Running

So since after my run yesterday the top of my feet are really sore. I thought I'd just done my laces up too hard, and tied them looser twice during the run but it didn't help. Last time my shoes got so loose the support went out the window, even worse

Has anyone else had this? Hopefully I just over-tightened the laces from the beginning, but googling and finding running forums (they seem to be a bit like bikeradar i tell ya), i've been diagnosed with everything from stress factures to bad shoes via improper lacing of the shoe.

(one guy recommended lacing the shoe backwards, ie start from the top and have a knot at the toes. Kinda make sense as it would make for a bit more give at the top?)

((I also toyed with the idea of flexible laces as I went to bed, not sure if it's a a good idea or not though?))

did 9k today. Had to stop quite a few times to loosen the shoes up, ended up re-lacing them to avoid pressure on the top of my foot. Helped the pain but support wasn't great.

Think i'm gonna give flexible laces a go, it seems like a good idea in my head at least. + different ways to lace
