I thought about the laces so I did stop and loosen them quite a bit. No help. The shoes are definately not too small either. What I thought was the weirdest was it continued even while walking. It was a 4 mile walk and almost the whole time my foot and leg felt this way. It was definately worse up and down the hills verses flat. I have a slight pain in my shin and now that I'm home w/ my shoes off my feet feel like they would if I spent all day in high heels. I kind of feel like the new shoes make me run flater. The bottoms of the shoes seem very stiff instead of flexible. I had a pair of Asics, the new pair is Mizuno.

Did you get them fitted in a running store? I had similar problems when I was running in shoes that didn't support my footfall (I need motion control shoes and these were neutral)

A salesman at Dick's Sporting Goods helped me out. He seemed very knowledgeable and is a runner himself. My new shoes are neutral. That does feel a bit weird. My last shoes had a little more stability but the wear marks were on the outer bottom tread which he said meant my shoes were over correcting my feet. My old shoes were wearing out and I started having sore feet early in the run and pain in my shins so I went for new shoes a week later. Maybe I waited too long. Now w/out running just everyday walking around I'm feeling pain in my heel from time to time and shooting pains in the arch of my foot. I think I'll just return my shoes for the old brand I had. I'm not running until I do.
