I have been running in nike shoes and they have given me no problems- light, responsive, fit well and honestly is what got me into running is how i felt running in these. Im 5'5 200lbs and run about a mile and a half everyday. I had a gait analysis done and was recommended the clifton 9's. I bought a pair, but ran today for 1.3 miles and am now home with hip pain, above the knee pain, and my right small toes were going numb. I am confused why these shoes that came so highly recommended are now making my legs feel worse than the shoes that most runners probably wouldnt recommend. Any help is appreciated!

you would have to give more details on the drop height, amount of cushioning etc. also different brands have different size toe boxes and widths, so a shoe that doesn't fit your foot very well might cause problems, at least on the first few runs in it.
also was the person who recommended those shoes to you earning any commission on them?

You're lucky you have a pair you like and can run in. Go back to the Nike pair and stick with them. When they are discontinued, which they will be, find another pair that suit you.

This has to be a copy from reddit thread. A 5-5 200 lb letsrunner who runs 10 miles a week?
In the off chance you aren't about to post a spam thread - buddy its not the shoes. You need to supplement with cross training on the elliptical or arc trainer for 40-60 mins every other day until you can run 5 miles a day, 35 miles a week.

I am sorry, it's not the shoes.
Your BMI is 33.3. You need to lose some weight to help your hips and toes.
I would recommend to learn more about good nutrition and getting some cooking skills.10 -
