High heel to toe drop shoes

Is there a list of shoes that have a higher than normal heel to toe drop? I have Achilles tendon soreness after playing, and I think having a shoe with a slightly raised heel would help.

Sometimes all you need is to replace old shoes with a new pair as Achilles tightness is common with old shoes that have lost their support.

Foot Doc Zach has a spreadsheet that shows the heel toe drop for all the tennis shoes he’s tested. I’d have to look for it but it’s linked in the description of one of his videos.

Thanks, I will check dr Zach shoe guide.

I've gone through 3 pairs of shoes so far in 6 months. Barricades really hurt my Achilles because their heel pads press in on the back of the foot, maybe because the design is so low. KSwiss Ultrashot shoes feel better, but I wanted to see what else is out there before buying a new pair.

I went from the Ultrashot to the Mizuno Wave Enforce. Similar in a lot of ways but I think it feels lighter and the way it locks your foot in is super confidence inspiring. Worth a try in my opinion.
