For a long time I underestimated the shoe problem, but like others already mentioned you should definitly consider buying a new pair of shoes at least every six months. That at least makes sure that the damping is fine. The quality of the shoe is another issue.

In addition many problems might also occur because of your back. Just running and nothing else is not particulary good in the long term - at least not for everyone. For example I have to do daily exercises for my back to strengthen it.

In any case - if the problem remains or comes back after a 2-4 week break - I would consider visiting a sports doctor.

EDITED:
Another good idea would be to have two pair of shoes (of different make) so that the your feet do not get customized to one shoe.
