Shoe recs for Achilles tendinitis (need wide toe box, heavier runner)
Hey y’all, I’m dealing with Achilles tendinitis and trying to find the right shoes. I’ve run in Altras for a while and love the wide toe box, but I know zero-drop and their 4mm heel drop might not be helping my Achilles right now.
I’m 6’3”, 231 lbs, so I need something cushioned and supportive. Looking into New Balance and maybe other brands—ideally something with: • Wide toe box • 6mm+ drop for Achilles relief • Good cushioning for heavier runners
Any suggestions on models that check these boxes?
