Looking for advice: I just got new Brooks Adrenaline 13s. I've been running in the 12s. I tried them out on Saturday for a long run, and they seemed good--certainly better than my broken-down 12s. But when I went on a short run yesterday, they were weird on my feet. There was a spot on my heel that felt pushed on; my feet felt heavy; and I felt like my right leg was "twisting" in. But, of course it was kind of slick and slushy, so I may have been running with a weird gait. I don't know what to do, because none of the other shoes I tried on in the store felt better than these.
My thoughts: Give them another try on my run on Thursday (warm rain will have cleared out the slush). Depending, I can try them one last time on Saturday's long run. Then I'd have to make the decision if I want to take them back on Sunday. (The store has a 15-day policy. Depending on how worn they think they are, it will be full refund or store credit.) I can probably still get a pair of 12s online. What do you think I should do? What should I look for when I am trying these in the next two runs?? Thoughts?
I'd give them at least one more "normal" run, if you have until Sunday you have time. I loved my Adrenalines but needed a different type shoe after my last knee surgery. I hope it was just yucky weather that made them feel off!
