I just switched from NB 1080 to the 1260 v2. The first run in the 1260 I notice a burn in the metatarsals or balls of the foot in the middle area. It almost tingled when I took my shoes off. I do have some inserts but they don't go all the way out to the toes. I only ran for about 30 minutes. Otherwise they were fine. Does this mean these are the wrong shoes or can I buy some inserts that cover the metatarsal area to prevent this?
hey. i have had this burning. i don't know what it is. i have wondered if it is blood flow being cut off to the area. are they not very deep in the forefoot part? let me know if you find out what it is, i cannot get it to go away.
youre switching from a neutral shoe to a support shoe, totally opposite ends of the support spectrum. you could be over corrected and be in a shoe thats actually too supportive.
Is the buning in the ball of the foot a symptom of overcorrection? I, too, recently switched to a more stable shoe and had the same problem. I did so on the advice of my podiatrist, but the stability shoes seem to have created other problems, such as the aforementioned...I'm about to switch back to neutral.
I meant "burning," of course...
shoe people problems
I tend to wear out the back outer corner of the heel on all my running shoes. The rest of the shoe looks barely touched for the most part. I don't know if that helps or not. I thought the it would not make that much difference. When I go into the running stores they always recommend the medium style arch or stability shoe and that I don't have a high arch. Any way anyone want to buy a brand new pair of NB 1260 V2's 10 2E grey with red and yellow trim and only 30 minutes of run time. How about $70?
This article looks to dispute the significance of the stability factor in these shoes. http://www.runningshoesguru.com/2012/08/new-balance-1260-v2-review/
