Not to bring this thread back to life, but I recently bought a pair of those New Balance BB610BPs and whoever said it's the best pair they've ever worn, I concur... Thanks!!

Two seasons ago, I went with a Nike shoe. Within a couple of weeks worth of games my achilles were hurting up a storm. I barely made it to the end of the season. That has taught me two things - 1) Make sure that I stretch on a regular basis, and 2) Always wear NB's. The past two season have been a breeze on my achilles despite working in a ever increasing number of game on a year round basis. So I completely agree with JoeTheRef. I have two pair of the 610's. As a matter of fact, I exchanged my pair of Nikes for my second pair of NB's and received a store discount for it.

You're welcome! (That was me way back in post #32 of the thread.) Now I gotta get me a new pair.
