I once had an injury on my last long run, missed most of the last three weeks, but ran the marathon OK. Admittedly a little slower than hoped as I was being conservative. So I wouldn't push to get back if I were you. Of course the other question is whether you have a different shoe to fall back on, that is also marathon worthy. Sometimes these things just happen. Maybe you landed on a stone or something, or you got tired and sloppy with your stride. It seems more than a little strange that a new pair of the same shoe would cause such a problem. Maybe if the new ones are an update with some changes. Not exactly what I would recommend but maybe the old pair will go another 26 miles. Tough call.
