Title: Is it due to shoes?
Post by: Cover_Drive on May 10, 2013, 04:04:44 AM

For shoes experts out there.

I am currently using Nike Flywire Century II, however, I have noticed that while bowling and fielding side of my feet would hurt (arch). Here is an illustration;

(The circled part)

Is it due to shoes or way I am running? From centre I feel I have wide feet's, so are shoes narrow?

Any help would be appreciated.

Difficult one to answer but it sounds more like you are either getting too much or not enough support for your arches rather than a width problem.

If you feel you have wide feet, then I don't think Nike shoes are the best for you.  I have Size 12 super wide flipper feet, and Nike and Adidas shoes really are not wide enough.  Asics are just about though...

I've got the asics speed menace shoes from last year, and they are perfect.  I also have to wear some pretty bulky orthotics as, in the words of the podiatrist, I have the flattest feet in the world.  The speed menace's give me plenty of room, support for my feet and ankle and they are comfy

could be width as I've found Nike narrow and my feet aren't ultra wide. You could try gel arch supports maybe?

totally agree
For Wide size you need Asics

If you think it's not wide enough , Try redoing the laces completely from scratch with your feet in the shoes. Are you having similar issues with other trainers/ shoes and is it just one foot or both ?. Have a look at this topic to see if there are any lacing patterns that help CD.http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=22023.msg353987#msg353987 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=22023.msg353987#msg353987)

Go to a running shop a get a gate analysis done, it will start with you're arches but might work its way up to you're knees as you change your walking, running style to accommodate the discomfort.

Interesting this mate. I posses this very pair of shoes and have really noticed this problem. It's at its worst when I keep and I offer find I have to lift one foot off the ground to let it rest, really is uncomfortable.
Will try the suggestions here though thanks! ;)
