help, i bought a pair of Kayano's last week but too k them back after they caused me foot probs, in the forefoot) i had only worn them twice outseid but they just didnt feel right. swapped them for 2100's which felt fine, i ran in them yesterday and they were ok, but when i took them off i noticed my right big toe was numb, i havent expereinced this before. now when i am wearing the 2100's i am finding them a little uncomfortable over the top of my foot near the big toe and my feet feel numb when i have them on (which i never noticed before) do you think i should take them back (a second time) or just persevere and see what happens (should they take a while to wear in?) i have never had problems before with my previous shoe (sauconly grid omni) and now i am really confused. there is ony the one specialist shoe shop in my area so i cant go elsewhere for my shoes!!
thanks, any help gratefully recieved

I had a similar problem with some trail shoes I brought last winter. Although the grip was fine, I found that my big toe was always sore at the top. I knew they were the right length shoe, as I could get my thumb between the big toe and the end of the shoe.
What appeared to be the prob was that the front of the shoe wasnt "tall" enough, and it meant that my toe was banging against the top of the shoe.
Unfortunately by the time I had sussed this, they had been through puddles, mud etc and smelt like a sheeps backside. (well not quite, but you know what I mean).
I was therefore forced to take extreme action, and cut a hole in the shoe over the top of the toe.
I wouldnt really recomend this for lovely expensive shoes, but mine were a cheap pair of trails. It did sort the toe prob out, but I cant run in them in the rain anymore.
Obviously you may not want to do that, but it may give you an idea of what your prob is??
thanks DS
