Not too fast but happy with the run! Not entirely happy with new shoes- fine of my feet felt numb during the last km. shoes feel 'stiff' to me but maybe they'll get better!??

    Numbness usually relates to the fit or lacing. Perhaps they're laced to tightly? I always had this problem with my Nike Vomeros. What kind of shoes did you get? Is there an exterior support system that ties into the laces? Try loosening the laces, but if that doesn't work, I'd return them. Protect your feeties sweetie!

    I had numbness when I had some Nike lunarglide (I think) they were too wide so I tied the laces tighter.

    The shoes are Nike Zoom structure - especially designed for low arches and pronation. But I think the base is too think and so doesn't 'bend' easily and feels too stiff. I do think the laces were too tight but, again, I think I did that because I felt the shoe wasn't moving with me (does that make sense???!!!). Will try them again but will also try my old nike free and think of a swap.

    Ruchi, I had exactly that problem with my new shoes in August, and once I loosened the laces they were ok. But if you are still having that problem after another run, go back to the shop. Now that you're doing the bigger distances you gotta look after your footsies!

    Sometimes it's a combo of loosening the laces and breaking them in. At least that's how it was with my Brooks PureCadences; I had to use an alternative lacing on one foot in the beginning.

    Ankle a bit sore so I might just try walking today - that'll help break in the shoes too. Will give them another try!
