Extensor Tendonitis

tight. I started tying them tighter after I received blisters under my toenails and then I
developed posterior tibial tendonitis. Does anyone have advice on good socks or shoe tying
techniques that will help keep the foot padded and stable but not too tight?

Could you please tell me what your symptoms are for both/either of these tendonitii?

Thanks! Mary

For my posterior tendonitis I went to physical therapy and improved my calf and foot stretches which
helped the problem but that was pain around my ankle which ran up my tibia.

With the extensor tendonitis there is an intense pain when running on the top of my foot with a
little swelling where my shoelaces are tied, I have them double looped and wear Brooks Addiction IV
with custom orthodics. I have had it happen before but never quite this bad. I have been increasing
my training lately which could have aggravated it.

There are many ways to tie a running shoe that will move the forces around to your advantage. You
might try this, starting with the laces through the bottom holes: Run one lace from side to side
through all the eyelets and bring the other lace straight up to the top crossing over just the one
time. Make the latter on the outside of each shoe.
