My $20 running shoes were stealing my joy for six months
I just realized my $20 department store sneakers had zero arch support after my left foot went numb during a 5k training run last Sunday. A guy at the local run shop in Cleveland made me do a gait analysis on a treadmill and showed me how my ankles were caving inward. Anyone else figure out their gear was sabotaging them way later than they should have?

Wait til your toes go completely dead for a week straight, then tell me it's no big deal. Circulation issues can lead to nerve damage and balance problems if you ignore them long enough. Is a trip to the doctor really worse than losing feeling in your feet permanently?
