Ankle pain theory - 10/13/11
I've always worked in an environment that requires dress shoes. Seven months ago I switched jobs and began wearing my favorite boot of all time, Kenetrek Hardscrabbles, on a daily basis from sun up till sundown. I've never in my life wore boots on a daily basis. The Hardscrabbles give tremendous ankle support. About three weeks ago I started wearing more casual shoes again. Every since my ankles have been incredibly sore, I can't walk without limping. I attributed the pain to running but I've been running for several years and only since I pulled the boots off did I start to have the ankle pains. Did six months in the boots with such support weaken the ankles? Anyone experienced this?
