Just wanted to give a follow up on my achilles problem.

I tried using a different pair of mtb shoes on my ride and it helped my achilles somewhat but I ended up with knee pain. I felt I was nearing the end of my rope and decided to follow up with being fitted with an insole that my ortho recommended. So I went to my LBS and they fitted me with a heat molded insole. I gotta tell you I was very skeptical but I had tried everything else and on every ride my achilles would cause me grief.

I rode a pretty good distance using the Sole and I had no achilles pain! I rode the last 3 days and I am finally pain free. It was the best $40 I spent. I'm so glad to finally have relief.
