I've been feeling severe pain in my achilles tendon when I run.
I recently switched my running shoes. Used to run with Asics Nimbus and currently I'm using, Saucony Triumph and Kinvara.
Do you think I should return to nimbus or use a different new shoe?
My friend tells me I should use a shoe with stability. Here's a video of my running form, what do you guys think?
The right shoe is not shown as well, but look how that left shoe jerks inward and forces itself right against the achilles upon landing, right when there's the most pressure being put on your foot. I think those are not good shoes for you, and perhaps not for anyone.
Especially, do not wear shoes that hurt your feet.
You have gone from a high drop shoe to low (kinvara - 4mm) and moderately low (triumph - 8mm) shoes.If you did not slowly transition to these shoes then you may have stressed your achilles.

High heel lift shoes angle more into the achilles. Look at them from the side. The higher the heel lift, the more than crunch into the achilles, especially when you run.
The issue with these shoes is not anything to do with a lower heel lift, but that they jerk sideways at the same moment they are pressing into the achilles.
If the heel counters are hard plastic, then that compounds the insult to the injuries.
So, what kind or shoe do you recommend? Any brand/model suggestion?
Good job on the gf btw. Looks hot.
The drop change could have caused some stress. Take a look at this article:

You run with your butt sticking out and too much hip flexion. You need to stretch your hip flexors and strengthen your butt.
The problem is that running on the treadmill has wussified you. If you stop that, you should be fine.
