Been running in Brooks GTS8 with no problems at all. Just changed to the GTS9. after first run (3mile intervals) developed dreadful shinsplints. Will give them a rest until it clears up and retry again perhaps on treadmill.
Anyone else experienced this?. Not good at £80 a pair!
I know a lot of people who have complained about the Brooks GTS9 after being loyal Brooks GTS6-GTS8 buyers. There are many differences between the two running shoes which is causing a lot of knees, lower back, ankles and shin pains.
Main difference is that the Brooks GTS 9 is a wider and longer shoe which is causing all the pain. If you have a more narrow foot you should maybe try the Asics 2140 or Mizuno Wave Inspire 5.
Hope that helps,
Elaine
