9.My 6yo son¡¯s Asics 2130¡¯s have a lower Nike Free 5.0 V3 UK sale drop than my wife¡¯s 2130¡¯s. This is good, but there¡¯s still an awful lot of probably unnecessary cushion on the sole of that shoe. I¡¯d still like to find him some sneakers with a flatter sole, but thankfully he spends most of his time barefoot or in Crocs.
As far as shoes irritating it, it hadn¡¯t been a problem in 7 years of running. It was actually running barefoot and in minimal shoes that caused this to blow up so I don¡¯t think it is a case of footwear irritating the heel. Even now, if anything the heel lift of shoes relieves symptoms and I don¡¯t feel any pressure from the heel counters.
My heel pain was initially at the enthesis Nike Roshe Run Commemorative on the inside of the heel. That pain was/is moderate. The severe pain and swelling actually came from the bursitis and flaired up later as the symptoms progressed. I don¡¯t really have any tendon pain higher up in the body of the tendon. After 3 months of rest and a topical medication from my doctor the bursitis seems to be pretty much gone. Poking around on the heel the pain seems to mostly be at the enthesis on the medial heel.
My conclusion is that it is often hard to know what the thickness numbers being reported by manufacturers include ¨C i.e., just midsole, midsole + outsole, or insole + midsole + outsole. Seems to me the latter is the most accurate representation of where the foot would sit relative to the ground in any given shoe, and that¡¯s what I have reported here (with potential inaccuracies noted above). I should point out that a 1mm discrepancy is very small, and probably negligible from a performance standpoint (and not to mention, also probably well within the margin of error).
And finally, I guess a word of advice Nike Roshe Run Dyn FW QS to those transitioning to minimalist footwear ¨C high heeled shoes can actually help with insertional Achilles pain.If you have any thoughts or advice, feel free to leave a comment!
Despite the seemingly simple definition, I still find a few points confusing about the concept of heel-toe drop. Some places refer only to midsole height (e.g., Running Warehouse), whereas others (Brooks) include both midsole and outsole height in their calculation. Including the outsole does make a difference in some cases ¨C as an example here are the stats reported on the Brook Nike Free 5.0 Women's Lightweight s blog for the Brooks Launch (one of my favorite shoes):
