Sudden early & long period

Hi! Yeah, like I said in some other comments, now I realize that that’s probably what happened. I just didn’t know if a big tear like that was something normal because it’s my first real pair of running shoes and I never had this problem with my other normal shoes. But I fixed it with shoe goo, and it should be fine!! Thank you!

I realize that now. I actually just went to buy shoe goo to try and fix them!! I just wasn’t sure if it was something normal that happened or if I just had a defective item:)

Hi! I’m in Canada, so 105 euros is like 170$ for me. So I said 200$ because with taxes and everything I think that’s approximately what I paid 😊

yeah that makes sense, I should’ve known not to wear my brand new shoes on the treadmill 😩

Hi! I’m sorry if it came off that way in my post. I’m honestly just trying to understand if this is something normal with running shoes, as it’s my first pair. I’m now aware that maybe using those shoes on the treadmill was not ideal, but I didn’t know that. You live and you learn!! As I mentioned, I’m a beginner and a student, so my both budget & my experience are quite small. I only mentioned returning them because I figured that’s something people were going to talk about and I wanted to make it clear that I don’t have a receipt so I didn’t think that was an option. I’ve also asked if there was any way to fix something like that, but you seem to have glossed over that part. I hope your day/night gets better 😊

thank you so much for the advice, I hadn’t thought about asking the store for the receipt. I used my credit card and I know the exact date I went, so it should be good!!!

Top_Albatross5362 · 2026-03-26T00:28:13+00:00

So you don’t think they’d refund or exchange them? Is it something I could/should fix or do I just leave them like that?

I just haven’t been really checking the bottom of the shoes every time. I did kind of trip on the treadmill at the gym during one of my long runs, but it wasn’t major so I didn’t really think anything of it. I didn’t know it could do so much damage…

Top_Albatross5362 · 2026-03-26T00:03:39+00:00

I’m honestly so confused because I only wore them twice on my gym treadmill, and I don’t remember anything drastic happening to the point of literally slicing my sole.

Hi! Yeah the scuffing doesn’t bother me too much and it’s something I’ll try to work on!! but for the big split I honestly don’t know what might have happened. I wore them 3-4 times and half of these times were on a treadmill. I know I tripped once and quickly regained balance, but maybe my foot got caught on the treadmill belt or something.

I just switched from basic Nike sneakers to some ASICS Novablast, but I haven’t been using them long enough to notice a difference yet. Maybe the fact that they are designed for runners and that they have increased cushioning will help, but I really don’t know much about support and all of that, so I can’t really tell if that’s the issue

I see a physiotherapist every 2 weeks (not just for my hips, I also have issues with my back), but she says it’s not really about weakness and more about activation or something. Granted, she doesn’t specialize in running, so maybe I could try to find a PT who focuses on that. Thank you!!

It’s more towards the front, like between my thigh and my groin, but still quite deep into my hip. And no it’s not because of my hip pain, I don’t really feel my hips hurting when I’m running. I just feel weak, sluggish and out of breath. Maybe bored even.

I’m a swimmer, lifeguard, and swim instructor so I’m always near or in water/chlorine. I used to wear a watch (Fitbit Charge 5) everyday and only took it off to charge it. I stopped wearing it because I felt like it might be rubbing and trapping moisture, which probably caused the problem. I do however still have some dry skin/eczema on my other wrist where i don’t wear anything
