So sorry about the achilles pain! Not fun at all, but its great that walking doesn't bother it. You are doing the right thing to rest it; hopefully it will heal very quickly!

Sorry about the foot - it's a good thing you and the eliptical are such good friends.

Are the Merrel's trail running shoes?

Aunt--walking bothers it. Just not as much as running or hobbling. It isn't as bad with the merrels b/c there isn't all that cushion back there pressing on my foot.

JD-merrells are part of the bare foot running revolution. http://www.merrell.com/US/en/Barefoot I thinkyou can get it in a trail shoe. Mine is called the pace shoe.

Hey that looks like a great shoe! Thanks for the link.
