Question Are my sneakers giving my a better workout??? HELP!

I just recently started training for the Police Department's physical. The advice I was given is-running, running, running and some more running. I had a baby 5 months ago and started excercising vigrously for about 2 months now. I've started going to the nutritionist and have 8 pounds left to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight (which was still overweight!)
I just got brand spanking new sneakers-I have done some reserch and picked the "stability" shoe, Asics Gel Nimbus 9. Since I started using them, I feel like I am getting twice as much workout-in fact when I do a 45 minute cardio class-I am wiped out after 30 minutes!!!!! Same with running. They are extremely comfortable....but what's happening is just strange. Is it because I am overweight??????
Also, I have noticed that my lower legs, my shins and ankles-actually every part of my lower muscles hurt very bad, especially at night once I lay down and try to get back up-I can barely walk!!!! What the heck is going on???
Totally baffling!

Anynone???
