Been a runner a long tome. Have battled strained calf muscles past 3 years. mileage is 10-15 per week. average arch. I run in stability shoes and and ever so often Nike Pegasus. Which shoe is better for me ? tired of the injuries. have tried all the stuff(ice, stretching, massage, foam roller)Any ANY help advice would be much appreciated.
weak/ soft

Mid foot or heel striker?
Have you ever tried minimalist shoes with a flat landing/mid foot strike?

None of the things you say you've tried would have addressed the underlying cause. I wonder whether your hamstrings have become weak.
For "all the stuff" you mention you neglect ACTUALLY STRENGTHENING THE MUSCLES with heel raises/drops.
Are you doing over 100 of these a day? If not then stop with all the other BS and get to WORK.
