New shoes!

Hoping these will help with my knee pain. I 'overprolongate' apparently.

Hi, did you have your gait analysed? I have problems with my left knee after each run.

[Ianson Graduate in reply to Martin_Rose]

Martin_Rose, I went to a local, independent runners shop. They didn't have any equipment that was working in order to assess my gait but the woman there seemed very knowledgeable and assessed my gait from watching me walk and jump. I think her advice is sound. They sold knee socks and I asked if they might help me with my knee ache (especially in my right knee). She said to wait to see if the shoes helped and she also showed me a couple of knee strengthening exercises. She basically did herself out of a sale and I saw that as a positive sign.

That's brilliant, thanks.

Overpronate - that's it! Whole new vocabulary.....

Beautiful, oh I feel a shopping trip coming on. Damnit!

Love these!

I have those same shoes for the same reason. They definitely help. Have been doing the knee strengthening exercises and have to wear the shoes to keep my knees in line. They are so comfy to run in but beware the extra spring in your step. Mine also made me want to run too fast.

Thanks, SCB1. Good to have a glimmer of hope that they might help with my knee ache.
