When coming back from a severe case of patellar tendonitis what is the best type of shoe to wear? A firm shoe, soft shoe? I am a neutral runner who typically wears glycerin, nimbus, pegasus kind-of-shoes. If you have had experience with patellar tendonitis I would appreciate hearing about your experience post injury. Thanks
bump it up
work on abductor strength, no downhills - or learn to run them making zig zags down the hill, work on the ankle strength - they are finding large numbers of pateller tendonitis in sports where the ankles get heavily taped such as basketball.
with that in mind, I have switched to minimalist shoes that do not make the ankle rigid, like nike frees or of late mizuno waveriders.
good luck - had it for nearly a year.
