At least consider the possibility that no shoes are perfect alone, and any shoes need to be personalized. I'm having far fewer problems since I went to a podiatrist who specializes in sprinters. He has given me some inserts that he constructed -- not quite custom orthotics, but very, very good. He's also offering to "re-shape" my shoes, although I haven't quite given in to that yet. I'll think about it in February, though, when my schedule has room to breathe, and I can afford to be a little experiemental. If anyone feels like coming to Portland sometime, I'll give you a referral. This guy is fabulous!
