I bought these running shoes online because I wanted to start jogging every morning. They're supposed to be good for beginners but after just a mile, my feet ache so bad, especially in the arches. I picked a size 8, which is my usual, but maybe they're too narrow? I have flat feet, that could be it. The material feels stiff, and there's not much cushion. I've tried wearing thicker socks, but it doesn't help much. Jogging on pavement might be making it worse. My goal is to run a 5K eventually, so I need comfortable shoes. The color is nice, black and blue, but comfort is key. Any ideas on why this is happening or how to fix it?
