I never realized how important it is to have the correct type of running shoe for your foot until I got shin splints. I was never a “runner” and did not know all of the ins and outs that go along with running and having the proper gear. I just thought that you put on a pair of shoes and head outside and start going. Wrong! I played soccer when I was younger and that is about all of the running I did. In my journey to lose weight, I decided I wanted to become a runner. I started working out with a personal trainer in February of 2009. She asked me what my fitness goals were. I told her that I wanted to be like “one of those people that you see at the gym that run on the treadmill so effortlessly.” Therefore, that is when I decided to start running and I had a great plan to start. I started slowly with walk/run intervals on the treadmill and worked my way up to build endurance and run faster. I noticed that my shins would hurt from time to time, but eventually would go away in a day or two.

I have been stupidly training with neutral shoes, the nimbus, and just found out my foot type. Is it all right to put my orthodics in my 2120s
it is ok as long as they are the half orthodics. if they are the ful foot orthodics then they might not fit. but if you just try them out then you will find out.
