I have been getting alot of tenderness in the pad of my forefoot after about 8 to 10 miles. Do I need a better cushioned shoe or is there some other reason this is occuring?
If I need a better cushioned shoe are there any recommendations?

These shoes are designed with extra cushioning, so I don't think more padding will help. First question: have you recently started running or suddenly increased your mileage? If so, back off the miles a bit and let your body catch up. If that isn't the case, keep reading. Have you owned similar shoes previously? It is possible that these don't fit your foot properly. Are you running on pavement? The pavement is very unforgiving on your feet and joints. If this is it, try getting some trail runs in or do cross training a few times a week (bike or swim instead of running). Or, if this is a problem you had before using these shoes, it might be time to see a doctor.
