet hurt? why?

i just got new shoes and it is the middle of the season. My coach is slowing letting me adjust to these shoes.......but the first time i ran they burned my feet and then the third time i ran in them, they hurt my calfs afterwards. Why? Do i need to exchange the shoes? i have the Gel nimbus 9....Please help me! i don't want to be injuried for my next race. thank you

Also you might want to try wearing two pairs of socks (until they are broken in at least). My dad coached basketball for years and years and he taught me that trick. It helps prevent blisters, etc. so maybe it would help in your situation too. It's worth a try.
Reply:u jst need to gte used to the shoes.. new ones tend to be like all hard and stuff bt wen u keep up wearing them they'll soften and they wont hurt :) u dnt need to exchange em..well unless u got the wrong size?
Reply:I wouldn't exchange them quite yet. My CC shoes were the most painful things I've ever worn in my life (including heels) but now I woudln't trade them in for anything.





You really need to walk around in them as much as possible. I wore them to school everyday for a week. Also, wearing two pairs of socks might help too. Generally that's better for shoes that are too big and rubbing, but it might work in your case as well. It'll take awhile to get them broken in, and depending on when your next race is, if they're not broken in yet, try wearing your old running shoes for the race. It's good to ease into new running shoes.
Reply:Cuz the shoes aren't fitting you right. Absolutely exchange them for new shoes.

If your looking to run fast at any distance, get rid of them. If your calfs are hurting that means they are forcing you on your toes, which is actually a good thing because thats how you run fast and efficiently. But personally I would exchange them for either Nike Vomero's or Nike Haywards. Light and nuetral running shoes is what you need. PEOPLE ARE FOOLED by all that extra padding crap! Not only does it weigh you down, but it forces your foot to land a certain way. Most people believe the more padding the less damage it does to you and your knees, which is waay off!
Reply:Ya i just looked at the shoes online and there pretty nice but i could see how they could possibly hurt your feet. they look pretty narrow so they could be to tight or maybe the insole just isnt right for your foot so maybe you should go buy new insoles, but they also could just hurt because there not warn in so if i were you i would just wear them regularly and if they keep hurting maybe try to get another shoe. good luck with the whole deal.
Reply:They might be too small or to big or they just aren't broken in yet.


Maybe try getting another pair of shoes.
Reply:maybe your tying them to tight
Reply:you have to get use to them
Reply:try walking around in them for like an hour a day and then go up to time and then after that if they still hurt by new ones. They might still be needed to be broken in if you only where them 3 times then they wont be broken in yet
Reply:Get another pair ( get half or one more size big ) ...
