A while back I broke my tibia, fibula, three places in my ankle, dislocated my ankle, and tore some ligaments. I had to have surgery to put everything back together with plates, pins, and screws. My surgeon, as well as my physical therapist, really emphasized the importance of having a good pair of supportive shoes to wear. I went to one of the local shoe stores and was fitted with a pair of Mizuno Wave Inspire 7s. I wasn't sold, though, because the shoes were expensive and I wanted to think about it for a couple of days and read reviews, etc. I checked with Amazon and not only was I impressed with the reviews, the shoes were much cheaper at just $40-something dollars (for the yellow/gray ones). I ordered them right away and couldn't be happier with my purchase. These shoes are AWESOME. They are comfortable and are the perfect combination of cushion and stability. I would recommend these to anyone who needs good shoes post-surgery.
I usually run in Brooks Ravenna 2, but I will be sure to give these Mizunos a try -- if I ever get back to running!
