Need New Running Shoes? Please read details!?

I recently started cross country summer training, and my feet have been hurting from it. I got new shoes at the beginning of June and ran in them, but a few weeks after summer training started, I had problems such as my feet being covered in peely blisters and bloody toenails. Does this mean that I need new/different running shoes? Or does it have nothing to do with the shoe, just my feet?

Need New Running Shoes? Please read details!?
i%26#039;m actually training for cross country as well this summer and my socks were bloody from blisters every time i got back from a run. i think my shoes are too small so you should try to get bigger one. Make sure they aren%26#039;t too big though because then your foot will slip when you run.
Reply:black toe nails and blisters are definately signs of a distance runner. they will heal in a couple of months. .it%26#039;s a sign that you have been working hard, almost every runner gets at least one, congrats. when you select shoes you must remember to get them at least half a size bigger than your normal size. it%26#039;s important to remember that your feet swell up while they%26#039;re running, needing more space. it%26#039;s both your feet and shoe. you%26#039;re probrably new to running and your feet are getting use to the friction. a tight fitting doesn%26#039;t help.
Reply:I would say you need to get fitted at a specialty store....say fleet feet. Most stores will measure your feet and then have you run on a treadmill for a little while and they will see how you step and then reccomend a few pairs of shoes and you can try each of them on and choose your favorites. You might feel really stupid doing all this because trust me I did but don%26#039;t sweat all runners have this done once they get serious about running.
Reply:If your toe nails are not too long then your shoes are too short. You should not have bloody toenails. Get fitted into the correct size shoe.
Reply:they%26#039;re probably too small and not right for your feet. go to a running store and someone will match your feet with a specific pair of shoes. you could get really injured if you don%26#039;t do this, so it%26#039;s a must.
Reply:the shoes probably not right for you foot..try a different brand like sacouny..there the best
Reply:you need new shoes, go to a specialist runnning shop for a fit (not a generic big box high street sports store)
Reply:Depending on your foot arches you could need different kind of shoes or just bigger shoes. Assuming that your shoes are most worn by the big toe, ball of the foot and sole of the foot you may need a shoe with more stability especially if you are heavier. I suggest getting Asics. I have been using them for three years and I haven%26#039;t gotten many blisters. Make sure they fit and support your arch type. Most shoe stores hire people who know what they%26#039;re doing so you should ask the experts.
