Sole fault?
I believe there may be a fault in the forefoot part of the sole in these shoes. Or at least my pair.
I recently switched from ASICS, and after 10 years of running marathons and halfs had never had a foot problem.
After a month of these shoes, the left one developed a squeaky squidgy feel in the forefoot area. Within a week I had a foot injury in that same area. A month off running and serious physio appears to have soothed it somewhat. I ran today without pain.
Yes, it is possible this injury is unrelated to the shoe, but I cannot put it down to anything else. Not happy.
Anyone else had similar issues with this shoe? Other Mizunos? Other shoes?
