simon43 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 As reported in other threads, I've been jogging on a treadmill since February (I don't mean continuously!!). I'm now running 10 Km in about 55 minutes, with no discomfort to my legs or feet. I wear a pair of Adidas Glide running shoes. These are very light and comfortable. Today, when looking at my shoes, I noticed that the soles had worn unevenly. Specifically, the heels were worn more on the outer edge of each foot, rather than on the centre of the heel. I also note the same type of wear on my day-to-day shoes. Clearly, when I'm jogging, I'm not landing on the centre of my heel. Should I be landing on the centre of my heel? Is it a problem that I seem to be landing on the outer edge of each foot? (I don't feel that I'm landing awkwardly, and there is never any pain or discomfort after my runs). Should I do something to correct this outer-edge wear and, if so, what do I need to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramen087 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 If you're running without pain or injury, all you can do is replace the pair when the more heavily shoe is worn out... I wouldn't be messing with my running style; that's what could lead to injury. Take comfort in the fact that you're doing very well. The cost of a new pair of shoes that may have to be replaced a little earlier than you anticipated is a small price to pay for the success you're achieved. Keep on runnin'!

Aussieroaming Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Did you get this resolved? You are over-pronating and would be better off with a running shoe designed to counter this. Asics used to have a range of shoes to counter pronating and I would imagine Brooks ect would also have them. Over pronating can cause injury over time. There are also specific exercises that help.

simon43 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 No, it's not resolved, other than buying a new pair of running shoes every year, (same as the previous make ==> Adidas Alphabounce). To be honest, it hasn't caused me any problems so far. It is not a pronounced unevenness, and I do like the Alphabounce shoes, like wearing ballet shoes ?
