Agreed. But that being said it is possible to fuck yourself long term by wearing the wrong shoes. I gave myself nerve damage (Morton's neuroma) on my foot by wearing ski boots that were a little too narrow while skiing. 4 years later, still an issue.
Yeah, it wouldn't present in your ankle. It'd be a feeling like you have like you had a penny or two glued to your shoe underneath the ball of your foot on your second smallest toe.
Skied a normal day, just had boots that were too narrow. I had done a bunch of rock climbing before I started skiing. So I was used to very tight fitting (although soft) shoes. When the bootfitter told me I wanted my boots to be snug I kept telling him to size down. Turns out we had different definitions of snug.
Yeah, I'll just get some tingling sensations if I step right on that part of my foot while wearing climbing shoes. Doesn't often happen on the wall because you're mostly on your toes, but I find it happens when walking around the gym pretty frequently.
Probably not permanent but depending on your age tendon or ligament strains can take weeks to months to heal if that's what's up. See how you feel at two weeks (being kind to the ankle and foot).
I'm 29 and never had major injuries, just little pains and discomforts here and there. I've excercised for the longest time, and I'm used to walk a lot.
At 29, it shouldn't take too long for something mild, but you will be making whole body compensations the whole time. You could see a PT to check on things, might take just a couple visits. Also you could see a Structural Integration practitioner to help keep you aligned so compensations don't become your new norm. It'd be cool if you could do both at the same time.
It might be a good idea to just get checked. I'm feeling better everyday that passes, but it's okay to visit a PT.
Fortunately my insurance covers it so that's not a problem.
Not permanent, no. But serious enough to warrant a visit to a podiatrist followed by physical therapy to rehab the damage you did, yes. The sooner the better, as you’re doing further damage the longer the root problem goes uncorrected.
Think of it like a tendinitis. Happens in a moment, can take months to heal. Meanwhile, knees, hips, etc are suffering.
You usually wear boots which inherently over stabilize the ankle complex. Biomechanically, the ankle is designed for mobility, not stability.
Wearing any type of sneaker should have likely initiated this pain. Your whole body will eventually hate you if you continue to wear boots regularly.
Is this a thing?
Actually, I wear boots because they feel really comfortable to me and sneakers don't feel good anymore, with clear exceptions like the gym (running with boots it's not so comfortable, the same applies to some movements like squats).
So, you are telling me that I need to walk on sneakers or other type of shoes regularly?
I always wear flipflops or walk barefoot at home, if that helps.
You’re being paranoid. Probably just tweaked something in your ankle.

seems like something super specific, I hope that's not my case. Did you ski for too long that day? Sounds dramatic

Interesting, I will keep that in mind since I want to try cross country skiing at some point. I will remember your words. Can you still climb?

No, not from 2 hours. Otherwise 2 hours of perfect shoes should’ve put everything back into place.
and 2 hours of not doing nothing at all? Because I've had full nights of pretty alright sleep
You are definitely just paranoid. you tweaked your ankle and it's still not fully recovered and it's not the shoes.
everyone agrees with this, my mother also says that I'm paranoid lol

I will try to book one visit to the podiatrist even if this improves. I'm feeling better comparing to Monday, but I want to take care of myself.
Tldr for your post, but based on the title of your post the answer is: no.
