Run Run Away

Question:

How normal is it to wear shoes out on  the outer corner of the heel? My right heel wears out on the right edge and my left on the left edge. What does this say (if anything)about the type of shoe I need to jog? I’m inexperienced, aged 40 and would like to start running to get fitter. I’d like to avoid any injuries, thus this question. Any help appreciated. Geoff

Load http://www.roadrunnersports.com and check out the "Shoe dog fetch". There you can select an outsole wear pattern that matches yours. Good luck! Torkel

My shoes wear out exactly the same way and I have no problems. If I try to alter my foot strike it hurts me so I don’t bother. keep your shoe if you don’t get any joint or bone pain. If you do think about a pair of Asics running shoes the gel in the soles is outstanding and about the best u will get — From the sea we strike SBS Rule – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – How normal is it to wear shoes out on  the outer corner of the heel?
