So this has happened a few times, I have gone out for a jog (read=walk) and my feet have gone kind of numb and start to hurt. My shoes are the right size, maybe its the width? I dunno, I have 2 pairs of runners and its happened with both. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Niffer!

Actually this happens to me too (or it did). My diagnosis was something called claudication. In the old days it was called "hardening of the arteries" or now Cardiovascular disease.

Now, don't freak, there are things I did that helped. My doctor put me on a blood thinner. Then she told me to keep walking, when you think you can't go farther, go a little father. When you walk you are building new blood vessels around the old clogged ones. So, keep walking! I'm no doctor, but I have the same exact thing.

At least I've given you a name for what it might be so you can do a little investigating on your own or ask your doctor if that may be the problem.

I've just started my final and successful weight loss. I'm not calling it a diet. I'm not calling it an attempt. I'm going to do it, one way or another. I am so determined.

Best to you... Hope this helps in a small way.

How were your shoes fitted?

you say your shoes are the right size, but you're speculating width? if the width is incorrect then your shoes are not the right size...

barring a medical issue mentioned above... Get your butt to a running store (not a box store that's self service) bt an actual store that has employees trained to watch how you walk, and get you fitted in the proper pair of shoes for how you do walk or run...

right size meaning length, I have never had a problem with the width of shoes, maybe its just this brand? Thanks for the tips, both of you!

Good on ya for the walking! It is now such a part of my life that I actually miss it when I don't do it.

Please do go see your physician regarding numbness in any part of your body that occurs more than once. It could be nothing, but you are always better to get it checked out, as numbness can represent a number of problems.

I agree that you should go to proper athletics store and have them determine your footwear needs. Expensive shoes are totally worth it, once you get over the sticker shock

Cheers and keep us posted,

I would love expensive shoes that I know are just right for me but $$ is so tight right now, boyfriend has gone back to college and it leaves me with a large load to carry. I have an older pair of runners, maybe I will try those today and see if the same thing happens.
