Actually, the shoes I bought are Saucony's. I literally went from not running for several years to running three miles almost every day.
Well, about flat feet.. I have worn flip flops regularly for the past three years. In high school, open toed shoes were not allowed, so I didn't wear them nearly as much as I do now. I suppose my feet must have flattened out at least slightly, but I still have an arch and I can still run my fingers under my foot when my foot is flat on the ground.
There is a running store that does free gait analysis and shoe fittings nearby, so I am going to go in and get my feet tested tomorrow.
Should I just take it easy for a while and slowly get back into running? Does working out your legs in the gym help prevent shin splints?
Thanks for the replies yall.
