Best Footwear for Achilles Recovery

Finding the right shoes when transitioning out of the boot is hard! It was clear that having a high heel to toe drop was critical. If you aren't familiar with this measurement, the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot is known as the drop (aka. offset, heel differential, toe drop, pitch, gradient). I came across Runrepeat.com and it helped guide me to the best shoes. It even has a filter for heel to toe drop.

My personal recommendations:

Shoes - Brooks Ghost 16 - 12.4mm heel-to-toe drop, very comfortable, no heel rubbing

Shoes - Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 - 12.6mm heel-to-toe drop, very comfortable, no heel rubbing

Sandals/Slides - Hoka Ora Recover Slide 3  - Super comfortable, good stability
