Newton running Shoes

Ongoing foot problems since Dorset doddle. GP referred me to ortho surgeon with an interest in sports medicine. After mri scan it seems I have degenerative disease of the bones in the foot. Probably due to high shoes & over use ie. running!!! He suggested I try Newton shoes (the barefoot running style) & also referred me to podiatrist.
Tried out the newtons this week & lo & behold, got a 10k PB. 51:21:42. Chuffed to bits. Shoes do make the old calves ache though. Sure they will toughen up eventually!
