What is the best for the achilles?
Soft, plush cushioned shoes or slightly firmer cushion?
I'm asking because my current shoe is the Saucony hurricane iso 4, and I have had fairly consistent Achilles pain with this shoe ever since I got it. My last shoe, the Saucony Guide 10, got me through xc season with not nearly as much trouble and only getting one bad flare up after a hilly workout.
If firmer cushion is better, how does the new Saucony Guide look with the newer 'iso' version? Looks like the medial post is gone, so is there less stability feature?
Thanks
