    Brief Medical History Overview

    Legs, knees, and running shoes

    Hi ,
    I have come to this forum for an advice because I am really confused about my leg condition. I want to know what shoes I should be wearing for running?
    I have attached a link so that you guys can analyze my legs, knees, and feet and determine if I over or under pronate. I was never educated on these things.
    I like running and I am new runner. When I was using regular shoes, my co-runner observes that I run weird, and make heavy foot noise after a mile (basically when I am tired). I feel tiredness and pain just above my ankles with regular shoes which goes away after 10, 15 min. I did little investigation and observed my shoes and figured that I might little over pronate. So I went to Shoe store and bought running shoes for over pronation. Now running style is better and I dont make heavy foot noise but now I am suffering with a lot of other issues , like pain in knees, hips, Heels, and uneasiness in Achilles tendon. Moreover now, I unintentionally hesitate to put my heel on the ground with regular shoes.
    I have been using new shoes for 3 weeks and still giving it time so that I may get used to it. I don't know.
    Should I just quit running believing that running is not for me because of my legs structure? I can run bicycle instead but I will miss running.
    Here is a link to pictures. Please forgive mess in the background as I just move in this place and my hairy legs. I had to use boxer otherwise my knees did not have any clear view.
