Shoe pain

Damn, damn, damn. Why do ASICS keep changing their shoes??

For about a week, I've had a tight/sore muscle on the outside of my lower left leg, just above the ankle. I don't know what that muscle is called, but I do know what's caused it - the ASICS Evolutions I've been wearing for my long runs. Shorter runs don't seem to cause any problems, because I've had the shoes since November, but have only had this ache for a week or so.

And it seems to be getting worse. My left foot is tilting to the outside, and the whole ball/toe area feels like it's falling off the sole of the shoe. And I overpronate!

So, I don't want to run in the Evolutions, and my old Kojis are a bit too worn to do a long run in. I tried to order another pair of Kojis from stringersports, but they sent me a pair of Evolutions instead. The Kayanos don't suit my foot (well, they didn't in ~1999 when I bought a pair), and the 2000s went crap after the 2040 (whatever year that was). The MCs were good, the Kojis were good, and now what do I buy????

So, I'm not going for a run tomorrow. And I'm going to have to take a couple of hours off work sometime next week to: (a) drive to Clayton to return the mis-delivered ones from stringersports; and (b) check out Active Feet in Prahran for a new pair of shoes. Probably not ASICS, unfortunately - they've done me well for the last 10 years or so.

Dammit.
