Well, finally my favorite shoes, my three-year old Merrill Chameleon 13W's have been complete worn through, so I'm running in some Columbia clunky shoes (Merrill stopped making the Chameleons in wide sizes.) And in the last two weeks, there has been absolutely no foot symptoms at all... The Chameleons are made of neoprene, and are almost like rubber galoshes -- that is, they squeeze the foot all the time, all the way around. Maybe they weren't the right shoe, after all!
A blog where we can discuss our goals regarding health, fitness, food and general wellness. This should be a fun space where we congratulate each other for a job well done, plan fitness activities to do together, and ask for extra support when we need it. Advice is good - but only when asked for! Feel free to post as much or as little as you like according to your own goals.

Feet and toe numbness
Since we're all family here :) I have had a problem for the last few months with my feet feeling "asleep", and charlie-horse like pain in my feet if I point my toes. Now, that can be a result of diabetes (Diabetic Neuropathy) so that had me somewhat scared. I hoped it would just go away. I've don't have any sign of diabetes, but my previous body structure would have made it likely in the future.

ReplyDeleteTransports on College nr. Claremont has got great shoe people. Good swimming / biking / running store.
ReplyDeleteI guess I was bound to forget to give you complete instructions --
ReplyDeleteLesson 1: When your feet hurt, get new shoes. Lesson 2: When your feet still hurt, get other shoes. A good running shoe store will let you return shoes that don't work. Beier feet are not made for most shoes, so you have to find the ones that work.
Lesson 3: Not eating wheat will cause foot cramps for the first 6 months or so. It happened to Berta and to me.
My toes also often fall asleep if I run for more than an hour or so.
