Is it the rholeeg or just a joint causing u a problem?

I would wrap it and do light exercise 'till the run then vet ready for those compresses after you run :-)
I hope you would already be doing hot/cold compresses.

Paddding doesn't necessarily equate to suitability.
This is from a review..
and from the Brooks site themselves...Quote:
Specs
Per Running Warehouse, the Brooks PureFlow 4 weighs in at 8.9 oz in men’s size 9, and sole stack heights are 22mm heel, 18mm forefoot.
So, plenty of cushioning but the heel toe drop is only 4mm, which effectively is a minimalist shoe.Quote:

My recommendation would be (if you want to keep your Brooks) to shorten your stride and start concentrating on landing in the mid-sole area of your foot. It will take a while to get used to shortening your stride so shorten your run whilst you get used to it or alternatively, get a pair of shoes that have a bigger heel toe drop such as a 6-8mm.
These are my road shoes, Inov-8 X233, a minimalist shoe with a 4mm drop. Far less cushioning than the Pureflow but exactly the same drop.

Got given a brand new pair of Luna Mono running sandals from a mate who imports them into SA, this morning.
Guess I'll have to start running in them. :)
