To me the shoes are secondary. I’d look at or for the cause.

I had problems with my achilles tendon a few years ago, and upon the suggestion of a friend, I switched from cushioned trainers (I’m 190 lbs.) and went to more firm (read stable) trainers. That seemed to solve my problems. I’m not sure that one brand is any better than another; however, since staying away from Nikes (Air Max), my achilles tendons have remained trouble fee.
