I had patella tendonitis the past fall, and then a slight strain in my adductor. I'm 100% healthy and now looking to qualify for NBN. Have you ever used the Brooks Ghost 11? If so, are they comfortable to where you can feel the ground or are they "plush?"
I bought them to deal with a bad Achilles, but I'm still dealing with that Achilles and not able to really test them much.
I just know that one issue to watch out for with the high drop is planter fasciitis, so keep an eye on that at the first sign of planter pain.
I really like the feel of the Ghost 11 and the build quality, and the amount of shock absorbing rubber underneath.
I know there are people who rotate the Ghost with the Glycerin or a Hoka or something on recovery days, so the Ghost probably isn't going to be an every-single-day shoe.
But it will still likely be my #1 shoe and I love them so far.
I'm currently running in them and like them alot. They have a good amount of soft cushioning and don't feel very stiff. Good as a shoe to do recovery days and the bulk of your slower milage in.
Maybe pair them with something lighter and more responsive for faster workouts.
Plush. Slightly less plusher than 10. If you're fast, you won't like it.
Great everyday trainer, good cushion and durable. If I'm doing a workout I prefer the Launch (haven't tried the new one yet). Not sure about the "if you're fast" comment. If you are fast you have different shoes for different days and you don't run "fast" everyday.
No , I wear the DS Trainer.
