I was having trouble with shoes and feet for a while. I was wearing dress shoes to work and working in NYC I'm on pavement all the time. I rarely walk on anything other than pavement and handling the NYC subway daily is a lot on your feet. Lots of stairs, lots of concrete. At the end of the day if your feet don't hurt you're doing something right, which I have to thank Nike Free Run for.
Before I got these shoes my feet weren't getting enough cushion between my foot and the gravel. I was wearing dress shoes daily and frankly my feet were falling apart. I saw a doctor who told me that my arches had collapsed and I wasn't getting enough support from my dress shoes. I'm 25. He told me to get these hard inserts to put in my shoes. These weren't cushioned inserts, they were hard and stiff. They made the ground feel harder and made me even less comfortable than I had been before. That didn't make a lot of sense to me. Why would I want a nonflexible inserts to fix my flat feet? I tried the soft inserts as well, but obviously those soft inserts aren't re-engineering the shoes. My dress shoes still sucked, and the damage was done. My feet problems extended to my back and suddenly I'm 25 and miserable.
Now it's not fair to compare dress shoes and sneakers. Obviously sneakers should be more comfortable and provide more support. But you have to understand, the damage had been done. I moved to sneakers and STILL COULDN'T WALK IN MOST OF THEM. I experimented with a few different sneakers. In converse shoes my foot pain started almost immediately. I tried some cheap sneakers and those were also useless. I also tried an expensive pair of Nike sneakers, and frankly, those didn't work either. Nothing provided support to the inside of my foot, they only created a cushion for the bottom of my feet. I have four or five pairs of sneakers that I wore maybe 5 or 6 times that are sitting in my closet never to be seen again.
Enter Nike Free Run 5: These shoes are unlike most shoes and most sneakers because they're TIGHT, but they will eventually expand to fit your feet. They're tight but with lots of flexibility so the foot can do what it wants to do naturally, but the shoe gets right in there on the inside of the foot and lifted the portion of my wide feet that were prone to expanding. Again, my problem is flat feet. My arches were collapsing. This shoe LIFTS my arch and keeps it there. The shoe has those side strings that tighten the shoe around the sides of your feet, it's not just tightening the top of the shoe to the sole of the shoe (which logically will flatten your feet!). You can see the engineering on the shoe itself, the side strings around the sides of the shoe is where it's at. The support isn't coming from the sole, it's coming from all around the shoe. My feet feel much, much better. There were times where my feet hurt so much that I couldn't walk anymore. That doesn't happen to me now. I'm wondering if wearing these sneakers has reversed any of the problems I've had with my arches (since I used to have pretty good arches) but honestly, I have no interest in going back to the doctor even if only out of spite.
This doesn't solve my problem with bad dress shoes. Well, actually, it kind of does. At least my feet are healthy enough to put on dress shoes when I absolutely need to. But the rest of the time, it's Nike Free Run 5.
I stick with the all black ones most of the time. I bought the bright yellow pair as well, but I haven't brought myself to wear them much. They're just too garish. I'll probably get them in the more subdued red colors next, but these are likely to be the only sneakers wear from now on. For life.
