DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!
Well, I just tried out my new shoes on a short run and am annoyed as hell....I did the first 1.5 miles with my insoles I bought in Memphis and the second 2.5 miles with my remade custom orthotics...I don't know what to think. I hope to God that I have not just wasted $167 for nothing and that it is just the normal adjustment period. The Memphis insoles made my heels feel better, but I think they may have added too much cushion...while the orthotics seemed a little low on the arch. On top of that, I think the 1224 is a bulkier shoe....AGHHHH! I feel like I have mild shin splints and that always happens when I don't have good arch suport. Hopefully in a few runs, I'll work the kinks out...I would hate to have spent all that money on a shoe I can't wear.....

I feel your pain!! I wore my new 1224's on my 8 mile run yesterday and last night while stretching in bed my left shin felt tender. When I told Michele she thought it was from our 2 mile trash pick-up yesterday afternoon. Well we ran 6 miles tonight and OW my shin really hurt. Still not sure if it's the shoes but I am really bummed right now :( cute pink shoes aren't cheap!
Yeah....I called New Balance about their return policy..If they recommended the shoes to you..you have 60 days to return them for a refund. The thing is...they tell you to give the shoes time, to get adjusted to them ,but by doing so...you wear the shoes and they can't be returned..geez....
