Hi how much midfoot flexibility are there in the Nike Matumbos? I've been advised to get a more flexible spike for Achilles tendon problems.

Probably not what you want if you're looking for flexible. They're not the stiffest spikes around, but I don't think I would call them flexible. Have you tried Saucony Endorphins? The LD model is basically nothing, You can roll them up if you feel like it and the are incredibly light. I love them for a 10k.
I find it odd that you're being advised to wear a flexible spike due to achilles problems. Th stiffness, if I'm correct, would allow more return from each step and actually help prevent fatigue and stress on the muscles supporting the tendon as well as the tendon itself. But admittedly, I'm not a doctor so I have no clue.
