 Posted: 01/02/04 - 17:17 Post subject: new shoes and pain...
I bought new shoes that I like. I feel like I've bruised the top of my right foot, though. I've tried loosening the shoestrings... the other foot is fine. Also, is there a way to tighten up the heal area. I got the Asic Cumulus (naming shoes after clouds...GREAT marketing strategy) because not only are they a good cushion shoe but they also have a wide toe box. My foot is narrow, though, by the heal and I slip when I run. I'm wondering if this is what is causing the bruising on top of my foot. 
Thanks,
Shelly

I also have a narrow heel, but rather wide forefoot and the linked lacing technique that JRJO posted is what I use.
If you still have problems with forefoot tightness I'd suggest one or both of the following...
*replace insoles in cumulus with a pair from shoes that you ran in without problems...
*try skipping a loop over the part of the foot where you are feeling stress...
