He didn't see it as an issue, I guess (at least not the centimeter discrepancy I have).<br />As for the 6 weeks...I've heard that some cases take longer, but maybe that's not true. Either way, mine came back pretty much full-bore when I started running again, so it was more involved than just tendonitis in my case.Colin Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17748487053513730467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630191868059143398.post-83803453535713019912010-11-03T15:05:51.085-07:002010-11-03T15:05:51.085-07:00I am curious, did he validate or contradict anythi...I am curious, did he validate or contradict anything the other people said- like the leg length thing?<br /><br />Also , FWIW- I agree about the 6 weeks off should've helped the achilles.

I used to ...This is great news. You are fixable!!!<br /><br />I used to wear Nike Zoom Vomero (which are cushion) shoes when I was a heel striker. After re-training my stride to be a forefoot runner I had a bad case of Plantar, which caused me to look at my shoes. I switched to Nike Triax (which are stability), and have been great for the past year. And now, they are not bricks. Actually I do not notice much difference in the feedback I get from my Nike Free 3.0's.Adam Culp (Crazy Floridian)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13001578044343617961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630191868059143398.post-32006900021413670282010-11-03T08:39:43.476-07:002010-11-03T08:39:43.476-07:00I think you are right to trust him so far. I think...I think you are right to trust him so far. I think I mentioned before that changing your form should happen over a long time as you developed it over a long time. The custom orthotics is definitely worth a try.

Custom orthotics makes a lot of sense given your non-symmetrical pronation (as does finding ways to stretch-out your excessively tight calf and Achilles.)Mark U.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04792726660751354015noreply@blogger.com
