A couple of weeks ago I got new shoes and today I’m returning them because they’re causing me pain.
At first I thought it was just a matter of breaking them in but after several uses it seems my plantar fasciitis reared its ugly again face due to the new shoes.
The last couple days I wore my older shoes and things are getting better. I’m actually annoyed that because of this small set back I’m behind on my weekly goals. I only ran once early in the week, in the new shoes, the next day I had a hard time even walking.
Hopefully I get fitted correctly this time in something more appropriate for me.
Then I can officially retire this good old friends.
I’m always interested the gear people wear so I’m curious to know which pair you buy.

I’m walking back from the store with the new shoes as you posted the question!
I chose the Brooks Dyad 8. It’s a more stiff shoe that should help with the PF, at least that’s what I was told. We’ll see how it feels after a couple of runs.

Cool! Let us know what you think of them.

Brooks are heavy… be careful… their soles are hard which force your forefoot to absorb the shock and could pull on PF. When you get home freeze a waterbottle and start using that frozen bottle, rollingn under length of PF after each run for 15 to 20 min every night. Good luck!
