They are Stability Plus shoes - made for Clydesdales like me. I'm a little suprised that RRS put you in them and not GT 2140's (Stability).<br /><br />The Wave Nirvana is more like the GT 2140 in its support - it is a Stability shoe. Do you pronate and/or drop your ankles when running? That is the main reason for the use of Stability shoes. Have you talked to your PT about orthotics?<br /><br />As far as pool running - I know several people who have done/are doing due to injury. The best place to go is to my friend Surf's blog at http://www.fitlifesf.com/. She is actively pool running to rehab for a hip injury.Glenn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119271602749821767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-20139846055267733552009-05-05T20:09:00.000-07:002009-05-05T20:09:00.000-07:00Hey new friend Sara. . . its Bonnie (from North Br...Hey new friend Sara. . . its Bonnie (from North Broadway and Becky's Blog) . . .

Good ...Mmmm... I can't resist peanut m&ms!<br /><br />Good luck with the shoes - I finally found the pair that let me run pain-free (asics2130), just in time for them to put them to pasture :-(joyRuNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03033973041471006513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-86038893086109610882009-05-05T11:17:00.000-07:002009-05-05T11:17:00.000-07:00Hey Sara!

It's my job to solve injuries like that all of the time. What part of your knee is hurting? And the arch supports didn't help? If you have any questions about shoes or injuries, my blog is coolrunnerjessica.blogspot.com. <br /><br />JessicaJessica Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02574748269023308216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-4401281801184567082009-05-05T08:57:00.000-07:002009-05-05T08:57:00.000-07:00The shoe thing is enough to drive anyone bonkers, ...The shoe thing is enough to drive anyone bonkers, especially when they go and change the style of your favorite shoe... It feels like every time I find a shoe that works well the manufacturer goes and changes it. I'm glad you've found something that works!

I'm not sure I'm happy with them. They are a little soft, but since I'm not running the marathon this year, I'll probably stick with them.<br /><br />I love that RR takes back shoes (so does Movin' Shoes BTW)...it does make me wonder about the markup on my $130 shoes that allows shoe sellers to take them back so easily :-?<br /><br />(oh, and the peanut M&Ms? THE. BEST! I try to keep them out of the house because if they're around, I have almost no self control whatsoever.)Aka Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691390225208616675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-1910332935620356772009-05-05T08:05:00.000-07:002009-05-05T08:05:00.000-07:00Congrats on joining the Mizuno family-- I love min...Congrats on joining the Mizuno family-- I love mine!!!!

I too have been struggling with a bit of knee pain and an attempt to find the perfect shoes to solve the problem. I just bought a pair of Asics and decided this morning I don't like them. I am going to to go back today to try some others. What a process! I also love peanut m&ms...yum!<br />~Kelly<br />http://redsoxcap.blogspot.comKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964218970797460632noreply@blogger.com
