Yo guys.
I just got a new pair of new balance running shoes. The shoes are great but I have one problem.
One of the shoes fits perfectly, but the other is a bit too restricting, causing pain in my foot and leg.
I tried re-lacing and re-tying the shoes, both exactly the same. Nothing changed. I was wondering if anyone might no what could be causing this. Could it be the shoes, or something wrong with my foot?
If it's important, it's the new balance MT570.
*EDIT* It's the MT570, not WT

Try looking at the shoes to see if they were made in the same Country(sounds silly i know).
As you may or may not know shoes are made on a "last" and although in an ideal world all "lasts" would be the same, they are not they sometimes vary from country to country.
Alternatively you may have one foot bigger than the other like most people.

I just checked out both of the possibilities.
My feet are both the same, and the shoes are both made in china (xD).
Any other possibilities? |

have you had new balance shoes before?
Have you run in them yet?
is it possible to return them?
If the answer to these questions is no, then due to the shape of your feet New balance shoes just might not be the shoe for you

Unless its your first time wearing shoes, you should know instantly that if you had perfect fits before and a none perfect fit its mostly likely the way the one pair was made.
I have alot of made by hand (N.D.C) shoes and sometimes you do get a bit of a variation but so much better than machine processed.

I would say return them, and try a different pair of the same shoes to see if it is the shoe, or your feet.

A proper running shop should let you return the shoes even if you have worn them. |

Thats not quite true,
I have worked for in a number of specialist sports/running shops and once a shoe is worn outside and the sole is marked it`s not possible to return them unless their is a manufactures fault as it`s not possible for the shop to re-sell them.
A good running store would ask questions before recommending suitable shoes even if the customer has a specific model in mind, check the fit once the customer is wearing the shoes allow them to take as much time when trying them and answer any questions the customer may have.

a local shop near me, which has now been taken over, would let you take the trainers home and wear them, and if they didn't feel right, they would let you change them.
Now thats a real shop.
