Re: Sassy: July 2006 - 41 & BB Bound

I have a lot of problems with my feet. Low arches, wide feet, unusual wear pattern. Asics work well for me. They wider and very supportive. Nike is horrible for me.

I don't have issues with my feet, but agree with you on the Nike - they are VERY narrow & the toe box is cramped or something.....

I've liked the Asics I've had in the past.....Hope the new sneaks feel better for you Sassers.....

Make sure to stretch them and do some light massage on the muscles. I started getting those and if you can stretch the muscle then you can prevent the splints. Especially after every sprint day you run since the muscle is already warm.
Did you pick your shoes based on your foot type??

Few questions... I have been looking at competition shoes... I have long legs... What would you recommend heel height, and what look? Should I get one with an ankle strap to cut up the length?

My predisposition towards shinsplints dates back to jr high track so I'm prone, one way or another.

The shoes were chosen based on arch support & cushion -- the 'best' option had a design that cut into the top of my foot when I went up on my toes, so I went w/ this - the next down w/o getting nutty on the price. I've already got at least as many tennis shoes as I do dress shoes now.

The shoes you need are the 5" lucite ones w/ the very low bottom (no stacks). I personally don't like the strap shoes - it does exactly that - it cuts the line of your leg. Why would you want to do that? They group you by height so if your long line is chopped short and you are next to someone just as tall or taller than you, what does that get you? I also find them distracting - but it depends on how comfortable you are walking in them as well. If the slides don't fit right, they clunk when you walk. I personally prefer the slides- but I need a strap high on my foot or they won't stay on.

Here are the usual ones you see:

Check ebay for prices as well.

shinsplints suck! I get them all the time to. Fill a styro cup with water, freeze it, then peel back styro to reveal ice. rub on shins after workout. Works pretty good for me. The next day I use heat.
