I have noticed the fron part of my foot (where the foot bends away/toward the leg) hurts when running. Is this due to my shoes, my form? I seem to be able to alleviate it a bit by running more on my toes, but that is difficult to do for very long. HELP?!

I think it has got a lot to do with your shoes. I had a very similar issue which got sorted after I changed my shoes Posted by: avidrunner on Jul 30, 2008 at 01:47 PM

OOh, I have experienced this...before I invested in a decent pair of shoes! Also, like BMoore said...going uphill in regular shoes could be the cause. Take care...and work it out! Posted by: Sarah on Jul 29, 2008 at 04:42 PM

Yes, sounds like some cushier socks would be appropriate and like Beth says, perhaps the shoe is causing the problem. Best Wishes. Let us know what you find out. Posted by: Betty on Jul 29, 2008 at 03:45 PM

Of course, I am not an exercise physiologist, but I can tell you theat I have occasionally had this problem. I have found that it reoccurs more when I have worn high-heeled shoes. My remedy? More cushioning in my socks (#1), and (#2) try switching to my Nikes, which have more cushioning in the forefoot. Have you been doing any trail running? Have you been running trails in regular running shoes? This could also be the cause of your discomfort. Posted by: bmoore on Jul 29, 2008 at 10:43 AM
