Achilles friendly shoes?

jelichek · 09-24-2012, 07:51 AM

I have had Achilles tendonitis for years. Play everyday and unless I want to go to the local chiro to have him dig down there a coupla times a week it is very important to wear shoes that are Achilles friendly. Have had very good luck with Nike 2K10's but not with the newer 11's and especially the 12's. New Vapor 9's very Achilles friendly but also have high instep and they don't work out the best there. So I'm wondering, since I haven't worn anything but Nike in eons, is there anything else out there that may work. So many shoes have that Achilles "notch" or tons of padding back there or whathaveyou. Any suggestions?
