My knees have recently started to bother me. I have extreme pain mostly in my left knee. I can no figure out if it is the changed in shoes or if it is the running on an indoor track (which i have never done before this season). It suddenly started a few days after running in new Asics 2100s also around teh same time we had more indoor workouts. I feel like an old man…i'm only 18! Any ideas?

It more likely the running of the tight turns rather than the Asics.

I have a question to add to this subject….

What about road running? All of the PT I did out in VA was road-running and the shoes I had, the insoles were wearing though the outside stayed in great shape.  Would that cause severe knee pain (like I have in my left knee)?  And is this something that can be fixed or will I have to see a doc.  It's bad enough where I have to wear a knee brace to work and may even need one to continue running.

Trck400mRnnr-
I'd agree that the tight turns are the more likely culprit.

400stud-

What about road running?

Road running can cause problems because of the cambered roads, hard surfaces, or the possibility of overdoing the milage before your body is prepared. Overly worn shoes can certainly cause problems and outsole wear is not always the best indicator of the state of a shoe.
