So building up slowly was part of my recovery process. I was inspired by the fact that they were the only shoes that I could walk comfortably in when my ankle was injured. I started off on the treadmill, and just built up from there. It made my calves a bit sore to start with, but nothing that lasted for more than a day or two.I have a really high arch, so I'd always used "motion control" shoes before. I videoed myself running on a treadmill with them, and I can see how my mechanics have improved - using the natural cusioning of my arch to develop a nice mid-foot strike.</blockquote>
