I just recently switched from Asics DS Trainer 22s and 23s to a Hoka Clifton 6 and am experiencing some soreness in my arch and front, inside of knee on one leg throughout the day but NOT when I'm running or walking.
I have been in the Asics for around 2 years now and been very happy with them but I am trying to increase my mileage following BarryP from the 18-20 I am at to more like 30-35 and wanted to try something with a bit more cushioning for the increase. I followed the plan for about a week before changing shoes and did not increase mileage between the two weeks (20mpw). I, somewhat stupidly, made the switch without any alternating between shoes. I also did not move my lock laces over to the Hokas.
For what it's worth, I'm 215#, have a medium arch according to my FleetFeet scan, and have no history of foot/ankle injuries from running. I run with a more mid/forefoot strike and felt like the heel on the DSTs was "in the way" somewhat.
I would love any suggestions on a cause for the soreness, approaches to figuring out if the Hokas are good for me, or other shoes I should try instead. Thanks!
