'Good for helping with injury re-habilitaion'
Strengths:
Generous Heel and mid-foot cushioning
Overall:
I've had stiff lower legs (below the level of the gastroc) for quite a while, and one of the legs wasn't getting any better - so I changed from a pair of Brooks to these, the cushioning is noticeably better and I feel like I'm not hitting the ground with a 'thud' any more. After five runs, both legs are back to 100% with no pain/stiffness, I'm assuming this is due to better vibration absorption in these shoes. They've probably not solved whatever the root cause of my problems were, but they've definitely compensated and allowed me to up my mileage again, pain free.
