Hi, Lala,
Does the Nike Shox have a cross-trainer designed specifically for that or is it a runner? The Shox running shoe is a great stability shoe which I find perfect for an orthotic user, since cushioned shoe offer too little support and motion control too much. One rule I live by is to use running shoes only for running and to get cross-trainers or aerobics shoes for strength and step and floor workouts just for the reason you cited. They are designed for workouts that move in all directions. Running shoes aren't. I HAVE observed runners running sideways and even backwards but not very often.
I have found shoes to be the most important aspect of staying injury and PF free.
Good luck!

Maturity is the ability to do a job whether or not you are supervised, to carry money without spending it, and to bear an injustice without wanting to get even.

I'd really suggest going to a good running store and getting fitted. It was the best thing I did for my PF other than getting my insoles. I actually wear Asics Gel Nimbus running shoes even tho I do more cross training. But they fit my very wide width and high arches and gave me support for PF.
