Man, I went through the exact same thing a couple of years ago. I always wore these pearl izumi running shoes that were just perfect for my feet...and then they suddenly stopped making them. I never quite found a good shoe to replace them and just kept on running. Over the course of about a year, I could feel the PF start to creep into my right foot. You tell yourself you're going to run slow - but its so incredibly hard to run slow enough to keep yourself under a reasonable pace and to do it for a long enough time that it ultimately cures the issue.
I wish I had the answer - ultimately I got COVID and it took me out of running for almost a solid month - and THAT effectively cured it. It stills creeps in on occasion - I wake up with stiff feet or something - but I keep my pace extremely slow and do my strength work and just keep on pluggin' along. I wish had something more positive to say, but solidarity nonetheless!
I hate it when the shoe companies do that -- they come out with new variations every year, and I'm like, "wait -- the old one was perfect for me!" I imagine this will be something that will flare up from time to time, you're right -- hopefully I can find a solution that will keep it at bay. The price of getting older, right?
