So I finally broke down and bought some cliftons after years of running in brooks prue flow. I got them because I have knee pain when I run and I thought they may help.
After 2 runs I feel like my feet hurt and I my shins hurt?? I run on my forefoot and have never had shin pain

anyone need time to adjust?
My philosophy is that if the shoe is the right match for your support needs, there should be very little (or even no), break-in time. The only thing you should ever have to ‘break in’ is the insert so that your foot is locked in better. I just got a pair of Huaka and Conquest 2 yesterday. Ran 40 in the Huaka last night and 50 in the Conquest 2 today and had zero issues. Had either of them been faster runs, I would have taken the stock insert from my Conquest (first version) and slapped them in to prevent blistering.
Maybe the Clifton is not the right shoe for you. It’s not for many.
I had a lot of shin pain when I first started with hoka’s. So much that I put them in a drawer for a year. Tried them again, still had shin pain, but powered through it until I didn’t. After that, my old wave alchemy shoes felt like they had no cushin. I then Came to like, not love, the hoka’s. I didn’t have that experience where I put them on and never had knee pain again, like many claim. I’m a heal striker, and would have thought that a mid foot striker would have liked them better. To me it feels like the mid foot is the thickest part of the shoe, and that it takes extra energy to roll through the mid foot to push off.
Is there a drop difference between the two sets of shoes? Are the Hokas less heel to toe?
I wonder what exactly causes shim pain? I do know it’s related to force on the front of the foot, possibly torsion (or twist). I was at a roundtable of docs, they were treating track injuries and shin splints were an issue,ie no remedy.
Since I first put the on in September 2012, I’ve not run in anything else. My first run was about 30 mins and then the next day I went for a 15 miler with no issues.
I agree with most other people. The right pair of shoes requires zero adjustment. When I put on my first pair of Brooks Adrenaline, I could instantly tell that they were magical. I’m currently test driving Bondi 3’s, and they felt great right out of the box.
