Did they finally get rid of that bite-happy seal?
I will be at AP in the mornings after the holidays.

stan23 said:I took my new kicks for it's maiden run last night. I did a 4 miler, but my right knee started to bug me. I dunno if it's the shoes. The left leg felt very fresh.
The one thing I noticed is that I got 1/2 size bigger shoe, and it fits kinda loose.. like my heal lifts up from the shoe moreso than before. (it was recommended that I get 1/2 size bigger)
I'll run again tonight and see whats up.
+1. A little ice on the knee right after the run helps too.m_asim said:Stop at the first sign of tightness/pain in the knee. Don't try to tough it out like I did.

The 1/2 size bigger should not be the problem. In everyday shoes i wear a 10-10.5 and my running shoes are 11.5 and i do not have the problem of the heel lifting. It appears to me that you may have got sold on the newest, latest and greatest technology for a high price. How many different pairs of shoes did you try on? Did you go into the store and ask to try on the Asic's GT series and stay focused on them because everyone here recommends them? Your foot is different than somebody elses. I'm sure the Asic's GT series are top of the line shoes, however, they may not be for you.
When i first got fitted for running shoes i tried on about 12-15 different pairs of several different brand names and models. I walked in them, took a short jog in them and took my time asking questions and feeling the shoes out. I went with the shoe that fit my foot and category, additionally, the one that was the most comfortable. I ended up with the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6. At the time it was by far the best shoe for me. Prior to these shoes i was getting weird little pains in my ankles, knees, etc. which have all gone away.
So how did your second run in them go?

My 2nd run faired better, but I will still keep looking for shoes as I know it is a trail and error process and I hear it's best to alternate your running shoes.
