Interested if anyone else experiences Achilles issues after racing in the vaporfly with that foam padding on the inside of the heel. Both tendons feel irritated after a recent 10 mile race and I suspect the tendon rubbing against the foam is causing some issues. Curious if people have switched to another super shoe and seen the issue dissipate or if they made modification to the existing shoe, i.e., sized up, in order to alleviate the pain.
I wonder if you couldn't just cut it out? I haven't ever had issues with rubbing in that particular shoe, but I recall the OG NB Beacons causing issues and I made some minor mods to it.
But I also understand that we're talking a 120 v 250 dollar shoe here.
I have the same issue as TS. I cut out the foam.
Thanks for the advice. Did cutting out the foam alleviate the issue?
Yes.
I have to say I have two pairs, I use the older pair (the one with the cut-out) for training and I use the untouched pair for races.
