running shoes

i recently bought some running shoes and i wore them today to run, it felt like when i was running there was alot of pressure on my feet and my feet hurted so bad, is this because the shoes are too small? any idea why? it doesnt hurt or nothing when i walk just when i ran
 
Unfortunatly Im not a shoeologist. There could be many many reasons.

1 - they are ment to be more tight than normal shoes, so that they dont rub.
2 - They could be too small
3 - they could just be a different shap to what you are used to.
4 - you may have done them up too tight.
 
Check what width you are widths vary the average is a 2E. I just bought a pair of asics gel kayanos I highly reccomend them.
 
Just go back to the shoe store and tell them its just not working out for you. Then ask to speak with a "shoeologist" :) and get them to help you find the right one. I did that just last week. I had purchased a pair of asics and they were rubbing the back of my right heel. Very strange. So I exchanged them for a better pair. The shoeologist there helped me pick it out.
 
new shoes need to be broken in. i always wear new shoes to work for a few days before hitting the cardio in em.

good running shos dont have to be broken in...

and if you have special feet, over or under pronate u could go to a special store where they record u ronning on a tred mill and then customise yur shoes from that, a friend of mine did she was working on a injury she thinks now shes all good give it a try
 
I agree, new shoes don't need to be broken in. Twice I have gotten new shoes 2 days before endurance races and its been just fine.

I have had that "pressure" and "hot spot" pain in my feet with just about every shoe I have tried (nike, asics, new balance, saucony). The only shoe that works for me is addidas brand and its because that brand has a larger "head" (where your toe is) and I have wide feet. I don't know exactly why the pain or pressure but I know for me it usually has to do with my feet "suffocating" in the shoe in some way. As advised I'd go to someone who knows what they're doing in shoes. Specialty places do some quick assessments of your walking gait, running and look at your old shoes to see your running "style". Its worth it.

I gotta agree with that. I got my Asics and was running on them the same night and had no problems whatsoever.

When I went to get my shoes, there were two width sizes. Regular and extended width. Maybe you need the extended size. Ask for help at the shoe store in which you are buying them, as the people there would know about shoes. :)
 
Merciless probably has the best guess so far. Width. I wear a 2E on most shoes as a minimum; less than that and i step over the sides of the shoe, destroying most of my ligaments if done in successive cardio ^^
 
If possible, go to a store specializing in running shoes. One of their employees should be able to analyze you're foot and running style to see which shoe fits you the best. I for instance wear Brooks, a shoe designed for under pronated and flat-footed people. You can also buy an insert to help with your under or over pronation.
 
Well i must be weird I would consider myself a pretty serious runner, and I always have to break my shoes in before a good run, but anyways youre feet swell when you run, maybe that is why they are tight, also maybe they have no arch supports or maybe they have too much arch supports or maybe they just aren't good shoes! But if you are new to running you should expect some pain. I personally love Addidas, then Asics are my 2nd!!!
