What is the Plebe running and daily show policy? I need to get new shoes but don't want to waste money this close to I-Day.

I read that but it just deals with running shoes. But for a.c. year daily shoes is there a color or style restriction?Your Permit to Report, which you should get this month, will have pages of info and To Do/To Bring.
Take a look at 2020’s PTR in the meantime (couldn’t lay hands on 2021, though I have posted it a few times this year), Pages 10-11.
Shoe gouge! I don’t expect it will change for 2022, but there is always a possibility.

This is also the perfect time to go to a running store where your stride and footstrike tendencies can be analyzed. You’ll be doing a lot of running on hard surfaces, including chopping inside on deck.
Start now to harden your legs to stave off shin splints. Good, well-fitted shoes can also help.
This is great advice but definitely make sure you have adequate Vitamin D and Calcium. There were SO MANY stress fractures my DD's plebe summer year. I am a pediatrician and virtually every teenager I check has low vitamin D. Unless you are a lifeguard at the end of summer, drink lots of milk, or take a supplement, you are deficient. So continue to run prior to plebe summer but also make sure either your diet has above nutrients or take supplements. I think shin splints and stress fractures are totally avoidable. And Congrats Texmex!!!You might want to consider buying gel inserts to cushion your feet when you buy your running shoes. During DS's PS a couple of years ago, I mailed him a pair of inserts, along with his favorite shampoo/soap brands. About halfway through, PS, I mailed the second pair of shoes that he had broken in before he left for I-day., a second pair of inserts, and other items he had requested. At PPW, he wanted another pair or two of the inserts and new running shoes, because both of his old pairs were pretty trashed. (One of the ) athletic shoe stores in DTA had sales during PPW.
