numb feet

[lchlogan]

I have recently started to run long distances, and I feel fine except for one thing: after about 3 miles, my feet go numb! I've used all different kinds of shoes. What could be causing this? Are my feet weak? What can I do to fix it?

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not an expert or anything but it could possibly be a couple of things.
1. Your shoes are too tight ;-)
2. Maybe... for some reason... your feet aren't getting a good ammount of blood supply
3. Not sure of a third but I'm sure someone can think of one.

Check how tight your shoes are tied. Also depending on your arch height and how the shoes fit there are different ways to lace up the shoes to relieve some pressure thus preventing numbness.
