I've been walking home from the station, in a continued effort to loose weight, normally about 3 times a week for about the past couple of weeks. I've clocked the walk at 2.74 miles.

Long story short, I bought some new trainers last week, just some Reebok, felt very comfortable but during long walks I started to get pain in the arches of my feet, especially the left.
I put it down to needing to break the trainers in and continued.
Things seemed to be getting better until today, both my hips are absolutely throbbing! :eek:. Painkillers and a hot bath later and I'm still suffering.

I think I can safely pin the blame on my new trainers, but my question is how do I avoid making this mistake again? The trainers do feel good to wear and Only give me grief after about 10 minutes of walking.
As silly as it sounds, is there someone I can see to have a look at my feet/way I walk and tell me what shoes/trainers I need to buy?
 
Altough your trainers are probably playing a big part, it may well be worth looking into some mobility espically if your hibs are throbbing.

MWOD and the mobility thread here.

Doesn't seem to be a thread link there :o

No offence but pain after a 3 mile walk can't really be blamed on footwear, it's just your body not used to it. I would prescribe mobility ills (which are free!) and see how you're doing in 5-10 more walks time

What are mobility ills?
