Hi,
I've read lots of threads about the new plated shoes and in amongst those are anecdotes about how some may aggravate a runner's Achilles. But they aren't the main point of those threads so that line of thought doesn't seem to be followed though. Unless I missed it.
What I'd be interested in is if there are runners here who tend to have Achilles issues and have found one model better or worse than others. Obviously that would be anecdotal but maybe we find a trend by grouping thoughts here.
Personally I've only tried the NB Fuelcell TC and Nike Zoom Fly 2. Both are nice shoes but my ankle gets sore immediately after a run in either. So not specifically aggravating the Achilles but worries me enough to not want to do too much in them.
At the moment I'm training almost entirely on trails with Hoka Challenger ATRs. Thanks for any input.
